River Park continues its development with new alleys of single-family homes while maintaining its central principle of integrating the natural environment into the overall residential concept. The development is being completed in stages. Phase 1 includes 110 houses, which are already completed and occupied, while construction of Phase 2 began in 2024 with Alley 5, Phase 2.1, comprising 42 homes. Completion is expected in 2026.
The next stage, Phase 2.2, includes Alleys 6 and 7 together with a large green recreational zone. The area brings together landscaped park spaces, recreation areas, and play spaces for younger residents and is conceived as the heart of the development. The two new alleys add a total of 88 single-family homes, extending the existing structure and creating a greener, more developed residential environment.
Phase 2 builds on the first stage while introducing a more varied architectural character through an expanded palette of facade colors. The rhythm of darker and lighter tones within River Park's characteristic facade treatment creates greater visual diversity across the development. With a broad range of housing types, Phase 2.2 provides flexibility for different residential needs. In addition to terraced houses, semi-detached houses, and homes with basements, the project introduces a new typology for the first time: terraced houses with basements and direct access to the recreational zone.
The architectural concept developed by IPA - Architecture and more responds to the existing characteristics of the site, allowing the architecture to become a natural extension of the terrain. In this way, the development not only responds to its surroundings but also strengthens the relationship between architecture, nature, and everyday residential life.
Integration with the natural environment remains a central principle of the design approach. Priority is given to preserving open and landscaped areas rather than maximizing building density. As in the previous stages, the objective is to create a complete residential environment that extends beyond the boundaries of the individual home.
Each house has a private garden, while the spaces between the homes are designed as accessible landscaped areas connecting different parts of the development. Building spacing, orientation, and scale follow the principles of low-density development and a human-scaled residential environment.
The alleys follow the natural form of the terrain and incorporate terraced areas, generous pedestrian zones, and steps where required. This approach reflects the broader work of IPA - Architecture and more in urban design, where buildings, pedestrian connections, landscape, and open space are developed as an integrated system.
Particular attention is given to the relationship between the residential alleys and park areas, as well as to the selection of plant species that support the local microclimate and strengthen the natural character of the development. The alleys provide direct access to playgrounds, outdoor fitness areas, sports facilities, and spaces for recreation.
Landscaped strips between the houses, along the alleys, and around entrances form part of an overall concept without high fences, creating a gradual transition between private and shared space. Nature remains visible and accessible to residents while maintaining a clear sense of privacy.
A rainwater collection system provides irrigation for the landscaped areas and supports a balanced relationship between residential use and the natural environment.
River Park Phase 2.2 develops the idea of a residential environment in which architecture, nature, and social functions form a balanced whole.
