Area addressed

In collaboration with the municipality West Maas en Waal , the rest of the surrounding area West Maas en Waal also West Maas en Waal developed alongside the construction of the nine homes. For example, in consultation with the tennis club located behind the homes, the boundary fence between the homes and the tennis club has been replaced with a “kokowall,” a sound barrier that can be planted with vegetation. The exterior of this barrier is finished with sustainable coconut fibers.

The municipality plans to redesign the entire length of Kampstraat to make it more climate-resilient and carry out extensive renovations. The road surface, sidewalks, and green spaces will be renewed. A stormwater sewer will be installed to relieve the burden on the sanitary sewer system. In addition, most parking spaces will be made more green through the use of permeable paving. A gathering spot with a bench and greenery will also be created. Finally, the utility companies will replace cables and pipes.
