Triodos Bank
The natural surroundings of the Estate were considered during the development of the new office. The design and construction are centred around principles of nature and biomimicry. Biomimetic architecture seeks solutions for sustainability in nature by following its set of principles and using it as a model, taking inspiration from natural designs and processes. Building heights have been adjusted to remain below the treeline. Bat flight routes were respected, and a special light plan was developed to prevent disorientation and to protect fauna. The energy-neutral building consists of sustainable materials and a demountable, wood-hybrid construction, which was designed by Rau Architects and constructed by JP van Eesteren... More

Skin Prestige
The wall cladding system Skin Prestige makes use of the same profiles as used for decking. They can therefore be installed on either side to obtain different types of finishes. They can be modularly applied on a pre-prepared substructure made up of aluminium uprights spaced evenly apart, making it possible to obtain a cladding system that is fast and practical, but stable and resistant at the same time. The 3-5 mm gaps resulting from the fastening clips used can be covered using accessory profiles. More
Skin
The Ventilated Wall cladding system can be modularly applied on a pre-prepared substructure made up of aluminium uprights spaced evenly apart. Corners and edges can be formed wherever needed. The cladding system is fast and practical, despite providing a decidedly attractive final result. The stack effect typical of ventilated claddings ensures the good condition of the walls by favouring the passage of rising air. More
