Marking Amsterdam’s Post

As you can see in the video, in which the manager of the crematorium in Zaanstad talks about the renovation, a radical transformation is needed. Wonderful assignment in which we were able to translate our ambitions for a sustainable transformation for the establishment of the crematorium in Zaanstad (and future locations) by applying biophilic design principles. Landscape is integrated into the design, daylight is used and the seasons are made experienceable. A wooden structure around the building also gives identity to the building, sunlight is regulated, annoying logistics are prevented and the ceremony spaces have a direct relationship with the landscape with thematic gardens. The landscape is a design by MADMA urbanism+landscape. Green zones are also created deep in the building. These green zones are combined with large mirrored walls that make the greenery visible deep into the building. By adding technology to these mirror walls in the interior, on which photos of the deceased and messages for relatives can be displayed, a unique combination of nature and technology is created for PC Uitvaart, making personal ceremonies possible.

Some homes are perfect, flawless — like pages torn straight from a glossy lifestyle magazine. You admire them, but they don't challenge you. Then, every once in a while, you stumble upon something else. A rare gem. A home with imperfections, possibilities — a rough diamond. The kind of home that sparks something inside you. As you walk through its rooms, you don’t just see what is — you see what could be. Those 'aha' moments, where every corner holds the potential for your unique touch, your vision, your personality. These are the homes that become more than just a place to live. They become your personal project. A journey of transformation, of turning potential into reality. They’re rare. Hard to find. And even harder to forget. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 💎

Let me see, you claim that we need a lot of homes. That’s how you justify the skyscrapers and the densification of Eindhoven city center. But in this project, you are wasting this precious m2 with offices? If we assume that the average m2 for the area of those 175 houses is 100m2 (which I am sure that the average m2 will be much less than that considering these are high rises), it is in total of 17.500m2 for houses while 25.000m2 office space which is going to be occupied only 8 hours a day! So you will further over crowd the already busiest area of Eindhoven during the day time.

As Your Aubrilam Partner for Hungary

NOVUM Hospitality and the #construction company NXTBAU plan to build ten #hotels using #sustainable wooden modular construction in the next few years. The Hamburg hotel group Novum Hospitality and the construction company Nxtbau have signed an agreement to realize ten hotel projects using sustainable #wooden modular construction. The hotels are to be built and opened within the next five to ten years, will have a total of 2,000 to 2,500 rooms and will be implemented as part of the strategic partnership between Novum Hospitality and IHG Hotels & Resorts. In the future, the hotels will be operated by Novum Hospitality under various midscale and upper midscale brands of IHG. The first hotel project in Hamburg has already been secured. "In addition to the Greensign certification that all of our hotels in #Germany have, we also want to go a step further in terms of sustainable project development: The #innovative wooden modular construction not only contributes to reducing CO² #emissions and conserving resources, but also enables a comparatively fast and high-quality implementation of construction projects," explains David Etmenan, CEO of Novum Hospitality. "In the future, this will enable us to better meet the growing demands of sustainable tourism in an #ESG-influenced 360-degree view, while at the same time optimizing our operational processes - a decisive competitive advantage for us in a changing hotel market."

Sustainable wooden modular construction offers numerous advantages for the hotel industry. As a #renewable raw material, wood binds CO₂ as it grows, which significantly improves the #carbon footprint compared to conventional building materials such as #steel or #concrete and ensures a positive ecological footprint. In addition, the prefabrication of the modules can help reduce material waste through more precise work and minimized surpluses. In addition to the sustainability benefits, the wooden modular construction also creates an efficiency advantage: the faster off-site prefabrication of the individual wooden modules reduces the construction time, which ensures that the hotels built in this way can be opened and used more quickly. In addition, the modular construction offers a high degree of flexibility. The modular parts manufactured in this way can also be installed on existing buildings in the sense of densification. In addition, the houses built in this way can be easily extended or converted if necessary without significantly disrupting ongoing hotel operations.
