Beaufort nominated for ArchDaily’s Building of the Year!
Beaufort has been nominated for ArchDaily’s 2026 Building of the Year Award in the Housing category. About Beaufort:Rising at the edge of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, Beaufort is conceived as a sculptural tower of stacked forest villas. Nineteen apartments unfold panoramic views into the surrounding woodland, while the design emerges directly from its sandy, forested context. The themes ‘sand – trunk – leaf’ form the carriers of both the concept and the materialisation of the tower, with the stacking of these themes — layered on top of one another — leading to the final design. Stacked vertically, these themes translate into an irregular composition of outward-folding balconies and parapets, allowing the building to merge naturally with the forest while simultaneously marking the entrance to Kerckebosch as a clear architectural beacon.

Jonas featured in The Timber Truth
We’re proud that Jonas is featured in The Timber Truth by Pablo van der Lugt, published by Material District. The book busts myths about timber buildings and reveals the real potential of wood in architecture, sparking an honest conversation about building with timber. At Jonas, wood clads the facades around the forest patio and rooftop beach and continues inside, shaping the sculptural canyon and communal living room to create warm spaces and a healthy indoor climate. Timber construction reflects our World | We | Value philosophy perfectly. Timber contributes to a more sustainable ‘World’ by being renewable and capturing CO₂. It enriches the ‘We’ by creating spaces that feel good to live in, fostering wellbeing and connection. And it delivers real ‘Value’ as a beautiful place to live that holds its worth and is genuinely cherished by its residents.

Orange Architects selected for Campus Almere
We are happy to share, just before the end of the year, that Orange Architects has won the architect selection for Campus Almere; a new student campus in the heart of Almere Centrum. Commissioned by DUWO and Goedestede, the project is situated on an undeveloped plot within OMA’s masterplan and will facilitate more than 1,250 student homes, with commercial, collective, and educational facilities integrated into the plinths. The campus will consist of apartments for both shared and self-contained living. The urban plan foresees low-rise buildings in a green setting on top of a new public parking garage—the Campushof—as well as a 70-metre-high tower next to Windesheim University of Applied Sciences, overlooking the Weerwater. Design work will start in January 2026, with the aim of turning Campus Almere into a distinctive place to study, live, work, and connect in the heart of Almere City.
