Project Mooy Westzaan resembles a classic farmyard. The side path consists of private and shared property and is therefore reserved for the residents. This is where they park their cars and where the children play outside. A small neighborhood where everyone has sufficient privacy in their own backyard and can connect with the other residents. Living and growing up with connection and freedom. Building number 04, family house approximately 116 m², plot size approximately 159 m² private land Parking on shared property, south-facing backyard Hidden behind the entrance house, along the side path, lies a block of four family homes. Each has a separate storage unit and ample parking on the shared property. The corner houses even have a parking space on their own property. The building, constructed of natural materials, has the appearance of a barn due to its transverse positioning of the main artery of Westzaan. The resulting space is used in an inventive way. Three stories, with a free-standing space on the second floor. This is where the technical and utility room will be located, accessible via a staircase. The first floor features three bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom. Like the bedroom facing the path, this bathroom has a skylight. The garden-facing bedroom enjoys views of the landscape through its extra-high tilt-and-turn windows, which extend upwards. Downstairs, almost the entire ground floor is used for living. The kitchen/diner, delivered as a shell, overlooks the front garden and is open to the living room overlooking the back garden. Double doors lead out from here to the waterfront. The homes are energy-efficient thanks to the use of modern systems such as heat pumps, heat recovery systems (HRVs), and solar panels. The floors of the ground and first floors provide the heat source, which can be adjusted for each room. Layout: Building number 04 Ground floor: playfully designed entrance through a recessed porch. Hallway with meter cupboard. Tiled toilet with wall-hung toilet and hand basin. L-shaped living space with a kitchen-diner at the front and a living room with an open staircase. Double doors open onto a private back garden. First floor: landing with a staircase to the second floor. Tiled bathroom with a walk-in shower, sink, and a second toilet (wall-hung). Three bedrooms, one with a skylight and two with windows through the gable. Second floor: attic storage spanning the entire width of the house. This utility room houses connections for a heat pump and mechanical ventilation. Connections for a washing machine and dryer will also be installed here. A window through the gable provides natural light. Outdoor space: front garden and private driveway with parking space. Private back garden with a slope leading to a shared water feature. Separate storage shed around the corner. This house is characterized by the use of natural materials. Robust, purpose-grown hardwood, brick, zinc for rainwater drainage, and gutters and roof tiles for a robust appearance. With these materials, Mooy Westzaan further enhances the village's character with its sense of sustainability and history. Because sustainability doesn't just mean energy efficiency; it also means these homes are at the beginning of a long residential history. Westzaan is a village within the municipality of Zaanstad. The village consists of a circular core with short and long ribbon development to the south (Zaandam, Amsterdam), the west (Beverwijk, Haarlem, and Schiphol Airport), and the north (Wormerveer, Alkmaardermeer, and the surrounding area). Drivers have several options for quickly reaching their destinations because Westzaan provides access to the entire national highway network and an even more extensive provincial road network. A fifteen-minute drive will take you to all surrounding towns. In the central core of Westzaan, all daily amenities are available. A primary school, childcare, GP clinic, supermarket and fresh food stores, restaurants, and other family amenities are all readily available. Naturally, sports play an important role in the lives of young and old Westzaan residents. The southern part of Westzaan has its own primary school, childcare, and a modern supermarket. Those looking for a wider range of shopping, cultural, or culinary offerings will find them in one of the municipality's other towns. Cycling is a popular mode of transport in these parts, especially because the journeys, wherever they lead, always pass through beautiful scenery.
