When settling into your new Common Ground home, you will experience the tranquility of a nature inclusive environment. What does this actually mean for you?

01

Green Roofs and Facades: 
a Sedum roof helps prevent the apartments from overheating. Green facades provide shade during summer and create nesting spots for birds and insects.

02

Water Management: 
The Dutch invented wadi system cleverly collects and purifies rainwater, which it then allows to seep into the ground, ensuring optimal watering for the courtyard plants and trees. With modern control technology, these boxes empty into the car park wadi before heavy rainfall. Wadi is the Dutch acronym for water, drainage, discharge, and infiltration. It helps prevent flooding and keeps groundwater levels stable during dry periods.

03

Biodiversity: 
A variety of trees and plants in the natural play areas provide nesting opportunities, encourage biodiversity and support local flora and fauna.

04

Public Green Spaces: 
Residents can relax, garden, play and gather in the communal courtyard garden - a tranquil, shared outdoor space.

05

Sustainable Building: 
We minimise the impact on nature by using environmentally friendly materials and methods such as sustainable wood and recycled materials.

The project uses eco-friendly building materials, energy-saving designs and technology, and places a strong emphasis on integrating greenery and nature making it both environmentally and socially sustainable.

What are the advantages of buying a new build home? 

Newly built homes offer modern construction and insulation standards, greater energy efficiency, lower maintenance costs and the chance to customise your living space to your own preferences. Plus, you benefit from warranties that cover both the construction and the installations.

When is the expected completion of the homes?

What about the warranty and construction quality in a newly built home? 

Most new build homes come with a warranty from the construction company, often around 10 years for the structure and 2 years for installations and finishes. This gives buyers peace of mind regarding build quality and covers potential defects.

A GPR score of 8.6 - what exactly does this mean?

“GPR” stands for Gemeentelijke Praktijk Richtlijn. It is a system that assesses the sustainability and quality in buildings and neighborhoods based on several factors:

    • Energy: Efficiency and use of sustainable energy sources.
    • Environment: Environmental impact, including waste management and material use.
    • Health: Impact on residents’ health, such as air quality and noise.
    • Usability:  Functionality and comfort for residents.
    • Future Value: Flexibility and lifespan of the building.

Application: 
A building’s GPR score is determined by assessing and scoring these elements. Developers and councils use it to guide decisions on designing, constructing, and renovating buildings and neighborhoods.

Why is the GPR score important?

    • Sustainability: Encourages development of sustainable buildings and neighborhoods.
    • Livability: Ensures a higher quality of living for residents.
    • Transparency: Provides a clear way to evaluate and compare building performance.
