Maastricht (Sphinx-Zuid) - Unique, modern 2-bedroom apartment (G.O. 84 m²) on the ground floor with views of the historical Andries Chapel and a fine terrace next to the park-like inner garden, sustainably built as part of the newly constructed residential complex 'Les Mouleurs', which was nominated for an architectural prize for rural architecture, delivered in 2020.
Les Mouleurs' is a particularly beautiful residential complex on the outskirts of Maastricht's city center, designed for and collectively commissioned by private clients. The name, chiseled in stone above the entrance, refers to the former mold makers of the porcelain factory that once stood at this location.
THE BUILDING
This unique residential building is part of the Belvedère plan, a large-scale urban development on the north side of Maastricht, adjacent to the characteristic Eiffel building with its Sphinx logo. Within the masterplan by Palmbout Urban Landscapes, the architecture firm Humblé Martens Willems designed this modern residential complex with an underground parking garage and storage facilities.
The main volume consists of three to four living levels which enclose the beautifully green park-like inner garden in an L-shape. A masonry gate in the facade refers to the rich industrial past. The contrast between white concrete and dark brick, combined with French limestone, reflects the local history without copying it literally.
This residential building contains 20 unique, spacious and shallow apartments with plenty of daylight and views from both sides. Instead of galleries, there are porticoes and in-porch loggias, which enhance privacy and architectural coherence. The homes are built sustainably, featuring integrated solar panels, local bricks, high-quality glass, and an energy supply connected to the nearby paper mill. Each apartment was delivered with its own character and layout tailored to the wishes of the clients.
THE OUTDOOR SPACE
Almost hidden from view, the enclosed and not freely accessible park-like inner garden is an oasis of peace within the urban environment. Designed under architectural principles, with dimensions of approximately 75 x 50 meters and featuring various walking paths, seating areas, and delightful cooling vegetation, this area provides space for the residents to relax and meet each other, serving as the heart of the three surrounding residential complexes.
