Housing block at Java squareSince 2006, a renewal operation has been underway in the early twentieth-century neighbourhood Indische Buurt, in which a number of rundown blocks are being demolished or renovated. As part of this renewal, the square at the heart of the neighbourhood, Javaplein, has been revitalized with the construction of Borneohof. The original Borneo block has been demolished in order to make way for larger dwellings and commercial units. In and around the square, space has been created by constructing a two-tier underground parking garage. There are no longer any parking spaces in the square or the surrounding streets. Socio-cultural facilities (including a library and a café) in the ground floor plinth reinforce the squares function as a focal point. |
