2008-03-16 Eenvoud bouwt

Exhibition of experimental housing area 'De Eenvoud' in Almere, The Netherlands

Designers looking for inhabitants. On a beautiful spot in the middle of a woodland in Noorderplassen-West in Almere (NL) a unique project is planned – 'De Eenvoud'. Twelve houses have been designed specifically for this place: an ornithologist's house, a rubber house, a convertible house, all simple yet special houses. From the 28th of march, a large model with all the projects will be exhibited in the architecture centre CASLa in Almere.

'De Eenvoud' is the result of a competition held in 2006. The participants were asked to design a freestanding and simple low-cost house, expressing their own wishes and ideas for dwelling. The winners get the possibility to build their design on an open spot in the woodland of Noorderplassen-West. The twelve winning projects were submitted from The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal and Sweden, and from the 28th of March these designs will be exhibited in the architecture centre of CASLa. The houses will have a permanent character, with a minimum of building regulations. Some of the projects will be built by the designers themselves; nine projects are looking for buyers.

The municipality of Almere encourages inventive forms of building. Two earlier experimental housing areas, 'De Fantasie' and 'De Realiteit' have been published extensively both nationally and internationally. These houses are used for permanent living, as holiday homes or studios. It is the intention that the designs for Eenvoud also can accommodate these uses

Exhibition 'De Eenvoud' – 28th of march until 10th of may 2008; Architectuurcentrum CASLa, Weerwaterplein 3, 1324 EE Almere Stad

Open Tuesday to Saturday between 12.00-17.00

Together with 'Landschappen van Almere' and 'Shelter' the exhibition 'De Eenvoud' will be inaugurated on the 28th of March at 16.30 by council member and alderman Frits Huis, previously involved in Comite de Fantasie. For more information visit eenvoud almere or Casla
