Quiet living in the Kattenbroek district
Kattenbroek is a district in the city of Amersfoort, in the province of Utrecht. The district built in the early 90s contains approximately 4600 homes. The district was built in the outskirts of the former municipality of Hoogland and named after the farm located just outside the neighborhood. The starting point for the design was to build a non-standard residential area.

Designer Ashok Bhalotra wanted a healthy, safe and cheerful environment, where people feel at home and get itchy to dream. He used themes and metaphors for this, something that was more often used in urban planning from that moment on.

For example, the main structure of the district is characterized by certain geometric shapes, consisting of five elements: The Ring, The Avenue of the Courts, The Hidden Zone, The Mask and The Creek. The Ring is the centrally located circular neighborhood, the size of the historic city center of Amersfoort. Here different themes come together, as well as De Laan der Hoven and De Verborgen Zone. The Laan der Hoven is a road that runs from the northwest to the southeast through the district. The Hidden Zone runs from north to south right through the district, where there are 12 works of art. With a long curved line, the Mask forms the eastern border of the district. The Creek, located in the north of the district, connects the scattered original farms.

In addition to the 5 elements, there are also 5 residential themes: The Closed City, The Fort, The Farm Room, The Bridge Houses and Living at Winter Gardens, 5 landscapes: Water, Pond, Forest, Field and Swamp and 5 urban morphologists: Avenue, Singel, Square, Alley and Street.
