Article source: OKRA LANDSCHAPSARCHITECTEN BV Park as a Spatial Anchor The new Park of Caspar Wittelplantsoen in Amersfoort connects the new building of the Soesterkwartier along Puntenburgerlaan with the existing buildings and acts as a green meeting place for both old and new residents. The ambition is, on a relatively small area, to create an abundance of green. This is achieved by placing a large amount of new trees and grassy plains as the basis for the establishment of the park.  Image Courtesy © Annie Beugel

A clear path network provides both a good east-west connection from the station and Soesterkwartier to Eemcentrum, together with a good connection to the surrounding homes on the park side. The different connections are varied and carve through the topography of the park.

The water line gives the appearance of a prime location to live and relax together. Through this element the desired high quality and atmosphere of the new park is reflected.
