2 The building

14 2 - The building

n the midst of the green wetlands, apartment

complex Columbus is a true landmark at

the edge of Almere Poort. The supermarkets

green roof, the spacious setup, the lush green

area combined with the architectural design all

blend in with the natural surroundings and the

modern Columbuskwartier neighbourhood.

Columbus is surrounded by a lively waterside

square. The square is home to a full-service

supermarket with a liquor store and florist. The

square provides easy access to your car in the

residents-only parking garage.

152 - The building

A green landmark

The 30 apartments are spread across four

floors and vary in both size and layout.

All of the apartments are finished to the

highest standards.

The carefully detailed rendering on the staggered

facade is a remarkable highlight. These same

facades feature integrated structural planters with

greenery and gorgeous varnished mahogany window

frames. Each part of the facade is different and the

interplay of the facades creates a striking effect.

16 2 - The apartments

Not only does the shopping and residential

complex appeal because of its elegance, it also

meets the most modern requirements and the

strictest sustainability standards. These values

are reflected across the complex. For example

we chose to use recycled concrete, sustainably

sourced wood and the entire building is lit by

LED bulbs.

Aside from offering a great view, the

supermarkets green roof also offers natural

insulation. It forms a buffer against rain water

and filters CO2 out of the air. The building is

energy-efficient because the heat from the

supermarket is recycled. Modern insulation

ensures a constant and pleasant temperature.

Solar panels on the roof produce energy to help

light the communal areas.

The local shopping centre provides a new hub for the Columbuskwartier. At the edge

of this new neighbourhood, the sustainable retail and residential complex marks the

transition from city to country. In more than one way it is a truly sustainable and

attractive project. The layout of the parking lot and the vegetation-covered roofs,

together with the plants in the apartment facades not only lower the projects carbon

footprint, they create a unique and sustainable living environment. Moreover, it is

not just its remarkable choice of design and building materials, but also its decision

to combine a supermarket with residential spaces that makes this project such an

exemplary contributor to the sustainability of the neighbourhood. With its large

planes of glass, its white structured facades and the remarkable window frame detail,

it has become a complex of exceptional quality. Generous in its volumes and presence,

always close and accessible, it is a modern beacon in the fast-growing city of Almere.

Van Egeraat heads up his own architectural

firm, working from Rotterdam, Moscow,

2007, Best Building Award 2011 & 2012 and
