The real estate agent provided this description of our home (in Dutch):
| Oikos is a small town quarter in the east part of Enschede. The town council made the design of Oikos as one of the highlights in the field of Sustainable Building in the Netherlands. The site is selected by the Ministry of Housing as a demonstration project. Main issue is the control of the ground water level. The area is threatened by drying up. For that reason the rainwater is kept on site. Gutters and wadi's collect rainwater. During this process the water can percolate in the ground and the ground water is supplied with fresh water. The wadi's are coloured in blue. The 35 houses designed by BEAR Architecten are coloured in yellow. |
