De Zwarte Hond selected for strategic plan Dwarskade Nootdorp
In the coming years, the designated ‘transformation area’ of Dwarskade in Nootdorp will be converted from a greenhouse complex into a green residential area. Commissioned by and in cooperation with the municipality of Pijnacker-Nootdorp, De Zwarte Hond is working on a strategic development plan for the area.
In the municipality of Pijnacker-Nootdorp, several greenhouse horticulture sites have been earmarked for conversion into residential areas. This development will help to increase the supply of housing to meet the high demand for additional homes in the municipality. In addition to increasing the number of homes, this policy also supports the objective of creating a more attractive business climate.
The district will be developed for a range of target groups, with a focus on creating a distinctive, green and future-proof public space. The aim is to generate a resilient and attractive living environment as the basis for the development of new neighbourhoods.
Our task is to combine landscape, nature and quality of life in an urban area. This neighbourhood will form the transition between the old village centre and the green infrastructure of Midden-Delfland.
A vision of what suits the area
In our vision, public space and green infrastructure play a crucial role in the new neighbourhood. We give landscape and nature a prominent place in our plan, where they will form the most important links between the village and the surrounding area.
Our goal is for Dwarskade Nootdorp to be a neighbourhood with a variety of living environments. We want to create a range of atmospheres and densities to ensure a harmonious connection with the environment. We are also looking at how we can build in a sustainable and distinctive way that adds value to the village.
The aim is to transform the former greenhouse site into an area with a new and distinctive identity, where green and recreational links define the infrastructure. We believe it is essential that the public space contributes to a healthy ecosystem, increased biodiversity, improved environmental quality and climate resilience.
As we continue to develop our vision, we look forward to creating a safe, pleasant and healthy neighbourhood for Dwarskade Nootdorp.
