New Water, Naaldwijk

New Water (Het Nieuwe Water) will be a benchmark project in Dutch water-management developments. The artificially maintained water level of this former polder, measuring approximately 2,5km by 500m (70ha), will be raised to bosom-level, creating a site that will not only act as a regional contingency water storage area, but also hosts a multitude of water-related developments including 1200 dwellings. The first project of the New Water will be the apartmentcomplex Citadel. Ecological, recreational and residential demands are integrated into a landscape that is organized into different thematic compartments , each offering a specific experience of the water, specific building typologies, and a range of different ecological habitats, in the ecological zone there will be the stilthouses they are free from the floor so they don't effect the zone. Construction will start in 2009. Website client: www.onwbv.nl
