Two former docklands in Amsterdam were redeveloped into residential areas with about 1400 single-family homes built at high density. For the Borneo Sporenburg project, several architects worked with the same typology of an introverted individual house suitable for the plots in the master plan. The houses were slender wall-to-wall structures accessed at street level spread across five sites. The design solution proposed two principal dwelling forms that allowed internal configuration variations and combined front facades, achieving clarity through uniformity while creating a clear separation of interior and exterior spaces with no ambiguous semi-public zones.
