FRESH
De Caai is located on the former site of the Campina dairy factory in Eindhoven, established in the 1960s as a milk cooperative within the city ring road. The current urban plan by Studioninedots and DELVA reenvisions this area, an example of industrial reconstruction architecture, as a recognizable, accessible, and green live-work area. It includes approximately 700 homes in three lower residential blocks and five towers, plus 20,000 sqm of commercial real estate within the historically valuable factory buildings.
Tower 3, FRESH, holds a central position within the urban plan. It directly connects to the existing heritage due to its position between the Milk Factory and the Ice Factory. The structure is carefully integrated into the site, with a plinth sculpted to adapt to its surroundings. The tower comprises 123 homes, offering beautiful views of the city. The façade’s grid system, milky color palette, and material textures draw directly from the surrounding heritage, providing the new structure with a meaningful place in the new city development.
