Kijmpe Bindinga–Dijk lived on Kanaalweg for a large part of his life. Yet, he and his beloved Simone recently sold their home to Woningstichting. They are making space for Dijkkwartier.

At the request of the municipality of Den Helder, Bas developed a transformation framework for the Ruijghweg, Spoorweghaven, and Westoever area. He got to know Den Helder as a visitor. “As a Rotterdammer, I am inclined to look for places where there isn't too much development. I am very charmed by the Defence Line and the forts, but I also find cycling along the dike special.”.
