6. Drawings 1. Introduetion This graduation project deals with the topic of a new accommodation facility for tourists in South Limburg. The region is mostly filled with old-fashioned small hotels that are transformed from previous residential housing, vacation apartments transformed from farmhouses, and camping sites. In this project I want to search for a new design approach that is contemporary, but also fits within the local atmosphere.
For this design 3 ideas are very important. Firstly, the existing hotel and vacation apartments' typologies in this region are carefully studled and applied to the design in order to bring a local feeling. Secondly, local material, wood and mergel (a type of marl unique to the area of South Limburg), are chosen as building matenals for different parts in the design. Also the way they are either a structural element or attached to the structure is carefully studied. Thirdly, the location of the building is on a slope, which gives special opportunities for building placement, views, lighting, closeness and openness.
The design program consistsof a hotel including 27 rooms, a youth hostel containing 36 beds, a landscape yard and a music hall for local band performance and cultural festivals like the famous 'Gulpener Bierfeesten'. Hopefully, with this accommodation facility design, tourists can come into contact with the local culture, and popularize it further.

And the well established road network can definetely bring people in Euregio here. 2.2 Euregio's Tauristic history and prospect in 2018
Thinking of the Euregio, most people see the romantic images of an idyllic landscape, ideal for cycling or walking tours. It attracts many visitors each year.
Originally the region has been an agricultural and industrial area and most of the land is still used for producing food today. The remarkable change that has occurred is the transformation of an agricultural view on the landscape into a recreational view.
The agricultural landscape first was regarded as the unsophisticated rural part, opposite the cities in which culture and industry culminated. Historically large cities always regarded their surrounding land as their property, as a life support system, processing food and work force for the cities in dustries. It is only since recent years that we have come to realize that agricultural landscapes haveacharm oftheir own. With the disappearance of the heavy industries in the Euregio and the emergence of the car, wealth and spare time, the general public embraced the opportunity to go venture into the landscape. They enjoy themselves in the agricultural rustic landscape, a difficult experience in the polluted, dirty cities.
The specific Heuvelland than stands as an interesting area in the mlddie of Euregio encircled by big cities is just the ideal place where people can feel away from everyday life, yet never so disconnected from its more temporal neighbourhoods. It offers the opportunity to fuiftil the people's need of remaining close to nature and living a relaxed lifestyle, which includes long distance hitch hiking, cycling and enjoying the delicieus local food and beer.
In 2018, when the cities Maastricht, Lige, Aachen and Hasselt will receive visitors from all over Europe, Heuvelland will also expect them to stop and take a relaxed stay in the beautiful Hevelland on the way of rushing from one big city to another. 3. Location

I ~ 3.1 A nalysis of Gulpen-Wittem The municipality Gulpen-Wittem is heart of the hilly Limburg countryside. This vast community has up to ten nuclei and many smalt hamlets. They are all lo cated in the beautiful Limburg hills, surrounded by green pastures and colorful orchards.
The landscape here is almast un-Dutch. It ranges from slightly undulating plateaus to deep valleys with steep stapes. The Geul and Gulp is even named 5-star landscape by the Netherlands Foundation for Nature and Environment.
Gulpen is the most important taurist center in Heu velland with its Gulpener bier factory, various cultural events, panorama plateau and welt developed cycling and hiking routes around. It's convinient location along the highway linking Maastricht and Aachen also helps to bring a lot of tourists.

In Limburg, building activity is normally not allowed in the landscape, but the current reataurant area on Gulpenberg is an exceptional case.

------Locating in the vast Heuvelland la ndscape, the old buildings are preserved over the years quite well just as the landscape are taken care of.
The natural landscape also raise up unsophistlcated residents. Gulpen is a quite cohesive community and has the tendency to engage lts residents in all kinds of social and cultural activities, such as erganizing a standing brassband for local cultural events and celebrating the ripe of hops. The hilly landscape around Gulpen helps to set up its role as a sport paradise. The food and beer produced with resource in landscape is an imprtant part of the leisure life in Gulpen - enjoy the good iew, enjoy the delicious food! 3.3 Ana/ysis of the site As said in previous chapters, in Limburg constructing new building in the landscape is usually prohibited, walking and cycling routes around the site especially on top of plateaus which are often used ' -. for agriculture purpose because of the rich soil there. But this site, though located high on the plateau, has been approved as the city's new building land for recreative purpose. This is due to tworeasons: .. 1. It is located along the famous panorama view ' road, and sits along the tauristic cycling and walking routes. From here sourounding landscape can be enjoyed poetically, and tourists will expect to rest and enjoy the view further. 2. It is directly linked with the city center, which brings local people climblng up here now and then.
These two reasens made the site a potentially .... recreational and staying space for both local people ~ coming from the city and tourists passing by. And what I want to design here is a combination of accomodation facillty for coming tourists and a space for local people to attend cultural activities.

From 17th century till 1971, this building has been used to raise cows and harses. After that, it was transformed into a vacation apartment with nine spacious apartments by the owner of the building.

It's more expansive to live in the hotels in the city. And it's so relaxed to live in such accomodation because landscape is not in near approach.
Living in the camping site is much cheaper, but this type of staying is lack of privacy and caring service.
Staying in the vacation apartments is the best choice among the three. The price is cheaper and the eneironment is cozy. The pitfall is that when they are located in the landscape you feel isolated from social activities when you stay there. But however, the idea of courtyard of provide me a very good prototype as the public and communicational space in a landscape hotel.

Small holiday villas in Limburg region are often built Approximately 130 million years ago, South Limburg was the sea area. The small with wood, fish lived there sank to the bottorn after their death and gradually formed a thick layer of chalk on the seabed, which became millions of years later limestone soil. That is what we call Mergel- a kind of chalk or limestone with light yellow color.
From the Roman era on residents in South Limburg started to use the underground mergel as building block in this region. A lot of remaining chapels and houses made with mergel can still be found today.
