A green haven anchoring the space



The Caspar van Wittelplantsoen in Amersfoort emerges as a new urban park. It functions as captivating link, seamlessly connecting the new Soesterkwartier building along Puntenburgerlaan with the existing structures, acting as a lush green meeting point for both long-standing and new residents. Within a relatively small area, the ambition was in creating an abundance of greenery, and this vision takes form through the strategic placement of a multitude of new trees and expansive grassy plains, forming the very foundation of the park.




A playful topography
The park’s enchanting rolling grasslands bestow upon it a natural and intimate ambiance, where a clever interplay with elevation creates a central area that stands out gracefully from its surrounding streets. A well-defined network of paths ensures a seamless east-west connection from the station and Soesterkwartier to Eemcentrum, while also seamlessly linking the surrounding homes on the park side. These diverse pathways meander through the park’s topography, adding an element of intrigue to the overall design.
Water as a symbol of serenity
At the heart of the park lies a captivating shallow water strip that gracefully winds its way between the central housing blocks, forming a series of gently stepped pools. This captivating water feature not only offers a picturesque view but also creates an inviting ambiance for communal living and relaxation. The allure of the water adds a touch of luxury and tranquillity to the park, beautifully reflecting the desired high quality and atmosphere that defines this new green haven.
