The Vossenburglaan was designed as a unified ensemble. To define the characteristics of this ensemble, vector-i studied the most beautiful streets in sluice villages of Groningen and translated these into a palette of architectural elements. This approach resulted in a street designed as a single architectural family. The elegant, steeply pitched roofs in alternating directions, varying eave heights, a meandering building line, base plinths (trasramen), and recessed entrances with distinctive detailing create the diversity we recognize from charming village streets with a richer history. The Tower House plays a crucial role in making the neighborhood recognizable as a village.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block text block--bg-primary text-right width-66  \">\n    <div class=\"inner-container inner-container--wide\">\n\n            <div class=\"text-container\">\n               <div class=\"text tiny-content\"><p>The Tower House is a special \u2018family member\u2019 in the ensemble due to its balance of similarities and differences. The differences stem from the unique desires of the residents, the requirements of the municipality, and the opportunities provided by the building system. The home aligns with the rhythm of the other houses on the street, and architectural features have been applied once again. Thanks to the color of the brickwork, roof tiles, window frames, and the asymmetrical roof, the tower is an integral part of the building and, by extension, the street. The height of the house makes it and the neighborhood visible from afar. The striking red, antique door also draws attention. The tower\u2019s height is accentuated by the color gradient of the bricks, transitioning from white to green. Atop the tower, unlike traditional church towers, a flag flutters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block text-image block--bg-primary landscape  \">\n   <div class=\"inner-container inner-container--wide\">\n      \n      <div class=\"text-image-wrapper text-image-wrapper--text-right\">\n\n         <div class=\"text-container\">\n            <div class=\"tiny-content\">\n                <p class=\"haest-2\">\u201cThe flag at 25 meters height completes the spectacle.

Through close collaboration, a unique building has emerged that aligns with the specific wishes of the residents and the possibilities of the building system. The special layout of the spaces, the generous ceiling height on the ground floor accommodating a grand piano, the unobstructed view from the tower room, the rooftop terrace, the antique front door with brick roll layers, the embedded commemorative stone and house number, the rooftop terrace, and the gradient brickwork are all examples of this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block gallery block--bg-primary\">\n   <div class=\"inner-container inner-container--wide\">\n\n      <div class=\"gallery-container\">\n\n                     <div class=\"single-image-wrapper\">\n               <div class=\"single-image landscape\">\n                  <picture class=\"image landscape\">\n                     <!--<source srcset=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 668px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/> <source srcset=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 668px)\" \/>-->\n                     <source srcset=\"https:\/\/vector-i.nl\/app\/uploads\/rb_image\/6393\/900x-resize-vectori_torenwoning_juli24_019-ronald-zijlstra.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/>\n                     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vector-i.nl\/app\/uploads\/rb_image\/6393\/900x-resize-vectori_torenwoning_juli24_019-ronald-zijlstra.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\n                  <\/picture>\n               <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n                     <div class=\"single-image-wrapper\">\n               <div class=\"single-image landscape\">\n                  <picture class=\"image landscape\">\n                     <!--<source srcset=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 668px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/> <source srcset=\"\" media=\"(max-width: 668px)\" \/>-->\n                     <source srcset=\"https:\/\/vector-i.nl\/app\/uploads\/rb_image\/6393\/900x-resize-vectori_torenwoning_juli24_032-ronald-zijlstra.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/>\n                     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vector-i.nl\/app\/uploads\/rb_image\/6393\/900x-resize-vectori_torenwoning_juli24_032-ronald-zijlstra.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\n                  <\/picture>\n               <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n         \n      <\/div>\n\n   <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block text block--bg-primary text-right width-66  \">\n    <div class=\"inner-container inner-container--wide\">\n\n            <div class=\"text-container\">\n               <div class=\"text tiny-content\"><p class=\"haest-2\">\u201cThe concept of the house is very clear: all utility functions are located in the tower on the intermediate floors, allowing the entrance and the living spaces on the ground floor and first floor to be very spacious, with the lookout room at the top and the rooftop terrace crowning the tower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"haest-2\">\u201cMany elements in the house are remarkable.
