Putstraat garden

The cramped Putstraat becomes a parklike passage between the Nieuwstraat and the forest behind the plot. The 38 new houses perfectly match the surrounding fabric and building height and at the same time minimize the need for elevators. The result is a compact series of urban villa’s consisting of different housing types. The all sided oriented volumes with set back private terraces make for a lively image.

The building on the Nieuwstraat has its own appearance and is set back in a garden. The green break gives some breathing space to the street in front.

By solving most of the parking underground there is space for a car free public space with lots of space for green and to meet.

Maria Cànoves i Garcia

Maria always liked arts and crafts but was also interested in the physical aspect of things. Therefore, she decided to study architecture, which was a good combination of both her interests. Although she studied in Valencia, her professional experience was mainly in Belgium. In 2010 she started working in Antwerp as an intern for Open Architecten through the Leonardo Da Vinci European program. There she met Rik De Vooght and together they started Rik De Vooght Architecten. Maria has not only been an architect for RDVA but also an office manager, making what the office of Antwerp is nowadays. In her free time she is busy with her son, with ceramics and with plants.
