When city ordinances restrict your building design so that it seems impossible to satisfy the occupancy requirements on such a small site, what do you do? Just cantilever over the required parking spaces, and while you are at it change up the materials and colored glass to really make it look funky.
That's what MRDV did in this 1997 housing complex for the elderly. The surrounding city context determined the size and shape of the cantilevered units, which simply inverted the building's juxtoposed metal/glazing and wood siding exterior. The south side's units assume their own character through size and shape of windows, smaller but more prevalent.
This famous design gives a much more green and open image to the Netherlands through practical, creative solutions.
