Project Accoya – Hotel Airportplein in Rotterdam

September 24, 2022/in Projects

A new hotel has been built just next to Rotterdam The Haege Airport. Because of the small-scale airport with many options, it is becoming increasingly popular to fly and spend the night here. More and more passengers are choosing an overnight stay close to this convenient airport. This will soon be possible in this new three-star hotel with approximately 132 rooms. The hotel with a sustainable and green appearance could of course only opt for natural facade cladding with CO₂ neutral wood type. In collaboration with Stiho, Bouwgroep Moonen has achieved a wonderful result. The Accoya^® has been treated with Woodsafe fire class B.

Wooden 'egg' is ready

April 15, 2019/in Projects

RAU Architects and Ro&Ad Architects have jointly designed a giant 'natural egg' as a bird observatory. The building, made of Accoya and pine wood, was officially opened on April 16. Boogaerdt Hout supplied Accoya® for this purpose.

The bird observatory is located in the middle of the Scheelhoek nature reserve, close to the Haringvlietdam near Stellendam. Commissioned by the Dream Fund project, a striking 'natural work of art' has been placed in one of the most beautiful environments in the Netherlands. In response to the Haringvliet Kierbesluit, the joint nature organizations want to gradually reduce the tide and make the effects observable to the public. The area is a foraging and breeding area for waders such as the common tern and the sandwich tern. These breeding birds can be admired up close from the observatory.

The structure is completely removable, covered with local thatch and recognizable by its wooden egg-shaped construction.

The lower part of the egg is made of Accoya® wooden beams. This part of the observatory can become flooded due to, for example, tidal changes. The part that remains above water is made of spruce wood.

Oregon Pine for King's Sloop oars

October 26, 2016/in Projects

In the heart of Rotterdam, two ship carpenters are manufacturing new oars for the Dutch Royal Sloop. In order to be able to sail again with the almost two-hundred-year-old 'Golden Carriage on Water', Hoogstad Scheepstimmerwerk and Spant Houtwerk are making twenty replicas of the historic oars. The oars are made from Oregon Pine supplied by Boogaerdt Hout.

Niko Hoogstad and Jesse Kazemier, from Hoogstad Scheepstimmerwerk and Spant Houtwerk respectively, are currently working on the production of twenty new oars for the Dutch Koningssloep. Both carpenters, specialized in ship restoration and carpentry on and in historic vessels, make the oars almost identical to the old Royal oars.

The new oars are made from specially selected Oregon pine, supplied by Boogaerdt Hout. This wood is resilient, dimensionally stable, defect-free and has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The ship carpenters glue several thin layers of Oregon pine into one beam, from which they form an oar by milling, planing and sanding. This construction ensures a dimensionally stable, durable and light whole.

With the replicas, rowing can be done again in the future with the now restored Dutch King's Sloop. The King's Sloop was built for King William I between 1816 and 1818. The King's Sloop was used several times on official occasions with members of the Royal House: for the first time at the inauguration of King Willem II in 1841 and for the last time at the silver wedding anniversary of King William I. Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard in 1962.

After a major overhaul, the Royal Barge will soon be exhibited again in the Maritime Museum. The new oars are expected to be ready by mid-March.
