Atelierwoningen

A complex where architecture and nature achieve maximal synergy. Large wooden residential barns each containing five or six dwellings lie scattered on mounds in a garden-like landscape.

Book the City Walk Almere Centrum and discover the special architecture in the centre of the city.

These so-called ‘red devils’ are ranged along a canal-side, guarding, as it were, admission to the territory of Almere.

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.

Fifty-five colourful houses in green surroundings. As a resident, you park your car on the fringes and walk or bicycle along the path to your home. The path is dominated by diagonal lines, embroidering on the Anthroposophic ideas of Rudolf Steiner.

Book the City Walk Almere Haven and discover the oldest part of Almere with canals, a market square, nostalgic architecture surrounded by residential areas with many courtyards and the Havenkom.

A structural shell of 60 cm thick concrete enwraps a nine-storey office block. Due to the heavy facade with its emphatic rhythm, the building proclaims an immense robustness and tranquillity.

Halls offering wide options for interior use are ranged around a core. The robustness of slate combined with the lightness of aluminium endows the houses with an exclusive aura.

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.

‘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.
