When do you feel at home in a new neighborhood? When do you know you are home? We believe that this arises when the environment you find yourself in is contemporary and has a high quality of life. A high quality of life is determined by you daily environment and the extent to which it contributes to a healthy lifestyle and interacting with your environment. Four important themes determine this quality of life: the image quality of the environment, vitality, sustainability and connection.
If you walk through Leidsche Rijn Centrum Oost, you will experience the urban vibes through the richly detailed building blocks and the vibrant center. At the same time you experience the peace and quiet that comes from the greenery and the landscape. The quality is achieved by the diversity and coherence between the facades and the detailing, which is sampled from the architecture of Utrecht.
