Designers looking for inhabitants. On a beautiful spot

“De Éénvoud” 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 Éénvoud also can accommodate these uses
