N361 from Wad to city

N361 from Wad to city Groningen

3 subprojects for on and around the N361 between Groningen and Leens

House of Design has been asked to create an appealing design for three subprojects on and around the N361 between Groningen and Leens. The design must be recognisable and match the surrounding nature and be developed with the involvement of the residents. We tackle this with the designers involved in the Local Manufacturing Site. The province would like to see the vision of the Local Manufacturing Site reflected in the choice of material, working method and image. In doing so, the work must be representative of the heritage of the past and present and provide a glimpse of what is to come. For the aesthetic elements, the Groninger (historical) landscape and the De Ploeg art circle are considered.

Where does it take place
The road N361 from the city of Groningen to Leens. The project consists of three subprojects:
1. Villages Winsum, Adorp and Sauwerd.
2. Cycling route Plus Groningen – Winsum
3. Roundabouts Mensingeweer, Wehe den Hoorn Leens

Contribution House of Design
House of Design is the main contractor and determines the outline and frameworks for the various designs. We involve residents and village interests in the choices and possible implementation.
