It is part of a larger development aimed at a total redevelopment of the Prinsenstichting area, a compound for the care of mentally disabled people. Originally laid out as pavilions in a lush green area, the whole compound proved too expensive to maintain. Therefore the area will be redeveloped as a suburban neighborhood in which the buildings for the Prinsenstichting are to be integrated. In the south west corner of the neighborhood the Green Corner, a daycare center for outdoor activities, is to be last reminiscent of the previously green environment.<\/p>\n<p>The urban planners of the new suburb thought it wise to attach a theme to the neighborhood; the English \u201ccottage style\u201d. Being in the corner of the area, we could deal with this theme by applying rough cottage-like materials (wood, white painted brick and ivy), meanwhile using our own architectural language for the rest of the building.<br \/>\nRather than a pasted-on identity we are interested in the spatial implications of ensuring at the same time both a comforting enclosure, and a relationship with the outside that is as open as possible. Three main spaces were identified, each with their own specific inside-outside relationship. The workshops, whose main function is to provide shelter against the climate, the canteen, that needs a cosy atmosphere, and therefore is more enclosed, using the shape of the roof to create a house-like or barn-like space, and finally the experience garden for the most disabled clients, using both roof and floor to create a shell-like space.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slides.krill.nl\/prm\" class=\"iframekrill cboxElement\"><img src=\"https:\/\/krill.nl\/shows\/prm\/prm-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"prm slideshow\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe green corner is a project for a daycare center in the city of Purmerend.
