架构师提供的文本描述。荷兰的许多战后居民区目前正在进行“重组”。鹿特丹附近的卫星城镇Hoogvliet就是其中之一。结构调整过程意味着许多住房单元被现代住宅取代，往往是通过消除战后城市化的典型空间特征，如开放的建筑结构和丰富的绿色植物。VMX的目标是通过当代设计来加强这些现有的品质。

Text description provided by the architects. Many of the post-war neighbourhoods in the Netherlands are currently being ‘restructured’. Hoogvliet, a satellite town near Rotterdam, is one of them. The restructuring process implies many housing blocks are replaced by contemporary ones, often by erasing typical spatial qualities of post war urbanism such as the open building structure and the abundance of greenery. VMX’s goal was to reinforce these existing qualities by a contemporary design.

该计划包括80栋低楼住宅和60套高层公寓，供家庭和老年人在购物中心顶部居住，专员的出发点是，现有的房屋必须被拆除，取而代之的是更好、更大的房屋。然而，房屋数量必须保持不变。在新的规划中，还应该尊重各种成熟树木的位置，建筑物之间的远视线，以及公共绿地的数量。

The plan consists of 80 low-rise houses and 60 high-rise apartments for families and elderly people on top of a shopping centre.  The starting point of the commissioner was that the existing houses had to be demolished and replaced by better and larger houses. However, the number of houses had to remain the same. Also various mature trees at the location, the long sight lines between the buildings, and the amount of public greenery should be respected in the new plan.

VMX深信战后城市化的空间特性，提出了一套以曲折线相连的梯田房屋系统，从而重新创造了战后的品质。该设计结合了停车场在地面，在梯田的房子，与高质量的外部空间，为每个人。此外，蜿蜒的形状确保了与公园的连锁。

Convinced of the spatial qualities of post war urbanism, VMX re-invents post war qualities by proposing a system of strips of terraced houses linked in a meandering line. The design combines car-parking at ground level, under the terraced houses, with high-quality exterior space for everyone. In addition the meandering shape ensures an interlocking with the park.

狭窄的高楼-10层高-放在商店的底座上。这样，宽敞的画廊开放了公寓，同时也起到了豪华的私人户外空间的作用。

The narrow high-rise volume – ten storeys high – is placed on a pedestal of shops. This way generous galleries open up the apartments and at the same time function as luxurious private outdoor spaces. 

在物化上，设计与周围的建筑相协调，同时也散发出一定的财富和乐观，使用绿色和橙色的玻璃、雕刻的石头和穿孔的铝。

In its materialization the design harmonizes with the surrounding architecture and simultaneously radiates a certain wealth and optimism, using green and orange colored glass, carved stone and perforated aluminium.
