High-quality social housing
The tall tower at the corner of the Rotterdamseweg and the canal marks the entrance to Gouda and contains 34 apartments. It belongs to Woonpartners Midden-Holland and has been named 'De Gouwe'. The low-rise building, which architecturally seeks a connection with the adjacent Korte Akkeren neighborhood, contains 29 apartments. It belongs to Mozaïek Wonen and is called 'De IJssel'. The names refer to the two major rivers that flow near this location. On the ground floor, both buildings are connected by a shared plinth.
High-quality social housing
The complex is designed as an ensemble, with masonry serving as the unifying factor.
Diversity and accents are created through different brickwork patterns and mortar colors. In the tall 'De IJssel', the verticality of the facade is emphasized, while 'De Gouwe' features horizontal bands.
The majority of the apartments have four rooms. All apartments have a spacious outdoor area, which can be soundproofed using sliding glass panels.
Sustainable building for the future
The homes are being built gas-free and Nearly Energy Neutral in accordance with the latest requirements. Extra investment is being made in a healthy living environment within the homes. There is a green roof between the towers. The associations are also collaborating to facilitate shared electric cars. This is one of the solutions to reduce the number of cars and lower parking pressure.
