Award for Zwart Jan!

By building update

We won the Nationale Houtbouwprijs 2024! The jury awarded our home & studio’s in the category ‘private projects’ and complimented us on our uncompromising sustainable design choices. We are very happy with the award (for timber buildings) and hope to inspire others to build the same way. Read more about the project here and the collaborators that made it possible.

We moved in!

By building update

We moved into our new home + studios! We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. It’s incredible to finally live here after all these years. The wooden walls, the abundance of daylight, the stable indoor climate (due to our passive house building method), the neighborhood…

We built and planted the patio in April / May. Thanks to all the spring rains, the plants have already started to thrive and are filling the space.
More info about the project via jadearchitecten.nl, more images here.

Biodiversiteit [NL]

By garden design

Nederland kampioen biodiversiteitsverlies’ (NOS 22 mei 2024).
Werk aan de winkel! We moeten ecosystemen herstellen, gebieden met elkaar verbinden, gebruik van bestrijdingsmiddelen terugdringen….
Ook op kleine schaal in (openbare) tuinen kunnen we keuzes maken die bijdragen aan biodiversiteitsherstel. Wat kun jij doen?
Investeer in biologisch gekweekte planten (o.a. Sprinklr, Cruydt Hoeck, Kwekerij van Houtum). Reguliere planten bevatten veel pesticiden die dodelijk zijn voor insecten.

Kies vaker voor inheemse planten, ze zijn essentieel als waardplant (zie bijvoorbeeld Vlinderstichting voor planten waarop vlinders eitjes afzetten). Er zijn zoveel mooie inheemse planten! 
Mijn favorieten: Silene vulgaris (Blaassilene), Sanguisorba officinalis (Pimpernel), Reseda lutea (wilde reseda).
