In 2013, the municipality of Ede held a competition regarding the development of the former car park of the ‘Theater’, in the name of ‘Valley Center West’. We set out to work on this, on the basis of a very complex invitation that requested a prominent place for cheap rented houses and the expansion of the health care institution ‘De Gelderhorst’. Ingenious won the competition because of a creative, highly urban response to the invitation.
Only a few years later this could be established, due to a very complex file. This subarea is vibrant and is a mixture of 24 cheap rented houses, 43 apartments and an office space for ‘De Gelderhorst’, a Shabu Shabu Experience restaurant, a restaurant called ‘De Beren’, and a P1 car park with about 125 paid parking spaces.
