Topping up and transforming Groningen: De Kroon aan de Nieuweweg
Building on what's already there
In Groningen, with De Kroon aan de Nieuweweg, we show how the city can grow without expanding. By topping building and transformation of an existing building we are adding new homes to an existing structure.
With sustainable construction a project is being created that not only creates space, but also strengthens the city.

Capping up as a smart strategy for urban densification
The housing challenge requires new solutions. With urban densification and on top, we make optimal use of existing buildings.
If building transformation architect and renovation architect Netherlands we combine topping with redevelopment and quality improvement.

Sustainable construction with wood and biobased solutions
Sustainable construction only really gains strength when we opt for biobased construction and smart, circular solutions. That's why we focus on timber construction: from CLT construction Netherlands upto engineered timber buildings NL.
If timber construction architect we design lightweight structures that are suitable for topping and provide minimal load on existing buildings.

Circular construction and reuse as a starting point
With circular construction in the Netherlands and reuse of building materials we give existing buildings a second life.
If circular design architect we look at material use, flexibility and longevity in conjunction.

Sustainable addition to Groningen with circular and biobased construction
New living space without extra use of space
De Kroon aan de Nieuweweg is a powerful example of how we can use the existing city. With topping building we are adding homes without expanding to the countryside.
This makes topping up an important strategy within sustainable construction and urban development.

Transformation and reuse as a foundation
Transforming existing buildings creates a sustainable basis for new homes. With transformation of office building into a home-like strategies and repurposing, we strengthen the city.
If renovation architect Netherlands and building transformation architect we exploit the potential of existing structures.

Timber construction and CLT as accelerators of topping
Timber construction makes lifting faster and more efficient. With CLT construction Netherlands and building solid wood, lightweight structures with a high load-bearing capacity are created.
If architect timber construction we focus on solutions that are scalable and future-oriented.

Climate-adaptive and nature-inclusive living
A future-proof building takes the climate and environment into account. With climate-adaptive design and nature-inclusive construction creates a healthy and resilient living environment.
Green and smart solutions contribute to comfort and biodiversity.
