Zoetermeer urban planning: Bredewater as a green transformation of the city
From a petrified area to a green residential area
In Zoetermeer, Bredewater is transforming from a paved and monofunctional area into a green and vibrant urban district. This creates a new balance between living, nature and use.
With sustainable construction and transformation of an existing building we give the area a future-proof identity.

Urban densification with room for quality
The city is growing and requires smart solutions. With urban densification we add homes without expanding to the countryside, while at the same time making space for greenery and quality of stay.
This is in line with our vision of:
