Central to this scheme are fourteen gigantic inhabitable river groynes or 'Kribben' with zones of diverted water between them in the harbour basin of Westkeetshaven in Zwijndrecht. This area on the Oude Maas river is part of the Drechtoevers master plan, which sets out to enhance the identity, resonance and standing of the river bank areas of the so-called Drecht towns (Dordrecht, Zwijndrecht etc). Lying between the former dike of Zwijndrecht and the river, these Kribben contain both a variety of house types and offices. All are accessed over the ridges of the Kribben that feed into the road along the dike (Ringdijk). Via this route one can also take the ferry across the Oude Maas to the historic centre of Dordrecht. Because of this reversed access principle, each house has a view as much of the new creeks in the diverted water zones and the Oude Maas as of the wide horizon of the Kribben landscape. The whole has a regional air to it, while the zoning allows for picking up on the local colour. If the Kribben declare the area between dike and river fit for habitation, the Oude Maas regains its creeks in the diverted water zones. This interweaving of two constantly conflicting and negotiating parties in tireless reciprocal visitation, makes for a doubly enlivened landscape. The asphalt landscape and the zones of water are each other's poché; dissimilar in idea yet linked physically.
