Werf & Erf : Living in Nieuw-Rhijngeest Zuid
Location
Information
The Werf neighbourhood will be developed between the homes of Rhijnhoeve and Nieuw Rhijngeest and the laboratories and research buildings of the Leiden Bio Science Park. The area will include around 500 new homes for sale and for rent, ranging from apartments and waterside houses to penthouses and family homes. A quarter of the homes will be designated as social housing.
The buildings will be carefully integrated into the landscape, with heights stepping down towards the surrounding area. Alongside housing, there will be 2,500 square metres of amenities, including cafés and restaurants, as well as a small marina with space for around 60 sloops. The neighbourhood will have a playful character, with squares and intriguing sightlines between the buildings.
Werf will be surrounded by nature and water. The Binnenrijn runs around the neighbourhood and connects to the Rhine and Park Landskroon. Two distinct living environments will emerge: ‘Werf’ along the water, and ‘Erf’ set among green banks and alongside a meandering park. The new neighbourhood will be car-free, leaving plenty of space for greenery. The main access route will be a broad tree-lined avenue without on-street parking.
