A qualitative boost for the neigbourhood with a design based on a broad social consensus, responsive to current developments and scenarios for the future.
Erasmuspark is a warm living environment where people can live independently and safely in the midst of society.
In Erasmuspark, older people live independently and are assured of good care. A housing corporation, developer, and care provider have joined forces to realize care homes in the heart of the neighbourhood. This also includes facilities for the neighbourhood. This mix is precisely what ensures the welcome mutual integration.
Residents and residents of the former Erasmusflat were closely involved in the development of the plan. Living wishes such as a free view, privacy, and also meeting and staying in your own neighbourhood came strongly to the fore. These wishes have been translated into a design in which four buildings of different heights are positioned in an informal way in a park-like setting. In between, a route from the neighbourhood to the city centre of Goes meanders. A green and lively heart has emerged, which invites you to meet inside and out.
The 156 apartments have a wide variety of sizes and layouts and are a mix of rental and ownership. The homes have a flexible layout so that they can be adapted to the wishes of the residents. Each apartment has a view of the surroundings and privacy. The buildings are interconnected by an underground parking garage and partially by a single-story plinth. This is where the common and commercial facilities are located. Not only residents of the complex, but also residents of the neighbourhood can use these functions.
Sustainability, low energy consumption, and low operating costs go hand in hand. The buildings are compact, have low-maintenance but still warm materials, and a beautiful and functional green sedum roof. Energy generation with a central WKO system contributes to very low energy consumption. The flexibility and sustainability of the home and building make the entire residential care centre future-proof. Erasmuspark connects residents with their own neighbourhood and is a home where people can live independently and safely.
