In Kerkrade three 100 m long and 10 levels high apartment blocks from the 1960th will soon be out of use. The housing company Heem Wonen has decided on the background of urban structural changes, to develop 100 new residential units out of the former 500 that have been developed from the old buildings. With this concept, it was accepted as IBA project of IBA Park City.

In the winter semester 16/17 a prototype for new housing units from the re-used buildings will be developed on the basis of the component catalog (Bill of quantities and BIM). The prototype is intended to represent the essential features of the overall design and thereby formulate an approach on the issue of re-use of components in the context of housing. The prototype will be built in the summer of 2017.

The prototype should be a maximum of two units and partially at least two storeys high. The apartment size is based on number of occupants, determined by the allocation key to the housing developer. Aspects such as thermal insulation and comfort will be answered in the context of structural elaboration.

Assignment

Floor plans, elevations, sections and details

Model

The project manager of the residential society Heem Wonen will be present at the colloquia and stands for further inquiries. To each colloquium a model is being brought.
