A combination of greenhouses, homes, water storage and ecology. The houses are clustered on higher ground and are connected by raised infrastructure. The areas in between can be used as additional space for water storage. During so-called ‘Westlandbuien’ (storms in the Westland region), these areas can flood without their functioning, safety and liveability being adversely affected. In emergencies, the lower areas in the residential strips can also temporarily buffer part of the emergency discharge from the greenhouse areas.
