Hedy never shies away from a challenge and knows the value of collaboration. She is proud of the fact that,over a period of ten years,an important residential area has been realised in Capelle aan den IJssel. ‘We knew the Harmonie project would not be an easy one. It was an intense struggle with the inhabitants and the city council.’ How then, did they manage to make this urban area development happen? For Hedy, the answer is obvious. ‘Through our partnership. Stand by each other when things become complicated. Keep working together and never give up, which does not always go without saying.’ What disappointed her? It was not easy to find suitable housing solutions for all the original inhabitants who had to leave. On the subject of the collaboration with Blauwhoed, Hedy says ‘The people from Blauwhoed are modest, not afraid to make decisions, create focus, and have a clever way of working. That is of great value!’
