This age-friendly (life-cycle proof) home is located in the unique neighborhood of Oosterwold in Almere. If certain basic rules are followed, residents here are granted great freedom to shape their dream homes. The spacious plots make the area especially suitable for single-level, age-friendly residences.
The client wanted to build a home using sustainable and healthy materials. The exterior finish of the taller building volumes, where the living spaces are situated, consists of lime plaster. For the lower sections (storage, office, entrance), Platowood Fraké cladding with open joints was used. These spaces are incorporated into blocks with rounded corners that slide under the roofline. By using narrow vertical Platowood cladding (90 mm), the curves can be followed smoothly.
