For the city of Weesp a plan has been developed for a number of big shops in the historic center. This old center has a fine-grained structure and a small-scaled variety of buildings. Because of its structure, it is hard to fit big shops in the area even though these shops are also welcome to open up there.

The urban design made it possible to open relatively big shops and place parking facilities by the Achtergracht. The entrance to these parking spots were situated on one of the emergency access points to the center, which didn’t disturb the Achtergracht. The architecture has ignored the scale and detail drawings that completely match the old building structure. Also the materialization with the brick and hardstone appearance have been adapted to the characteristics of the city of Weesp.
