Name winning plan: ZZ 102 / central lake
A central lake replaces part of the network of ditches, parallel to the Van Harinxmakanaal. A main road borders the entire project area. Housing plots are organised around the lake and there is a marina on the smaller northeast end of the lake. Apartment blocks are located between the marina and the lake. The family housing units vary in size, they are shuffled on their plots, with their parking spaces oriented towards the street and on the other side they are adjacent to the lake (to the north) or bordered by a path along the lake (to the south). Public leisure activities are situated on the islands in the lake and attached to it (terraces, green space, picnic places and a sun deck and farming space). The water in the lake is used for cooling and for the grey water circulation in the housing.

Quotation from the jury report Europan 11
Central Lake is interesting because the plots and not the housing form the building blocks of the urban development plan.
