Concept
Seven building blocks together form the longitudinal scenic walk
interrupted by two squares with special building blocks; the largest
square, bordered by a historical farmhouse while the small square,
bordered by a distinctive shopping pavilion. The building blocks
designed by three different architects form a recognizable whole,
through the use of the same brick. GROUP A has designed three of the
building blocks within WC Terwijde. Block H near the train station
consists of a plinth of shops with three floors of apartments. Block FI
similarly consists of a shopping plinth with three layers of apartments.
Both blocks possess a robust plinth with a cantilevered upper part.
Block FII has been designed as a separate shopping pavilion. Together
with the historic farm it forms an exception in the urban plan. The
specially shaped roof of the pavilion transforms the block into an all
sided object on the small square.
