schoonschip executive summary SCHOONSCHIP The Schoonschip project is a prospective floating residential community of 30 houseboats (a total of ~48 households) to be built over the coming two and a half years, where people with diverse incomes can live together with shared values. The group focuses on sustainable living, which is partially achieved through building a strong community. This waterbased site will be built surrounding five piers, each of which will have 5 - 6 buildings, most of which will be shared by multiple households. In between these piers is space for additional program like gardens or a swimming pool. The community will determine what they would like to build and invest in over time, and jointly finance these projects in later phases of construction. STRATEGY AND ACTIVITIES The Schoonschip technological development strategy we have recommended takes place over three phases and must match the financial phasing and communal investment in the overall construction of the site. © 2012 space&matter Above is an artist’s impression of the Schoonschip site once the full plan is completed, which will take an estimated three years from the start of the development. The site design and image were made by architecture firm space&matter. To limit the risk of investment in communal infrastructure such as the piers in between the boats, the Schoonship site will be constructed one pier at a time. Because of this construction pattern, we have also recommended the centralization of certain technological functions on the level of each pier. Some of the recommended technologies in our plan, such as urine separating toilets, are fixed. Others, such as the degree of insulation for each home’s building envelope, are flexible. In the test case described throughout this report, we have used the passive house standard of insulation. However, this is by no means a require18 / 146 Pagina 17
