The urban plan drawn up by Studioninedots and Karres en Brands was designed on the basis of ten principles that highlight the themes of health, nature-inclusive design and traffic-free space. The publicly accessible central park, featuring bioswales and wild nature, flows between the buildings so that everybody lives beside the park. The urban layout consists of a variety of volumes of different sizes set in greenery that is made up of a sequence of public spaces: the landscape park, the urban passage and semi-public patios in the various building blocks. The rotated urban structure follows the original layout of the former Nibb-it complex.

The positioning of Building 3.3 aligns seamlessly with the distinctive orthogonal position of the former Nibb-it factory. The bulky building stands in the middle of the park, where the public network of footpaths and cycle paths around and through the building creates the best possible connections with the surroundings. The plinth, with ground-access apartments, bike sheds, entrances and the internal street along the patio, enhances the social and spatial unity of the area.

The rational building with a grid structure blends harmoniously with the urban typology and industrial character of the site. The rational layout of the building contrasts with the landscape and the informal social connections in and around the building. The informal public and landscaped route extends from the expressively designed entrances through the building and connects it and the patio with its surroundings. The building shares with Building 3.2 an underground car park, which has its entrance in Building 3.3. The shared bike shed is visible and transparently positioned at the tip of the building as part of the main entrance. The duplex dwellings and ground-access apartments connect via their private terraces with the public landscape. All apartments on the upper levels contain spacious balconies with wide views of the park.

The green patio in the heart of the building contributes to the residential community in Blossem 3.3 and creates social cohesion and liveliness within the building. Residents encounter one another all year round in the shared outdoor spaces that feature a large number of mature trees. The park also provides cooling on hot summer days. Vegetation can grow up the steel mesh on all seven levels. The collective geothermal energy system and rooftop solar panels ensure a sustainable energy concept.
