Optoppen Herestraat Groningen: efficient urban expansion with impact
The city grows up
At Herestraat 42 in Groningen, we show how the city can grow without expanding. By topping building we are adding new homes above existing buildings.
With sustainable construction and smart design strategies, we use the city as it already exists and create space where you wouldn't immediately expect it.

Topping up as a solution for urban densification
The housing challenge requires innovative solutions. With urban densification and on top of that, we make optimal use of existing structures and infrastructure.
If building transformation architect and renovation architect Netherlands we combine topping with quality improvement and reuse.

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 at the heart
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 the use of materials and flexibility in conjunction.

Topping Groningen's housing development: sustainable densification in the city center
New homes without new land
De Herestraat in Groningen proves that the solution to the housing problem is often already there. With Top housing construction in the Netherlands we are adding homes without expanding to the countryside.
This makes topping up a powerful strategy within sustainable construction and urban development.

Transformation and topping as a combination
By transformation of an existing building combining with topping creates an integrated approach.
If renovation architect Netherlands and building transformation architect we make optimal use of the potential of existing buildings.

Timber construction and CLT as accelerators of topping
Timber construction makes lifting faster, lighter and more efficient. With CLT construction Netherlands and solid wood construction create structures that fit perfectly with existing buildings.
If architect timber construction we focus on solutions that are scalable and future-oriented.
