Dordrecht, a city in the Dutch province of South Holland, is aiming to be energy-neutral by 2050, yet the region continues to grow. For the Spoorzone — a planned community of 6,000 dwellings — Delft-based firm Mecanoo envisioned a high-density, low-impact community with elegant multi-family residences made predominantly of wood, the most sustainable material going.
