Kerckebosch Zeist wins Gulden Feniks award!

According to the jury “a particularly clever and inspiring restructuring of a post-war neighborhood, with large-scale demolition and new construction in which the existing landscape is integrated with the neighbourhood. No less than 85% of the residents have returned to the new construction in the neighborhood after the demolition.”

Congrats to WOM and .nl for winning the Gulden Fenix award for this beautiful transformation project. We’re glad to be part of the development with the design of Beaufort ( ), commissioned by Slokker Vastgoed.

And an update on the canyon in Jonas, forth and back! Oak flooring slats have been mounted on the mountain path; almost ready for adventurous walks from the living room to the roof top beach - and vice versa.



Designed by Orange Architects for , in cooperation with and . Built by , with WVH Gevelprojecten for all internal and exterior facades.

Some facade photos of Jonas, showing the bold exterior cladding of black-brown patinated zinc, with orange stained Douglas for all soft sides, like ceilings, setbacks, recesses and patios. Just two more months until delivery!

Construction at Beaufort has officially started! 🍾 Special thanks to Slokker Vastgoed, Slokker Bouwgroep, NCB Projectrealisatie and W.O.M. Kerckebosch for making the project come to life with us.

Beaufort consists of a sculptural tower of stacked forest villas located on the edge of – and overlooking - national park Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The green, wooded area and sandy soil are the immediate inspiration for the design. More about the unique project and location at orangearchitects.nl/projects/beaufort

The ensemble offers a spatial, metropolitan solution to city-centre living in a compact urban composition. Lots of attention has been devoted to good-quality private, collective and public outdoor spaces, all of which enhance social cohesion in the neighbourhood. The green courtyards connect the residents of the four blocks to one another.

Team Orange Architects visiting Waalfront and Jonas last week. Getting a first glimpse of the Douglas timber lamellas which are currently mounted in Amsterdam and overlooking the Waal from the apartments in Nijmegen. What a sweet way (and tradition) to kick off our summer break.

From August 1 until August 14 our office will be closed for holidays. See you after! 👋

Want to join us tomorrow at the Hudsons or ZoHo? There are still some tickets available.

We are proud to announce that by the end of 2021 S-West was finalized! This mixed use inner city project consists of an ensemble of 4 buildings on a half sunken parking garage, with a garden on top.

The 30.000 m2 project, on which we have been working for the past 5 years, is located in the heart of the former Philips site known as Strijp-S, just north to the center of Eindhoven. All 4 buildings have a character of their own and together they subtly acknowledge the area’s industrial past. It is visible in the structure of the buildings, but also in the tiniest details and the naming, like the iconic tower landmarking the project on the Torenallee was named after the iconic Frits Philips.

All photos of the project were taken at the beginning of 2022 by sebastian van damme - fotografie. Designed for MRP Development, landscape design by Felixx Landscape Architects & Planners and built by Stam + De Koning Bouw bv. For more info and images visit orangearchitects.nl/s-west.

Zooming in on the filigree-like, slender grid that wraps the facade of The Line. A detailed article on how it was made and a little peek of the tour we organized together with Tektoniek and Hi-con Nederland B.V.

Thanks Architectenweb and Michiel van Raaij!

Detail: filigrain raster rond woongebouw The Line in hogesterktebeton Op Overhoeks heeft Orange Architects woongebouw The Line rondom voorzien van een filigrain raster in hogesterktebeton. Hoe is dit raster precies gedetailleerd? Architect Jeroen Schipper van Orange Architects gaf Architectenweb een rondleiding.

Let’s talk concrete! Exactly one week ago Orange Architects Bas, Jeroen and Paul showed 40 colleagues around The Line - elaborating on the design and the technique behind the super-slim, high-strength balcony panels and columns. We couldn’t have picked a better day to do so. ☀️

Thanks Tektoniek and Hi-con Nederland B.V. for the great collaboration, and our colleagues for the inspiring conversations

Orange Architects has been working for almost 2 decades on several projects in both Ukraine and Russia.

We are deeply shocked by the recent aggression of the Russian government against the people of Ukraine and the invasion of their country, and strongly condemn this brutal act of violence.

Our thoughts and support are with our Ukrainian friends, colleagues, clients and other people we came to know in these past years as friendly, optimistic and open minded. We wish them to stay safe and strong.

Simultaneously we support the brave Russian citizens who dare to stand up against this war and speak out, while risking their own freedom.

This new reality has led us, unfortunately, to the descision to pause all our project involvements in Russia until further notice.

Step inside Jonas.👇 The canyon is nearly ready for installation of the timber lamellas - and the rainwater on top of the glass roof is creating a similar effect as the beach's water feature will in a bit. We're getting closer to completion!

A transformation project nominated for a Brick Award? PTT Binnenrotte did it! 🧱 "Transformation executed well. This Brick Award 22 nominee knew how to maintain the building’s sturdy brick identity while giving the whole complex a good facelift." Thanks for the kind words Brick Award.

Winners will be announced late spring 2022. More on the project via www.orangearchitects.nl/ptt-binnenrotte

Meet Beaufort; a sculptural tower of stacked forest villas, located in Kerckebosch Zeist and rooted in its green setting.

The concept and material elaboration of the tower are based on the themes of ‘sand’, ‘tree trunk’ and ‘leaf’. Stacking these themes as layers on top of one another generated the design. The theme of ‘sand’ encompasses the balcony parapets and terraces. Outdoor ceilings are designed as part of the ‘leaf’ theme, taking the form of an informal green finish on all the lower sides of balconies and cantilevered surfaces. Finally, the supporting columns and wooden façade cladding are elaborated as part of the ‘tree trunk’ theme.

As of last week all 19 spacious apartments are up for sale. For more information go to beaufortzeist.nl.

Let us exchange knowledge! Together with Tektoniek and Hi-con Nederland B.V. we’re hosting a tour at The Line on March 9 2022. The identity of the building is determined by a delicate grid of 6-cm-thin balcony railings and 880 super-slim concrete columns. Over the last years we worked intensively with concrete specialist Hi-Con to develop the graceful, high-strength balcony panels and columns. During the visit different members of the project team will guide you through the process and elaborate on the technique and challenges we encountered.

Last Saturday sales have started for our project Reijsendaal in the Rotterdam 16Hoven district.👏 Commissioned by Nieuwvastgoed and in cooperation with Geurst & Schulze architecten we designed a green and sustainable living environment along the Van der Duijn van Maasdamweg; the main entrance to the area with the city centre of Rotterdam right around the corner.

Sculptural row-villas, in alternating blocks of 2, 3 and 4 units, and a cornerstone apartment building are designed by Orange Architects. The villas are recognizable by their outspoken roof shape, while the apartment building has a set up of 4 stacked villas on a plinth, with the elevator taking you directly into your living area. Large corner balconies frame the view on the beautiful park and pond of Park 16Hoven.
