Middelsee is a new sustainable neighborhood in Leeuwarden, located just south of the Van Harinxma Canal. The district is set to include 3,200 homes, which are currently under development. The first houses are being built in the areas of Havensted and Wetterstêd. Key themes in the development include energy-efficient living (without natural gas), sustainability, and innovative housing concepts.
Although compact in layout, Middelsee is designed as a green, water-rich neighborhood. To communicate the upcoming changes with the community, the Area Participation Platform was deployed. Through this platform, the planned developments are visualized in an interactive 3D environment. Various types of information are integrated, including animation videos, images, and written content.
In addition to future changes, The Imagineers have also visualized the current and historical situation. This gives visitors an honest and complete view of the developments taking place in and around Middelsee.
