The design for the Bergwijkpark is based on the Smart Suburbia plea (2006) by Tom Bergevoet Architecture and Mirck Architecture. Four principles summarize the plea and determined the design process.
- Layered urbanism; building on the history reusing elements and structures.
- Buildings being facilitors; spaces for combinations of all kind of functions.
- Public space participation; design of inside spaces, outside spaces and its interactions.
- Credible identity; context as a useful motive.
