Housing Kop van het Dok, Vlissingen

living at the dock

The former shipyard of the Royal Society De Schelde in Vlissingen is being transformed into a new district; the Scheldt Quarter. After the renovation of the Metal sheet factory, atelier PRO now designs the adjacent Kop van het Dok.

The housing project consists of a plinth of three layers with dwellings and on top three residential towers. Plinth and towers form a whole but are not quite the same. The towers vary in height and house typology.
