2 Meeting place

1 School area This area is the school's new arrival zone and the school must therefore be opened up to the road. A large set of steps creates seating and a landscape that invites play. It is important that the steps are designed to be as comfortable as possible (wood, for example). A drop-off zone for traffic is provided next to them and, if needed, cycle parking facilities can also be created. Lighting may be interactive and can encourage play.

The meeting place becomes a local social area with one or more commercial features. A falafel kiosk might move here or a coffee shop could be built. Lighting has a space-creating effect and can, for example, be inlaid in the paving. The area is given furniture, such as moveable chairs and small tables, to supplement the large steps. Here too, the steps' seating comfort is a factor.

Yard spaces Each of the yard spaces is unique, although they all offer scope for active and passive recreation close to the apartments. The edge zones of the buildings must be activated with private outdoor spaces and the entrances must be lit. In other respects, the furniture, paving, lighting and functions interact to create space and passage through and a clear identity which distinguishes them from other yards.

5 Places for passive recreation Places with particularly good sun should be used for passive recreation. Places for passive recreation are created in all the different degrees of publicness.
