Borneo Sporenburg• Average density: 100 dwellings per hectare • Number of dwellings: 2,500 for Borneo Sporenburg / 17,000 for the Eastern Docklands • Client: City of Amsterdam • Designer: masterplan by West 8;• The individual units were designed by international and local architects • Year: 1996‐2000The whole masterplan was divided into a variety of house types, distinctive apartment blocks and the waterfront, adding character at the Borneo Sporenburg housing development and make the neighborhood easy to navigate. West 8 set design codes, a range of criteria, upon which access, parking, private open space, storey height, plot width and building materials would be designed. Plan is divided into low‐rise buildings in three zones and architecturally distinctive high‐rise residential buildings within these zonesThe low‐rise housing structures are arranged into strict branded blocks which are sub‐divided into individual plots, each containing an inside void that comprises 30 to 50 percent of the plot. The idea was to drive daylight deep into the volumes of the houses, making smallish spaces appear larger and taking advantage of the water views, while maintaining privacy. Those dwellings have also a front door onto the street creating a street frontage and its own, exterior space. All private outside spaces as well as parking places are to be found within the plot.
