The document summarizes a study analyzing the corners of the Cadixwijk district in order to define a morphological solution. It was decided to reinforce the definition of one corner block at the southern entrance to the neighborhood. The design for this corner block features a closed, robust architecture on the ground floor containing a supermarket. The upper floors are more open and transparent, containing housing. Parking is located underground so that the street level maintains the subtle depth seen in dock areas. The design aims to delineate the boundary of Cadixwijk at street level through a strong, closed façade like a rough quay wall, while setting housing spaces above as more open and transparent in character.

study typing corners cadixwijk
Cadixwijk is considered as a whole. The strong characteristic of this district is
the presence of a orthogonal grid
As part of the survey, was conducted studies to define the corner as morpho-
logically solution applied.
The choice was made ​​for an outstanding corner block that defines the south-
ern entrance of the neighborhood, and in de same way restores and regu-
lates chess characteristic of the Cadixwijk.
Program
Block corner
The construction to reinforce the definition and delimitation of the corner
block making use of a closed architecture and robust character, where is the
supermarket.(“ ... on the quay where the boats are anchored.)”
The upper floors, in contrast to what happens on the ground floor, open up
and show transparent. Here lie the houses.
Parking is located in the underground and from the street level, one can ob-
serve the subtle depth level. The same way as happens with the docks.
“...It is as if the quay wall marks the cutoff of Cadixwijk also at the level of the
street. Robustez same closeness of a rough wall... against sets open and
transparent karater of the housing space.”
