Currently undergoing construction, the largely residential building is a curved tower with gradually protruding balconies. Encased between the dense city and the park, the self-dubbed “urban tree farm” aims not only to encompass the surrounding views of the volcanoes and nature beyond but also to integrate the landscape within the building itself.

DIY House / Reset Architecture

October 15, 2018 Daniel Tapia 0

Designing for self-builders requires simplicity in construction and building methods, but also creates possibilities to be very specific and explicit in space and presence. Anne and Merijn bought a building plot in 2013 in the new development area Vossenpels near Nijmegen. Without much help from construction workers, they have built a house themselves.
