Center Island in Wood: A groundbreaking project by MaatWorks and Urban Climate Architects

We proudly present to Urban Climate Architects one of our most sustainable and innovative projects: Center Island at Wood. This special project, resulting from the won tender for lot 05-13, embodies our vision of forward-looking architecture that focuses on sustainability and creativity.

A Collaboration That Inspires

Lidewij Lenders from MaatWorks has engaged Urban Climate Architects to jointly build a groundbreaking, future-proof building, consisting entirely of CLT (CrossLaminated Timber). With a strong focus on sustainability, we create a healthy, modern living environment that focuses on people and nature.

Building in Wood: Sustainable and Aesthetic

The use of wood as the main building material plays a key role in this project. In addition to reducing CO₂ emissions, wood offers a warm and natural appearance that perfectly reflects the innovative character of Center Island.

Design features:

  • Wooden support structure: The heart of the building consists entirely of wood, a sustainable and renewable material.
  • Recycled hardwood facades: These are combined with other circular and biobased materials for a robust but environmentally friendly appearance.
  • Biobased insulation: The insulation is made of natural materials, which ensures a healthy indoor climate and minimal environmental impact.

A Vision for the Future

Center Island in Wood is more than an architectural masterpiece; it is a step towards a sustainable future. This project shows how innovative construction techniques and materials can contribute to a better living environment for people and the environment.

With this design, we show how architecture can not only meet today's requirements, but also have a positive impact on future generations.
