GROUP A

Celebrating the power of variation in design! The new development is made up of 13 distinctive buildings, each carefully designed to break up the scale of the block and harmonize with the surrounding environment. By creating a hierarchy between the buildings, with higher facades receding a dynamic cityscape takes shape. 

The design features a range of building types, from simple, solid forms to more abundant designs, each contributing its own character. The use of materials like brick, natural stone, aluminum, wood, and steel creates a rich, yet cohesive aesthetic across the block. 

To bring this vision to life, worked in collaboration with and , collaborating to create a dynamic yet cohesive environment.

Merwede Utrecht is the result of an inspiring collaboration between Gemeente Utrecht, , , , .eu, , , , , Buro Bouwfysica, VGG Advisors and .

In the serious game Climate Positive M4H, participants gain insights about the means to facilitate climate-positive environments. The game makes tangible how emission, compensation and storage resources (such as nature, building, mobility) relate to each other and what has much, and what has little effect. Great to see how this game triggers discussion about climate-positive environments! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This game is a prototype developed by GROUP A – CARBONLAB and Ludopolis in collaboration with the Keilecollectief.
