The design of the Kip Store is a celebration of timber construction – showcasing a new industrial style using sustainable design and building methods. 

Atelier Krouwel is honored to present the project Kip Store. The new retail location will provide highly qualitative exhibition and office spaces for the Dutch renowned company Kip Caravans. Nick Krouwel is the lead-architect and had a prominent role in the project from design to build. The project elapsed from the start of the design phase in winter 2019 to the completion of the build in autumn 2023.

The project is characterized by the strong ambitions for sustainability. The structure, assembled with cross-laminated and laminated timber elements, is designed to create a versatile exhibition space for automotive and caravan models. Shading, daylight and natural ventilation are integrated to its architecture to minimize the use of mechanical installations and to create comfortable and energy efficient exhibition and office spaces. Most of the building elements are prefabricated using bio-based resources resulting in an efficient assembly process with low carbon emissions on site.
