UC Architects transformed an abandoned school site into the atmospheric Tambourine Court: a remarkable one, energy-efficient residential area with 44 sustainable waterfront homes. This transformation gives a new life to a forgotten place, with an eye for architecture, biodiversity and a sense of community.
Seamless Integration into the Environment
Tamboerijnhof's design fits perfectly with the surrounding buildings. By cleverly responding to the differences in height and architectural style, a harmonious whole is created that does justice to the location. The friendly and open architecture promotes encounters and makes the neighborhood accessible and livable.
Strengthening Public Space
In addition to the houses, a lot of attention has been paid to the surrounding outdoor space. A wide, green area with trees and native plants is publicly accessible and promotes local biodiversity. This natural corridor not only provides space for flora and fauna, but also creates a relaxing living environment for residents and neighbours.
Sustainable Transformation for the Future
Tambourijnhof is more than just a residential area: it's an example of how UC Architects can give a new meaning to inner-city locations with smart designs and sustainable principles. This transformation shows that redevelopment can contribute to both the social cohesion and the ecological value of the city.
