Anton & Gerard as an urban housing project are based on the conservation and protection of the architectural heritage of the site, the housing block takes another level in this two buildings improving the social life and the quality of architecture for the future community of the neighborhood. t the preservation of the memory of the site is not just a physical element , but it becomes in a remembrance of the history of the former Industry environment using the lightning as a theme to reflect it in the inside area of the buildings through the voids, the patios and the staircases.t As part of a complex urban system, the Strijp S, Anton & Gerard are the outcome of adaptative reuse strategies for the exsiting industrial structures, developing new programs in the ground floor of the buildings in close relationship with the urban context and the community building elements.

This housing project is the natural evolution and transition of the reuse of existing post industrial sites in the city and the perfect integration between the architecture and the urban renovation of the Strijp S as part of the next Eindhoven.t
