Project tour Den Helder

19-07-2024

With the completion of Hendrik Baskeweg approaching, it was high time to admire this project up close. Combined with a tour of all the other Kokon projects in Den Helder, we kicked off the summer holidays pleasantly, despite the rain.

Hendrik Baskeweg involves the transformation of two dated gallery flats using 3D printed concrete elements. This is the largest 3D concrete printing project in the world, so unique to admire up close. We also visited transformation projects Heiligharn, Baljuwstraat and the most recent project Duinroos.

On our visit to De Schooten, we were able to see the cosy, green courtyards, and talked briefly with residents who told us they are very happy with the communal garden they can enjoy. Neighbourhood connection through communal greenery is one of the hallmarks of Kokon's urban planning projects.
