The apartment block is situated along a monumental curve of one of the main corridors of the city of Utrecht. This corridor links the city center with an old neighbourhood. The inhabitants of this neighbourhood feel separated from the city and it social atmosphere is therefore quite problematic. In this case, can the apartment block have more meaning than just being a stack of houses? Can it establish connections without housing social program? Inspired by the mirrorworks of the artist Robert Smithson we designed a monumental kaleidoscopic facade. The facade dissembles the existing order of the city and generates new combinations.
