Ground-bound residences
The homes along Slachthuislaan have their own garage and access from the semi-underground parking garage.
Raising the ground floor of the home by one meter not only provides extra privacy to the terraces along the street side, but also allows light into the parking garage.
These parking spaces can also, in time, be converted into studios if the need for parking space decreases in the future.
