Why | To develop a comprehensive and integrated cluster around a coming station
What | Multi-analyse + vision + scenarios + visualisations
Where | Zoetermeer, the Netherlands
With | ABL2
Who | For cities Bleiswijk en Zoetermeer

Bleizo is meant to be planned as an area where mobility facilities and real estate develop in the same time and in function of each other. It is a new way to do.

Bleizo area is in between two cities: Zoetermeer, a modern city known for its IT companies and Bleiswijk, a small city welcoming lots of greenhouses and businesses related. The goal was to find a concept that would match on the one hand with all the expectations of the stakeholders and on the other hand the physical site and the market.

RIJNLANDROUTE, Integrated Way and Park

Why | To unblock a project by showing to citizens the new infrastructure can also be positive
What | Multi-analyze + vision + strategies + masterplan + concepts
Where | Leiden, the Netherlands
With | ABL2

Rijnland way is planned to unclog the western part of Leiden. It is running through fields and residential areas. Many residents are concerned and against the project. How to create a WIN-WIN situation?

Three design principles:
1. An easy and smooth way for an efficient flow (from A to B)
2. A route that creates qualitative places for residents and upgrades the environment.
3. A beautiful route that also creates financial value.

We have developed a vision to create added value instead of negative effects: “A continuous scenic route through the Rijnlandse (Rhenish) landscape that is a base and a connection to/for recreational activities for residents.”

The highway tuns into a park with numerous leisure facilities, walkways, cycling routes, beautiful landmarks and connections to the nearby rural and aquatic landscapes.

AVIOLANDA, Aeronautic Cluster

Why | To convert a part of a military zone by creating a thematic cluster
What | Multi-analyse + process development + vision + scenarios + masterplan + visualisations
Where | Woensdrecht, the Netherlands
With | ABL2 + TCN Property Projects

In the Region West-Brabant, an idea was born: Making West-Brabant the most competitive region of Europe specialized in maintenance “The Maintenance Valley” and create at the same time sustainable jobs and businesses. Local actors  already have the network, The World Class Maintenance but no physical project is out of the ground yet. In 2008 it has  been decided to launch a competition for the very first project that will be the motor of the Maintenance Valley: The Aviolanda Aviation Park, an old industrial and military park with a little airport.

Together with TCN Property Projects, we analyzed integrally the area, the stakeholders and the market. We build a common vision and decided about the strategies (marketing, management, spatial qualities). We chose a program together and made the ideas spatially concrete. We found solutions about how to mix private and military activities, and how to mix people, trucks and planes traffic while enhancing the experience of the place.
