Platform on new construction, renovation, restoration and transformation
The Kop Handelskade is a unique new construction project, giving Deventer's city campus a surprising upgrade. Architectural firm De Zwarte Hond designed three buildings with space for hospitality, offices and a diverse mix of housing. There will be a total of 88 student housing units, 76 social housing units and 43 luxury owner-occupied apartments and penthouses with phenomenal views of the Deventer skyline.
The owner-occupied apartments and student housing have been designated as noise-sensitive objects. Research shows that the limit value of 53 dB is exceeded at the building facades. Both by road traffic, rail traffic and industrial noise, making noise reduction measures necessary. The Silent Air façade screens of Mview+ offer an excellent and aesthetic solution.
The Silent Air Facade Screens at De Kop Handelskade will be applied to the student residences, which will be in building De Linie. “Because of the small size of these two-bedroom houses, an outdoor space was not mandatory,” says Waldo Duin, director of Mview+. “But of course the dwellings must be able to be ventilated and sprinkled. Without noise pollution. To make this possible, we were commissioned by Nijhuis Bouw to install our Silent Air Facade Screens in front of the windows of the student residences. Thanks to these screens, the ‘deaf’ facade line is shifted and the students can live, study and sleep peacefully, without sacrificing sufficient ventilation and spouting capacity.”
When the distance from a noise source doubles, the noise intensity halves. “The higher you live, the lower the noise pollution,” Duin illustrates. “For this reason, Silent Air Facade Screens were applied only to the bottom four floors of student housing. Above this, in fact, the noise levels remained within the Bbl standard and no additional measures were required.”
Mview+“s Silent Air Facade Screens were initially developed for transformation projects where the noise challenges are great and building options are limited. ”The Silent Air Façade Screens can be mounted on the façade very simply in front of the existing and to-be-opened windows, with the sound-absorbing wings in a variety of colors creating a special façade dynamic,“ says Duin. Meanwhile, however, the facade screens are also eagerly finding new construction projects, in which they can be very subtly integrated into the facade design. ”In De Kop, we were brought to the table at an early stage to help think about this."
