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 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.
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.
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.
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.
