Hoog Lindoduin Scheveningen
In the heart of the fishing village Scheveningen, close to The Hague, a 14-floor apartment building was erected in the Sixties with little attention paid to its urban context. Yet the flats are very popular with senior citizens who are attached to the familiar surroundings and splendid view of the harbour.
The design aims to not only renovate the individual apartments, but also to update the elevators and install wind screens on the galleries to make coming home more comfortable.
A residential care centre is situated next to the base of the building to support independent living as long as possible. The new low-rise follows the bend in the adjacent road. After 40 years the apartment building has finally been linked to the urban fabric and contributes to the upgrading of the whole harbour area. A planned restaurant on the top floor will give everyone the opportunity to enjoy the panoramic view.
