Corrosia
The Corrosia building, clad in Corten steel, is a building that symbolises equality, openness and community. Blom van Assendelft created the building as a large playground that would usher in the heyday of the social city. It should be a freely accessible building with many functions and become the social core of the Almere Haven district. After 35 years, the building was completely renovated by Rik Lagerwaard Architects.

De Hulk
The building named after a warship, has served as an office building and temporary building for the growing school the Meergronden: De Hulk. After the building became vacant, conversion work was started in 2012 to turn this building into an apartment complex, with space left on the ground floor for facilities.

Woon-werkhuis Schuddeboom
In the middle of the countryside lies Woon-werkhuis Schuddeboom. This home is built of zinc, wood and glass. The modern materials create harmony with the green upholstery of the landscape. The design of the rectangular residential box maximises contact with the surrounding nature.

Schaapskooi
The facades of the Schaapskooi are pot-bellied on all sides, with planks overlaid at unequal heights. This has created the rounded outer shape of the building. In the Schapenstal, there is space for a shepherd to stay, an office can be found and the stable is also accessible to visitors.

Living with a View
On the ground floor of this six-metre-wide and 16-metre-deep Dike Villa, you can find an indoor swimming pool. On the second and third floors you can live. The shape and scale of the building block make the house monumental.

Landgoed De Rode Beuk
Landgoed De Rode Beuk is a building on a plot of over 4000 m² and consists of four spacious homes. The residences will have a luxurious appearance thanks to a lower gutter height, an extended, lower roof, a façade of grey oiled wood and orange-red roof tiles, among other things.
