Scandinavian living in Arnhem? At the Bolderbuurt in Schuytgraaf it will be possible soon. The realization of the houses has already started. At MR. STIR we developed an urban plan which is based on the Swedish word “lagom”, which can be translated as “in balance” or “perfect-simple”. The plan has a very clear and simple spatial design of housing blocks which are all orientated on the surrounding landscape. To provide a living for all ages we introduced a well-balanced housing program. Important for the success of the plan is the natural and green appearance (with a subtle Scandinavian touch) of the houses as well as the public space. This all together makes that the urban plan can be called “lagom”, or exactly as it should be.
