Het Goed Apeldoorn
Apeldoorn
Build on the edge of Zuiderpark, the largest park
of the post-war district Apeldoorn-zuid, this
building is part of a larger centre of community
facilities. It is the focus of a major urban and
social renewal program for the whole district.
GOED stands for: “Gezondheid Onder Een dak”
which means “healthcare under one roof”. The
program is however much broader and consist of
a health centre (general physicians,
physiotherapists, dentals, pharmacy etc), nursing
point, social services, fitness, elderly day-care
centre, nursing home for psycho-geriatric patients
and 36 apartments.
The building itself is divided in two main U-form
blocks. The U-form floor plans (which alternate
their position every floor) create openings
between the park and the green inner courtyards.
The block’s facades are made of elegant
brickwork with aluminium accents.
