Angled green roofs reshape urban housing in the Netherlands

In Eindhoven, Netherlands, MVRDV has revolutionized urban housing with the completion of a green-roof residential project named Nieuw Bergen. This development integrates 237 new homes into the historic Bergen district, blending new construction with the renovation of two existing buildings to preserve the area's character. With its angled green roofs, the project not only adds to the city's housing stock but also promotes urban gardening and sustainable building practices, setting a precedent for future urban redevelopment initiatives.
