Circular office building GMB Ijhorst

For the new GMB office building in IJhorst, the starting point was clear: a future-proof design with a high degree of circularity and conscious material use. The application of Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban’s Yoroi façade cladding aligns with this ambition, both aesthetically and technically.

The new office comprises 870 m², distributed over two floors, and was designed with a minimum GPR score (Dutch sustainability assessment tool) of 8.0 as a baseline, indicating a high sustainability performance.

Powerful architectural identityThe façade creates a calm yet powerful architectural identity. Its dark, tactile surface allows the volume to merge naturally into the surrounding landscape, while the refined markings of the charred bamboo introduce depth, texture and subtle variation. Under changing daylight conditions, the carbonised surface develops... More

Esdal College Borger

On the outskirts of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, in the east of the Netherlands, the new building of the Esdal College offers a modern home for around two hundred pre-vocational secondary education (vmbo) students. They themselves were also allowed to help determine what their ideal school should look like. Together with the teachers, they created a list of requirements: the new school had to include high-tech features and provide a warm, homely, and safe atmosphere. BDG Architecten The two-story school building is compact and clearly organized around a distinctly recognizable core. The ground floor is designed for activity oriented learning, with practical subjects such as 'Services & Products' and 'Arts & Culture'. On... More
