Name winning plan: EE 133 - Vrijplaats Beet
The plan distinguishes two "landscapes": the houseboat area and the area of the river Hunze. A scaffolding system is introduced in both areas. This creates a second ground level in the houseboat area. In the Hunze area it forms the basis for the parcelisation. The proposal embraces the free culture that has developed here over the years. There are three housing types: houseboats (the existing houseboats could be replaced by new shells), apartment buildings - "housing sheds", and raised wharf studios.

Quotation from the jury report Europan 09
The architecture - in particular that of the "housing sheds" - is not only well conceived, thanks to its striking appearance it will also appeal to a public that is attracted to the atmosphere of the houseboats. Moreover, the concept is sufficiently flexible to be adapted to the requirements of the client (such as a higher density, or leaving the nuisance zone undeveloped).
