Warm up for event in January 2025

And these are the projects of the month!

Last December, the first award ceremony took place. Indeed, on the estate of Castle de Vanenburg in Putten, everything that had been set up in the previous 12 months came together: the company Trespa and trade magazine Archicomm presented the first "Project of the Year Award. TBE-ZA Architects and Engineers from Volendam won the award with the Royal Edam project.

During the well-attended event - so close to Christmas 2023 - it already became clear that it would not stop at that one time and would be made into an annual award ceremony. The reactions were positive. In addition, all architects present saw that the presentations on stage contributed to a useful exchange of knowledge and that just being in Putten offered new networking potential. 

And all that means that in every edition of your trade journal Archicomm this year, we will discuss a number of projects that have now been chosen as "Project of the Month" and are thus competing for the highest honor: ultimately winning the "Project of the Year Award 2024. The event is scheduled again in January 2025. 

For specific questions about the Award ceremony, please contact organizer Jim Wolters, Façade account manager at Trespa in Weert (phone: 0495 - 458 358) or Folkert van der Werf, project manager at Louwers Mediagroep / Archicomm (phone: 0495-450 095).

Project of the Month for August: NX Filtrations, Hengelo

 NX Filtration, located at the High Tech Systems Campus in Hengelo, has experienced strong growth in recent years. To meet the increasing demand for their innovative water purification products, the construction of a new, larger building was necessary. This new building, located on Haaksbergerstraat, serves as both an office and production location and provides room for further expansion of the company.

The building, designed by Leferink Architects of Oldenzaal, combines modern aesthetics with functional sustainability. The front of the building stands out with its large glass windows that provide plenty of natural light. The rear, where production takes place, is clad in Trespa® Meteon® Natural Graphite (NA17) panels, giving the building a sleek, modern look. The matte finish of the Trespa® panels provides a natural look that fits well with NX Filtration's high-tech identity.

Project of the Month for September: Victa Borne, Borne

Victa, market leader in Business Intelligence solutions has recently moved into its beautiful new office on the Rientjesoven in Borne. Founder and owner Carlo Vruwink was already familiar with EVE Architects from Nijverdal. EVE made its first design in November 2022, quickly followed by the final design and realization. In this new accommodation, inspiration and experience are central for visitors and employees. The goal is partly to appeal to young IT professionals. The building offers several nice facilities such as a bar and a sports area. The new building, located at Rientjesoven 32, is also known as "the Black Pearl. On the exterior, approximately 850 m2 of Trespa Meteon® Metallics M 21.8.1. Graphite Grey was incorporated. The special feature of this facade work is that Trespa applies it as if it were part of the construction on the load-bearing columns of the facade structure.
