Ginkgo project combines art, technology and architecture to integrate a housing complex in the nature of the existing park located in front. The project is located near the natural park of Veluwe in the Netherlands with views over an old church and the central park of the small town. The urban structure of Beekbergen, much like most small towns in the Netherlands, is composed mainly of large single family houses that are not affordable for young people or suitable for older people with mobility problems. 'Ginkgo' project explores the possibilities of providing affordable housing for different target groups thanks to its compact housing complex, which is physically and visually integrated in its context. The site is an interesting space located between two zones with very different characters: a green park on one side and an urban, post-war neighbourhood built in the 50's on the other side.
