MAD JOHANNESMOEHRLEIN architekten designed an 38 apartments building for Housing Corporation De Huismeesters, at the Rivierenhof / Hoornse Deep Oostzijde in Groningen, a project for the house-exhibition ‘De Intense Stad’ (The Intense City). By demolishing a former school building, it was possible, to finish the building block Hoornse Deep / Rivierenhof, as considered in the original masterplan by H.P. Berlage & Schut.
The project consists of a high en lower wing. The high wing of 6 floors buffers traffic sound to the neighborhoud and offers a fantastic panorama over the western part of the city, the Emmaviaduct and the water of the ‘Hoornse Deep’. The low wing accommodates 16 apartments and a large common space for a chinese elder association.
