In the spring of 2020, DS created the landscape vision and the quality plan for the Spaarne Gasthuis site. This is a follow-up to the new construction master plan, the basic program of requirements and the feasibility study, created by SVP architecture and urban development.
The concept for the landscape of the future hospital is ‘Healthy Valley’. The watercourse and the pond are central to the landscape, the buildings are the mountain walls. Five areas are thematized in the landscape design.
The Healthy Valley is a nature-rich valley. This is made concrete in the visual quality plan with regulations for the design of the landscape and the measures in the buildings. The quality plan prescribes appropriate nature-inclusive measures for each area for the theme.
The assignment is also taking place for the benefit of the new zoning plan (and associated rules). Given the COVID circumstances, the planning process was completely digital.
