Garden homes (village) (Building number 01)

The garden homes are wonderfully sheltered and have a living area ranging from 73 to 100 m2. These ground floor apartments have spacious west-facing terraces and also offer direct access to the green inner garden. Perfect for those who enjoy outdoor space, tranquility, and a home that uses the garden as an extension of the living room.

With understated elegance, Dana Dock rises on the Sluisplateau in Wemeldinge. Here, stone, glass, and refined lines come together in a design that effortlessly blends into the surroundings while simultaneously forming a striking new landmark. Inspired by the charm of the village and the power of the Eastern Scheldt, the building exudes peace, balance, and refinement.

Designed by experienced architects and realized with attention to detail, every element testifies to craftsmanship and sustainability. From the carefully selected materials to the harmonious facade rhythm – everything contributes to a residential complex that not only offers comfort but also beauty and long-term value. Dana Dock stands for quality that withstands the test of time.

The design for DANA DOCK in Wemeldinge by Kort Geytenbeek Architecten adds a contemporary living quality to the southern side of the former lock complex, now used as a marina. The location has a distinct maritime character, to which the architecture carefully adapts. The apartment complex is set up in a U-shape, creating a sheltered inner world that contrasts with the more formal appearance of the exterior.

The facades on the outside are constructed from brick volumes, neatly arranged and interrupted by horizontal concrete bands and balcony floors. This gives the building a clear rhythm and a businesslike, representative appearance towards the harbor. Dark brown frames and facade finishes emphasize the open character of the apartments and create a contemporary look.

The top floor is designed and executed in a recessed manner and in a different brick color. This setback reinforces the horizontal image and creates space for spacious terraces with panoramic views over water and the surrounding area, which is enhanced by the glass balustrades.

The interior of the ensemble is consciously designed in a more informal way. Here, a more human scale has been chosen, with galleries that vary in width and thus create a lively image. At these galleries, protrusions are located at strategic locations, providing extra dynamics and playfulness in the facade image. The materialization supports this approach: lighter brick on the lower floors and a mottled beige brick for the top floor create layering and nuance.
