Project Pauwenhof is located near our office in Zaandam. The project includes 43 homes of which 29 are owner-occupied homes and 14 are life-capacity free sector rental homes. VDNDP provided the engineering from the DO to the UO phase, in collaboration with KBK.
The goal of the architect (Bureau SLA) was to create a living environment that is pleasant for zwle seniors as well as families. This resulted in the Pauwenhof with 29 family homes and 14 senior housing units and a typology that looks beyond the row house.
The "court houses" consist of one and a half floors with a bedroom on the first floor for seniors. In addition, there are three-story family homes, situated on a park with playground equipment. This makes Pauwenhof an attractive project for different stages and forms of life.
Despite the different typologies, the neighborhood does have a uniform appearance with common detailing. The brick facades are carefully designed with quality brick in two masonry dressings. Architectural detail was chosen, implemented in the different buildings, in order to still connect them. This is reflected in the continuous, concrete bands.
The project was completed in July 2023.
In addition to engineering, VDNDP incorporated the chosen buyer options for Pauwenhof into the models and drawing work. This was the first project VDNDP worked on together with KBK Bouwgroep has developed. We look back on a pleasant cooperation!
VDNDP also prepared the specification matrix (part of the methodology of specifying) for Pauwenhof before starting the Building engineer elaboration. Here we discussed with KBK the starting points and outstanding issues. This gave us a good basis for starting the Building engineer elaboration.
'When you start a work as a construction team with a client and work it out in a model from the beginning, I certainly believe that this methodology is of great value. Especially to establish starting points, but also to take a client along in the bottlenecks and focal points where decisions have to be made.'
