6 Side by Side Koetsierbaan 1315 Almere Located on the border between the city centre and the Weerwater this two residential towers take a key position in the urban landscape of Almere center To strengthen this 'sign-character' there is deliberately chosen for a very abstract materialization of the facades in industrial glass Closer, the mosaic of frames shows the wealth of more than 20 different housing types The plinth is a wide range of community facilities, including a wintergarden, a sauna and fitness facilities Side by Side is a development with a close collaboration between client, architect and Blitta For this work a complete prefabricated facade was developed in a separate profile system In addition to this, for the first time glass construction boards were factorymade and processed Because of the non-repetitive nature of the façade, the façade was carried out in various widths Project is public!

7 Bridge Almere Hengelostraat / Koetsierbaan 1324 Almere This bridge knits together its surroundings by connecting two large housing blocks The idea was to create a continuous element bteween the two buildings; The Silverline and Block 16 The bridge spans the waterway that connects Weerwater and a harbour for motorized boats There was a headroom of only 28 metres, therefore, in an effort to revive the martime character of the harbour, the architect used a cable-stayed mast structure to refer to the capricious image of sailing boat masts Observed from the water the bridge appears symmetric, static and neutral However if one adjourns to the direction of the traffic for a more dynamic image emerges because of the transversely leaning masts The bridge provides the large-scale and ambitious city centre the necessary lightness Project is public!

8 Tourmaline Felinilaan VN Almere From a distance, the residential tower presents varied faces: steel sheet and wood, horizontal and vertical accents Views and daylighting are superb The ground plan, with three prismatic shapes interlocking, was the source of the the name of the tower, with its suggestions of gleaming semi-precious tourmaline crystals According to the architect: "Near the Weerwater recreational lake in Almere, at a junction of sight lines, an apartment building stands as an urban accent on the skyline From a distance, seen from the city and its access roads, the building continually reveals an ever-changing appearance Its northeast and northwest facades are steel clad A warm veil of wood, drapes its silver mass, profiled in such a way to capture the rays of the morning and evening flood light The south facades have a strong horizontal character The apartments are optimally orientated to benefit from views and sunlight" Project is not public! 2001 Rudy Uytenhaak Hopman Projectrealisatie archimere 8

9 Almere City Hall Stadhuisplein HR Almere Two five-storey office wings meet at right angles to enclose a square parking garage The corner of this town hall is dominated by the circular council chamber also marking the main entrance In each wing is a stair to all levels with the rear facade stepping down as counterbalance The town hall has since been enlarged considerably by the same architect to keep up with the growth of Almere though deviating from the set-up as originally projected Project is public! 1986 Cees Dam Openbaar lichaam zuidelijke IJsselmeerpolders archimere Mo-Fri hrs 9

11 The City Traverse TK Almere The most conspicuous aspect of this building is its orange-brown skin, in combination with the horizontally pivoted shutters which can be opened fully or partly With the shutters closed, the building presents a windowless appearance The shutters help create a division between the leisure-seeking public realm and the privacy of the apartments, while also giving the facade a lively relief Project is not public! 2005 Developer Developer Van Sambeek & Van Veen Blauwhoed MAB Development Almere City Council archimere 11
