Competition for homes for the elderly in Loenen aan de Vecht (1976) H.F. Mertens Jr.
Pensioners' homes in the village
In the 1970s homes for the elderly were built not only in inner-city areas but also in small villages. In 1976 a competition was held to design housing for pensioners in Loenen aan de Vecht. This design by H.F. Mertens Jr. is adapted to the existing, historical streetscape. The modest cluster of eight homes creates a small community of residents who wish to spend their final years in a quiet village.
