Lakeside
The Lakeside was designed by the architectural firm SeARCH on behalf of the municipality of Almere. The building can be found on the Esplanade in the center of Almere.
The Lakeside has a beautiful view of Het Weerwater and is part of the Almere skyline. The striking thing about this building is that it makes a twist at the bottom surface. Here is room for catering establishments. At the top of the building, houses are fitted with loggias. These are interior balconies that provide good climate control.
