ROOTZ

A city extension between the trees

Former tax office Belcanto is part of the redevelopment in Schalkwijk-Midden, an area that will be transformed in the coming years into an attractive, lively and green living and working area.

750 trees will be added to the urban district, closely connecting urban functions with the green landscape to be created. Buildings are the guests and form the background of the forest landscape.

ROOTZ creates urbanity in a tree landscape with a diversity of buildings in which you can live, work and stay. During the transformation of the Belcanto site, maximum efforts are made to develop a sustainable and healthy living environment.
