Leidsche Rijn Centrum G8
Together with BureauVanEig, Zecc designed a residential block with 178 social rented properties for plot G8 in Leidsche Rijn Centre, Utrecht in a project realised for the tenants of Mitros & Portaal Housing associations. Made up of six to nine layers, this urban block contains a communal courtyard designed by Flux Landscape. The great challenge of this project was to realise affordable homes that could match the lofty ambitions of Jo Coenen’s urban design plan. This proved successful thanks to a smart block structure designed around three basic floor plans, achieving a high sustainability level of BENG 1, 2 and 3 (BENG is the Dutch acronym for ‘almost energy-neutral building’).
The residential block has been designed as a characteristic urban housing block, familiar from European cities, featuring a plinth, a central section, and a roof termination. The two architects’ firms took inspiration from Italian architect Giovanni Muzio's brick architecture in Milan. Broad piers, surfaces with brick relief, a variety of masonry bonds and an unusually high plinth with repetitive elements.
