Competition Sociale woningen Bogerse Velden submitted
META architectuurbureau submits its competition proposition for the counsel housing project Bogerse Velden Oost (Fase 2) in Lier, commissioned by the Lierse Maatschappij voor de Huisvesting. In de basic variant of the design proposition 33 rental apartments and 26 buying houses are included.
The challenge consisted of meeting the demanded program in a way that respects and uses the qualities of the existing special situation. By expanding further the play network foreseen in the master plan a fordable whole is created, rather than a closely built area that stresses pedestrians and offers room to playing children. By adding extra green, the green belt of larger and smaller parks around the site is completed.
The apartment buildings manifest themselves as 3 autonomous compact volumes with each an own underground parking and own entrance. The ground floor is half raised, which creates a better privacy and which allows us to build more budget friendly.
In the two ground bound home typologies a strong choice is made for volumetry; long closed together fronts are avoided.
This research for the right volume was driven from divers proposition such as views, orientation, grouping of wet functions… Here as well the characteristic rationality does not compromise the richness.
