Transformation of De Stede shopping center into a livable urban district
In The Hague, we are transforming the De Stede shopping center into a new, vibrant city district. What was once a monofunctional place is growing into an area where living, meeting and nature come together.
With sustainable construction, biobased construction and circular construction, the Netherlands gets the area a future-proof boost. This transformation of an existing building shows how we renew the city without expanding.

From shopping center to urban living environment
De Stede's strength lies in reconnecting functions. Transforming the area creates a place where living, working and meeting come together.
As a building transformation architect and repurposing building architect, we look beyond the building. We design complete living environments that focus on social connection and quality of life.

Biobased construction and timber construction for a healthy city
Sustainable construction only really gains strength when we opt for biobased construction and timber construction. In De Stede, we focus on natural materials and light structures.
With CLT bouw Nederland and building solid wood, we achieve a healthy and comfortable living environment. As a timber architect, we make buildings that contribute to well-being and sustainability.
