Climate adaptive urban planning

With decades of expertise in seamlessly integrating landscape, climate, greenery, and water into our urban designs, Kokon champions a holistic approach that safeguards our environment while enhancing the livability of urban spaces. Through strategic design interventions that respond to climate challenges, Kokon navigates the intricate balance between human needs and natural ecosystems, resulting in thriving communities that embody resilience, innovation, and harmony with nature. Our climate-adaptive strategies seamlessly align with global sustainability goals, contributing to the creation of cities that prioritize well-being, inclusivity, and environmental stewardship.

Kokon's expertise in climate-adaptive urban planning is exemplified by transformative projects like Aria-South in Goes and Hooghkamer in Voorhout, which seamlessly integrate sustainability with urban design.

In the case of Aria-South in Goes, the vision of creating a village within the city showcased Kokon's integrated and sustainable approach. The project thoughtfully preserved and enhanced green spaces, while incorporating climate interventions for resilience. Notably, the plan considered impending climate changes, such as extreme droughts and rainfalls. The integration of numerous trees, hedges, and shrubs, along with biodiversity-conscious architecture and green outdoor spaces, exemplifies the project's holistic sustainability.

Similarly, Hooghkamer in Voorhout exemplifies Kokon's commitment to sustainability. The Singels neighborhood expansion embraces a green-centric design, emphasizing water presence and embodying true sustainability. Notably, De Wals, a neighborhood within the district, showcases "Plus on the Meter" homes that generate more energy than they consume, making it a beacon of energy efficiency. Other neighborhoods like The Plantation and Sonata also epitomize Kokon's ethos by incorporating greenery and creating a "garden village" ambiance. Hooghkamer serves as a remarkable example of fostering a vibrant living atmosphere through diverse neighborhoods, relaxation spaces, and panoramic vistas.
