Amerberg - Housing development
Amersfoort, NL (completed)
The Amerberg is a small scale high-end development located in a historic villa neighbourhood (protected heritage) in Amersfoort, Netherlands. The original urban plan was conceived using design principles from the English Garden style around 1900 and was an early example of a private area development in the Netherlands. During the 20th century several plots, originally intended for freestanding villas, were instead used by care institutions for large scale facilities. The Amerberg development consists of a reconversion of one of these sites and propeses a return to the original plot division, but this time with a larger diversity of building typologies and reinvigorating the orginal principles for the landscape.
