Healthy elderly living on the Coal Yard

On the Coal Yard, at ‘s Gravenweg 59 at Nieuwerkerk aan de IJssel, we have developed a housing concept for the elderly, in collaboration with JADE Architects. The location retains a rural character where the elderly remain active and healthy. The decor of the former farm forms the new living environment for the elderly who like to remain active and share with others, but also like to retreat to their own home or garden. Living in a community with the necessary privacy. Not a superfluous luxury in the current time.

The Coal Yard is a housing project for active people over sixty. The emphasis is on sustainable living in independent semi-detached houses around a yard where use can be made of a community center and the agricultural land behind the houses can be used for recreational and educational purposes.

See the Coal Yard website (in Dutch) for more information about the project.
