34 apartments with assisted living services
The apartment complex De Ronding on Burgemeester Meslaan is a residential facility for seniors with care needs. An on-site care unit within the complex ensures that appropriate support can be provided when needed.
The urban design integrates seamlessly with the surrounding residential neighborhood and reinforces the park-like structure of the area, including the existing buildings of the Stichting Zorgcentra Rivierenland care organization. At the rear (south and west sides), the complex features a wide access passage that also serves as a communal area, with a private terrace for each apartment.
curved and serrated facade
Here people can meet each other in an informal way. The typology of the houses matches the curved building structure. The houses are functionally divided into two halves that are shifted in relation to each other. This creates a private terrace on the gallery side and an open corner at the front, giving the residents a spacious view from the living room. The "serrated" facades are repeated on a smaller scale in the form of the facade cladding with profiled steel sheeting, in combination with storey-high windows. The horizontal concrete bands form the continuous line and make the building into a unit.
