Exclusive living at De Groene Grens
A harmonious living environment
Balkon Zuid offers an exclusive living experience in the heart of a beautiful nature reserve. This neighbourhood forms a seamless transition between the urban development of Veenendaal-Oost and the tranquil landscape of De Groene Grens. Residents here enjoy the serene natural surroundings, with low housing density, natural footpaths and various water features. The phased development of the area ensures that the construction of exclusive plots and streets proceeds harmoniously.
NCB stones: a sustainable paving solution
Permeable paving for a green character
In this exclusive residential area, a conscious choice has been made for climate-adaptive paving using NCB stones, types 1 and 2: a future-proof choice that blends seamlessly with the green character of the surroundings. Thanks to their open structure (40% for Type 1 and 17% for Type 2), these stones allow water to infiltrate and grass to grow between the joints. This contributes to the natural drainage of rainwater, reduces flooding and promotes the growth of grass and other plants between the stones.
Functional and aesthetic
The choice of NCB Type 1 and Type 2 paving stones reflects the balance between functionality and aesthetics in Balkon Zuid. The paving is not only practical and durable, but also visually appealing. The stones blend perfectly with the area’s natural character, whilst at the same time providing a sturdy and reliable infrastructure.
