Living in Strijp S, Eindhoven
Strijp S is the former Philips industrial estate that has been transformed over the past fifteen years into one of the most striking residential areas in the Netherlands. The atmosphere is unmistakably urban and creative: you live here among renovated factory buildings such as the Veemgebouw, the Hoge Rug and the iconic Klokgebouw, interspersed with sleek new-build apartment complexes. The architecture is modern and industrial, with plenty of concrete, steel and large windows. This is not a classic residential area with gardens and hedges, but an urban district with lofts, studios and apartments where design and technology take centre stage.
The population composition confirms that picture: of the 3,125 residents, the vast majority (2,300) are between 25 and 45 years old. Only 80 children under 15 live here, and 1,580 of the households are single-person households. The percentage of married people is strikingly low: 9%. Strijp S is essentially a neighbourhood of young, single professionals.
