Living between the bulbs
This urban plan – an honorable mention in a 2004 competition for the bulb area in Holland – proposes a balanced symbiosis between the space dedicated to the flower bulb culture and space for housing. Housing areas instead of flower fields! For many people this is an apparition; this plan does this with a certain sense of humour an pragmatism. All plots in the polders between Hillegom and Lisse are being split. One half stays flower and bulb fields, the other half will be built upon. Because of the triangular shape of the plots viewpoints are created from which the blooming fields in spring can be admired. The new buildings types are derived from the building types typical for the area: the bulb sheds.
