City Walk Almere Haven

This is the only building in the inner city with a truly breathtaking colour scheme. It has sloping walls which enhance the daylighting of the interior.

These temporarily sited rented units for market starters are arranged around two enclosed courtyards, where mature bamboo plants in growing bags provide a verdant atmosphere.

The scaly facade of this expressively designed building is made up of zinc-clad flat panels. The dwellings are arranged in 6 storeys, and appear to slide out of the facade like partly open matchboxes.

Villas that can be delivered with differing numbers of segments according to the purchaser’s wishes. The middle segment is always the tallest. The height declines towards the extremities giving the houses a distinctively arched roof.

The design of The Citadel originated from the idea that the centre of a new city needs historical references without engaging in mere architectural historicism.

A higgledy-piggledy building, as a wreck at the edge of the dike. A gate attracts the audience to itself by an elevated panorama room to experience a breathtaking view.

The apartments in this 19-storey block, which closes off the harbour basin, face out in two directions. The horizontally articulated apartments form a rhythmic pattern.

This building clad in corten steel was conceived as a miniature city. It was originally intended to house a wide range of functions, to be openly accessible and to become the district’s premium spot for a rendezvous.

One of the more successful projects from the viewpoint of Gewilde Wonen (‘Desired Living’, a movement towards liberalised housing).

The middle floors of an apartment block are harder to sell, so the lower five and upper seven storeys were given greater volume than the middle four.
