Waalkwartier Urban Block

Nijmegen, NL

In the coming years the Western riverfront of Nijmegen will be developed into a vibrant new residential area.

As part of KCAP's urban design for the Waalkwartier subplan, Koschuch Architects has been selected to design a residential tower on the Waal that fits with the ambition of a diverse and mixed residential community.

In our design for the tower we want to embrace optimistic and generous architecture and thus amplify the current Industrial character of the area.

As a new icon for the Waalkwartier, the tower consists of a diversity of housing types for different target groups and lifestyles. The efficient structure with a load-bearing façade ensures maximum flexibility of housing typologies and numbers of homes per floor, both 1-layer and 2-layer.

All loft apartments are positioned in an angle so that the view is enjoyed to the maximum. The individualized outdoor spaces, which are offered as buyer options, are organized behind a neutral grid. This grid with underlying outdoor spaces provides an extra layered appearance in the facade.
