Two Faced in Groningen: Innovative redevelopment by UC Architects with summits and sustainable transformation in Groningen (NL)

A unique architectural transformation was realized on the Zuiderdiep in Groningen. The project, called Two Faced, combines the preservation of historic elements with modern architecture. As architects, we had the opportunity to design a new street that connects both the old and the new city in a surprising way.

Two Faced: Redevelopment with a vision on the Zuiderdiep in Groningen

UC Architects realized a high-profile redevelopment on the Zuiderdiep in Groningen. The 'Two Faced' project combines historic restoration with summits and sustainable transformation. It is an example of innovative architecture where history and future come together in a unique urban renewal.

Topping and restoration on the Zuiderdiep: redevelopment with respect for history

The redevelopment at the front focuses on topping, renovation and restoration. In doing so, UC Architects carefully preserved and strengthened the historic facades, while maintaining the original character of the Zuiderdiep. Smart additions to the existing buildings create additional living space without detracting from the historical value of the place.

Innovative transformation at the back: densification and renewal

At the rear of the plot, plenty of space has been used for urban densification. Modern forms of living such as apartments and student homes have been added here in a contemporary way. The boundaries between old and new are blurring, resulting in a dynamic architectural whole that fits into the urban context of Groningen.

UC Architects connects old and new with sustainable architecture

By opting for innovative and sustainable construction techniques, including the reuse of materials, UC Architects contributes to the city's ecological future with this project. The architecture was deliberately designed to be both functional and aesthetically sustainable.

Dynamic living in a transformed city block

Two Faced shows how topping up and transformation can go hand in hand with redevelopment. The project gives Groningen's cityscape a new boost and offers space for future-proof urban living while preserving heritage.
