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.
Circular office building with a biobased coreDue to GMB’s growth, the existing location no longer met its needs.

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.
