East8

Located in the quiet streets of Oud Beijerland, a small village in the eastern Netherlands, this residential development blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Respecting the traditional small scale architecture and close-knit urban fabric of the village, the design uses varied material types to add texture and visual interest to the façade.

The mix of color tones reflects the village’s historic palette, while subtle changes in the building’s form evoke the character of small houses. This approach ensures the development integrates with its surroundings while optimizing space.

The project demonstrates how modern architecture can be embedded in a village’s character, adding a new dimension to Oud Beijerland’s streetscape and offering comfortable, light-filled living spaces with roof terraces and gardens.
