Revitalizing an Urban Hub with Smart Design
Urban Climate Architects is leading the transformation of Pikeursbaan 9-11/Verzetslaan 30, centrally located between Deventer's historic city center and the station area. This ambitious redevelopment repurposes existing office buildings into a vibrant multifunctional space, integrating offices, residential units, and public facilities. By combining architecture with vertical expansion, sustainable materials, and smart urban planning, the project brings new energy to the city.
Enhancing Urban Connectivity
A key focus of this redevelopment is strengthening urban connections. The design integrates green spaces and active public areas, improving accessibility and creating a healthier environment for both residents and visitors.
Vertical Expansion & Building with Biobased Materials
The project revitalizes three existing buildings with sustainable enhancements, including:
- Active Ground Floor: New functional spaces enhance interaction with the city.
- Sustainable Housing: Upper floors are transformed into modern residences, addressing Deventer's housing needs.
- Layered Additions in Wood: Using biobased and prefabricated wooden structures, the vertical extension increases functionality while maintaining architectural integrity.
A Future-Proof, Sustainable Approach
Urban Climate Architects emphasizes sustainability by incorporating biobased materials, wooden construction, and advanced BIM technology. This ensures an energy-efficient, eco-friendly transformation with a focus on a healthy indoor climate. By harmonizing historical elements with modern, sustainable solutions, this project sets a new standard for urban redevelopment in Deventer.
