KCAP建筑与规划事务所与Barcode建筑事务所和Lodewijk Baljon景观事务所共同为荷兰奈梅亨诺德的堤坝区设计了De Waalhoven城市愿景。该团队与开发商VanWonen和BPD合作，在奈梅亨市政府的招标中设计了中标方案。该设计实现了该市对瓦尔河沿岸可持续住宅区的平衡嵌入的雄心。

KCAP Architects&Planners with Barcode Architects and Lodewijk Baljon landschapsarchitecten have created the urban vision De Waalhoven for the dike zone in Nijmegen Noord, The Netherlands.In consortium with the developers VanWonen and BPD, the team designed the winning proposal in a tender called for by the municipality of Nijmegen. The design fulfills the city's ambitions for a balanced embedding of a sustainable residential area along the River Waal.

De Waalhoven是奈梅亨在社区建设原则的基础上创造一个新的住宅区的大规模机会。设计团队开发了一个基于城市规划、景观设计和建筑的综合方法的城市区域，并特别关注自然环境。约570所房屋的城市愿景回应了独特的堤坝和河流景观，郊区De Waalsprong的发展，以及奈梅亨的历史。正如项目名称中所说的那样（荷兰语中Waalhoven的意思是Waal的庭院），集体庭院建筑的类型是设计的一个重要品质。

De Waalhoven is a large-scale opportunity for Nijmegen to create a new residential area based on community building principles. The design team developed an urban quarter built upon an integrated approach to urban planning, landscape design and architecture with particular attention to the natural environment. The urban vision for around 570 houses responds to the unique dike and fluvial landscape, the development of the suburb De Waalsprong, and the history of Nijmegen. As stated in the name of the project itself (Waalhoven in Dutch means the Waal’s courtyards), the typology of the collective courtyard building is an essential quality of the design.

Waalsprong是位于Nijmegen Noord郊区的一个城市发展项目，是对该市住房短缺的回应。新社区De Waalhoven将在河流景观和Waalsprong区之间创造一个可持续的过渡。它在建筑上连接了城市本身，但也连接了当地较小规模的建筑，使一个新的高辨识度的规划。KCAP的建筑师兼合伙人Edward Schuurmans解释说："堤坝区的开发是一个在多功能景观中设计生活环境的机会，它包含了一种新的集体形式"。De Waalhoven是根据循环经济和促进健康生活方式的原则，设计成一个无车、不受气候影响的区域。因此，该区可以灵活应对未来的发展。

The Waalsprong, an urban development at the outskirts of Nijmegen Noord, is a response to the shortage of housing in the city. The new neighborhood De Waalhoven will create a sustainable transition between the river landscape and the Waalsprong district. It connects architecturally to the city itself but also the smaller scale of local buildings, making a new highly recognizable plan. “The development of the dike zone is an opportunity to design a living environment in a multifunctional landscape that embraces a new form of collectivity”, explains Edward Schuurmans, architect and partner of KCAP.De Waalhoven is designed as a car-free and climate-proof district, based on the principles of the circular economy and promoting a healthy lifestyle. As such, the district is ready to respond flexibly to future developments.

场地的前身是一个带有果园的旧农场，与水相关的基础设施成为新开发的重要元素。庭院群落被安置在小山丘上，暗示着梯田的存在，这是一种在洪水线以上建造居住区的人工标高。同时，梯田式联排别墅直接建在扩大和修改后的堤坝轮廓上，俯瞰河流。由于场地的水平差，可以为所有用户创造一个多样化的、生动的景观，有菜园、温室以及儿童游乐场。20栋谷仓式的家庭住宅与该地区以前的乡村目的有着强烈的相似性。景观建筑师Lodewijk Baljon说："集中的建筑群、庭院，为景观留下了空间，以表达环境的特征：视觉上和生态上"。

The lands former use as an old farm with orchards, and water-related infrastructure become essential elements for the new development. The courtyard clusters are positioned on small hills that hint to the terp, an artificial elevation to build a settlement above the floodwater line. At the same time, terraced townhouses are directly built on the enlarged and modified dike profile overlooking the river. The level difference of the site allows the creation of a diverse and lively landscape for all users, with vegetable gardens, greenhouses as well as playgrounds for children. Twenty barn-like family houses bear a strong resemblance to the former rural purpose of the area. “The concentrated building complexes, the courtyards, leave room for the landscape to express the character of the context: visually and ecology wise”, says landscape architect Lodewijk Baljon.

尺寸、空间布局和De Waalhoven的建筑类型都以景观为出发点。在瓦尔北部的Oversteek桥附近，城市建筑装载了运动和娱乐的公共空间，还有一个滑板公园，形成了一个欢迎的入口，是这个城市的名片。高低错落的塔楼体量与全方位设计的复杂性，与市中心和景观的不同层次的规模相联系。与环境的关系通过贯穿外立面基座的绿色植物得到强调。木质元素和沿着整个正面的植被的实施提供了一个高质量的、可持续的建筑。

Dimensions, spatial layout, and the typology of the architecture of De Waalhoven embrace the landscape as a starting point. Near the Oversteek bridge on the northern side of the Waal, the urban architecture loaded with communal spaces for sports and recreation with a skate park form a welcoming entrance, a calling card for the city. The complexity in height difference of the ensemble of the tower volumes with their all-sided design connects with the different levels of scale in the city centre and the landscape. The relationship with the context is emphasized by greenery running through the plinth in the facade. Wooden elements and the implementation of vegetation along the entire front provide a high-quality, sustainable construction.

低层建筑围合了集体的绿色内院，作为建筑的自然之肺。内部住宅与庭院有着直接的关系，这有助于促进居民之间的社会互动。"通过连贯的城市结构，该设计使奈梅亨北侧的景观特征与历史悠久的城市中心之间建立了联系。城市与自然的结合，加上河流周围提供的独特体验，在瓦尔河前滩创造了一种新的生活体验，"Barcode Architects的合伙人Dirk Peters说。

The low-rise buildings enclose the collective green inner courtyards that function as the building's natural lungs. The inner dwellings have a direct relationship with the courtyard, which help foster social interaction between residents. "With a coherent urban structure, the design makes the connection between the landscape character of the northside of Nijmegen and the historic city centre. City and nature, in combination with the unique experience that the river surrounding offers, creates a new living experience in the foreshore of the River Waal," says Dirk Peters, partner of Barcode Architects.

受开发商联盟VanWonen和BPD的委托，KCAP开发了整体城市设计和大部分建筑。Barcode Architects负责规划中多个标志性的塔楼组合。Lodewijk 景观设计事务所设计了景观规划。奈梅亨市政府在欧洲招标程序中授予联合体方案一等奖，并在2020年12月18日与VanWonen/BPD签署协议。De Waalhoven的建设预计将在2023年初开始。整个计划的开发大约需要5年时间。

Commissioned by developer consortium VanWonen and BPD, KCAP has developed the overall urban design and a large part of the architecture. Barcode Architects is responsible for multiple iconic tower ensembles within the plan. Lodewijk Baljon landschapsarchitecten designed the landscape plan. The municipality of Nijmegen has awarded the consortium’s proposal first prize in the European tender procedure and has signed an agreement with VanWonen/BPD on December 18th, 2020. Construction of De Waalhoven is expected to start in the beginning of 2023. The entire development of the plan will take approximately five years.
