De Tuinkamer
Meppel

High-quality landscaped park
The homes in De Tuinkamer are situated within a high-quality landscaped park. The layout of the urban plan is based on the historical structures in villages in Drenthe. In the old days, houses in the village centres were often clustered around a ‘brink’, a central green. But many villages also stretched out along a road, like ribbons on the landscape. These are known as ribbon villages. In ‘De Tuinkamer’ the gardens of the houses also naturally connect to the landscaped park, making the park an extension of the gardens. The plan only features natural property boundaries, such as green hedges. This is how VanWonen realises rural living in Nieuwveense Landen, in partnership with wUrck architectuur, stedenbouw en landschap.

Planning
The plan for De Tuinkamer will be realised in phases. Construction of phase 1 (42 homes) has started. Construction of phase 2 (30 homes) will start after the summer of 2025. 
The handover of the first homes is planned for the second quarter of 2026.
