Urban Redevelopment Stationsbuurt
For ten years beginning in 1985 the district between Hollands Spoor station and the Rijswijkseplein traffic intersection was the scene of wholesale urban regeneration. In the first phase, the area between Stationsplein and Hoefkade was revamped to an urban design by Van Herk & De Kleijn and now contains three elongated blocks of housing by Mecanoo and DAK. This ensemble is terminated on the station side by an apartment building by Van Herk & De Kleijn that straddles the three blocks.
