Facade cladding in Almere residential area
In Almere, near the water of the IJmeer and in the dunes, a completely new residential area has been built. Here, the facade cladding, sheds and frame wood are made entirely of Accoya® made. Boogaerdt Hout supplied the rough wood for the facade applications, frames and doors. In addition to the houses, the barns are also constructed from Accoya®The company Flow Geveltoepassings, in collaboration with XL Wood, installed the facade parts. The Accoya® The frames were provided by Timmerfabriek Doornebal.
There is for Accoya® chosen because of the excellent durability and the “green” character of this beautiful type of wood. The project is located in a wooded area in Almere close to the dunes. As a result, the resident lives in a wooded area, but experiences the ultimate feeling of the dunes.

Architect, Evert Kolpa
The project called Boomrijk was designed by Evert Kolpa, architect and co-founder of Van Bergen Kolpa Architects. He says: “The homes fit perfectly into a forest landscape. For example, the roof is designed as a canopy, with leaf-shaped roof tiles in the colours of autumn. These colours were specially designed for Boomrijk. The facade, with its thick, coarse stone, resembles the bark of a tree. Living in a forest is about wood. We wanted to reflect this in the appearance of the homes. That is why the frames and other parts of the facade are made of fine, light, sustainable Accoya® wood with a visible wood structure. It is a beautiful, natural combination.”
