Peter Pichler unveils figure-of-eight-shaped housing complex with rooftop running track
A rooftop running track will connect the two towers of this housing complex, designed by Milan-based Peter Pichler Architecture for a Dutch town.
Peter Pichler's firm won an international competition with its design for the Looping Towers. The figure-of-eight-shaped scheme will be built in Maarssen, Utrecht, on a plot facing the Vecht river.
Measuring 35,000 square metres in total, the scheme will include 260 apartments, set within two L-shaped towers at opposite corners of the site.
This layout creates open spaces at the centre of the site, and also leaves space for the running track, which will top a low-rise structure that connects the two towers. Because of the figure-of-eight shape, this track extends through part of the building.
As well as the track, there will also be a swimming pool on top of the western tower.
The central opening will give residents clear views to the river on the northern side of the site, while also allowing plenty of light into the building from the south. Similarly, the sloped sides of the block will also help to give each home enough natural light.
