    About the Louise (Block N) at Overhoeks

    The Louise is a new apartment building on the corner of Grasweg and Docklandsweg. The new Overhoeks De Louise building consists of 113 social rental apartments with storage and bicycle storage and 3 commercial spaces. De Louise will be a striking building with its ten residential floors and square floor plan. Characteristic features are the two setbacks starting on the 6th floor and the cruciform columns with rounded interior corners. On the large setback, a communal roof terrace will be realized with a view of the neighborhood overhead. The interior is characterized by a generous green atrium. The facade consists of sand-colored precast concrete elements interspersed with bronze-colored aluminum. The beautiful rounded corners in the precast balconies and columns give a robust but also soft appearance.

    Another successful Overhoeks collaboration

    This project follows the earlier projects The Berend, The Jakoba and the August, also in Overhoeks.

    The project, like all our Overhoeks projects, is characterized by a very intensive collaboration between contractor, architect, client and consultants to engineer the design. The good cooperation in this integral team has once again proven itself in this project. Project developer and client Julienne Schreinemachers of Ymere tells in an interview with the The Architect about this so-called "co-making" approach.
