Three elegant residential towers with rounded corners and floating roofs. They are named after the three artificial islands south of Pampus: Drost, Warenar and Hooft. They are located in a prominent spot on the Almere coast, visible from Muiden and Amsterdam. The height of the towers rises to 11 storeys at the most inland volume. There are a total of 78 villa flats with curved indoor balconies, which from a distance lend a rhythmic, ascending articulation to the towers. Some units also have protruding triangular balconies. They provide a playful accent to the smooth walls. Under the floating, cantilevered roofs are flats with sizes of up to 300 m². But the other units are also very spacious. The mantle of pale yellow brick camouflages the internal concrete construction. Muiderburght was initially a solo project on this site, surrounded by forests full of foxes and rabbits, but is now part of the highly urbanised coastal development Duin. Residents keep their generous views of the marina at their feet, of the rippling Markermeer, the white railway bridge in the distance and, of course, they enjoy most of all the expansive Dutch cloudy skies, which surround their homes on all sides.
