SERVICES LOCATION ALONG THE PROMENADE AND CENTRAL
SQUARE WILL GENERATE LIFE IN PUBLIC SPACES. ALSO RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS WITH ENTRANCES FROM NARROW STREETS UNDER THE ROOF WILL PROVIDE SEMI-PUBLIC SPACES TO SOCIALIZE, ESPECIALY DURRING RAINY DAYS. CENTRE WILL PROVIDE DAILY SERVICES, FARMACY, POST OFFICE, CULTURE AND COMMUNITY HOUSE, RESTAURANTS, CAFES, SHOPS AND CENTRE FOR WATER RECREATION AT THE WEST END OF THE PROMENADE WITH SEPARATED HARBOUR.
CENTRAL AREA HAS TWO FRONTS - ONE FROM THE VILLAGE'S CENTRAL SPACE (ALSO ENTRANCE TO THE AREA) AND FROM THE LAKE SIDE. CENTRAL PUBLIC SQUARE LIES ON THE WATER EDGE, CONNECTED BY WIDE OPENING TO THE ENTRANCE SIDE. BUILDINGS ALONG THE PROMENADE ARE GROUPED IN 3, COVERED WITHONE BIG REED ROOF. THEY HAVE OPEN OR CLOSED COURDS WITH SERVICES ON THE GROUND FLOOR. FRAME-BUILDING BETWEEN THE ROAD AND THE LAKE IS SHAPED LIKE A FRAME, OPEN IN THE MIDDLE WITH VIEW ON THE BEACH AND LAKE. IT CONSIST OF TWO BUILDINGS CONNECTED BY TWO TERRACES UNDER ONE REED ROOF. COMING FROM THE WATERSIDE (ON THE BOAT OR FROM RECREATION TRACKS) WE SEE SKYLINE OF SIMILAR ROOFS, WITH A DOMINANT - WINDMILL, ON THE CENTRAL SQUARE.
CENTRAL AREA IS CREATED ALONG THE LAKE FRONT IN FORM OF PROMENADE, BUT ALSO OPEN AND CONNECTED WITH THE CENTRAL SPACE OF THE VILLAGE Beers (SQUARE IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH). SIMULTANEOUSLY NEW DEVELOPMENTS WILL CREATE A NEW IDENTITY AND LIFESTYLE DIFFERENT FROM THAT EXISTING IN Beers. BALANCE BETWEEN THE NEW AND EXISTING WILL BE SUSTAINED.
NEW CENTRE WILL BE STRONGLY CONNECTED WITH LAKE. WATER WASN'T NATURAL LANDSCAPE AND ELEMENT OF THE IDENTITY IN THAT AREA, BECAUSE THE LAKES WERE CREATE FOR SAND EXCAVATIONS. THE GOAL IS TO CREATE NEW RECOGNIZABLE ARCHITECTURE, BUT ALSO IDENTITY CONNECTED TO THE WATER. WITH SPECIAL CARE ABOUT SHAPING THE LANDSCAPE OF THE WATERFRONT, THAT WILL BE SEAN FROM THE WATERSIDE AS WELL.
CHOSEN MATERIALS : REED ROOFS, WOOD (ON FACADES AND GROUND COVER) GLASS, AREN'T NEW IN THAT AREA, BUT WILL BE USED IN A MODERN WAY (SHAPE OFF THE ROOFS AND GLASSED, OPEN ON LAKE GROUNDFLOORS).
COMMING TO THE CENTRE:
From water:
HARBOUR ALONG THE PROMENADE IS CREATED FOR PEOPLE WHO WILL LIVE THERE AND FOR TOURISTS. ON THE MAIN SQUARE THERE IS A FERRY STOP TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT IN SUMMER TIME THAT WILL BE CONNECTED WITH THE NEW TRAIN STATION IN Cuijk .
By car:
MOST PEOPLE WILL USE CARS, SO PARKING BUILDING IS LOCATED JUST 5 minutes BY WALK TO THE CENTRE. ENTRANCE FOR CARS IS FROM THE MAIN ROAD SO CARS AREN'T COMMING INTO AREA. PEOPLE WHO WANT TO STAY NOT LONGER THAN 15 min CAN USE PARKING PLACES ON THE STREET, NEXT TO THE SHOPPING MALL.
By bike:
PARKING FOR THE BIKES IS LOCATED IN THE MAIN CENTRAL SPACE, BETWEEN THE BEACH AND THE FERRY STOP ON THE RECREATION TRACK.
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT IDEA:
THE AREA HAS GRATE OPPORTUNITY TO USE WATER NOT ONLY FOR RECREATION, BUT ALSO FOR COMMUNICATION. DESIGNED FERRY CONNECTION CAN BE THE FASTEST AND THE EASIEST TRANSPORT BETWEEN NEW TRAIN STATION IN Cuijk AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS NEXT TO THE WATER. IN THE SUMMER IT WILL BE
ALSO TOURISM ATTRACTION. RESIDENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS TO PARKING PLACES FOR BOATS (SOMETIMES ON BACK GARDENS) OR TO HARBOURS ALONG ALL AREA, SO THEY WILL HAVE POSSIBILITY TO USE THEIR BOATS EVERYDAY,
JUST LIKE BIKES. ROADS WON'T COST AT ALL AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT WILL BE SMALLER COMPARING TO CAR USE.
