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 La Defense office complex is well integrated within the larger urban plan. Both its height and the entrances into the courtyards tie in with the larger site.

The design of The Citadel originated from the idea that the centre of a new city needs historical references without engaging in mere architectural historicism.

‘The Fantasie' was built in 1982; a result of a contest on the theme of unusual living. The competition encouraged the architects to tear up the building regulations and ignore any obstructions.

This huge barn for sheep has a dashing curvature of the form, is clad mainly in wood and provides magnificent accommodation for Almere’s very own flock of sheep when they’re not out of doors.

Unique in the Almere landscape is this succession of different buildings focused on nature, culture, leisure and education in the countryside. Buildings made of natural materials seem to effortlessly blend with the surrounding nature.

The Esplanade is a peaceful square on the Weerwater in the center of Almere. The square was renovated in 2019 by design agency Plein06, on behalf of the municipality.
