Loven, currently an industrial area with a cluster of housing in its centre, is characterized by introverted industrial buildings situated on privatized and fenced-off plots. The space between these buildings is predominantly used for storage, parking, or logistics, resulting in inaccessible building blocks. However, by reimagining the spaces between the blocks and the industries, the closed blocks can be unlocked and the space can be transformed into attractive courtyards and new passage-ways.
Loven, currently an
industrial area with a cluster of housing in its centre, is characterized by
introverted industrial buildings situated on privatized and fenced-off plots.
The space between these buildings is predominantly used for storage, parking,
or logistics, resulting in inaccessible building blocks. However, by
reimagining the spaces between the blocks and the industries, the closed blocks
can be unlocked and the space can be transformed into attractive courtyards and
new passage-ways. Each block has a
different identity and different motives for programming. The plan aims to activate
the courtyard and passage-ways with new programme that suites the unique
identities of each block. The transformation will breathe new life into Loven,
making it a vibrant neighbourhood.
