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.

Thanks to solar panels, heat pumps and thermal-energy storage, the homes will generate more renewable electricity than they consume, making the Spoorzone not just a population centre, but a power centre too.

Team Francine Houben and Armand Paardekooper Overman with Cris Mitry, Kai den Hollander, Rodrigo Louro, Ana Fontainhas, Xian Chen and Paul van den Hof
