New district
64 houses and 58 apartments together form Het Ommeland. This energy-efficient fully electric residential area in Groningen boosts a robust and industrial appearance. Onix Architecten was looking for an orange-red brick, developed locally.
Orange-red colour
Given the close and long-standing collaboration combined with their local character, the choice for Strating was easily made. Choosing the right brick was the next step. Pieter Jan: "We dig up our clay in Groningen. This is how we make the bricks with their typical orange-red colour that you simply won't find anywhere else. From our extensive collection, the choice fell on the Bourtange brick in Waal format. Partly engobed and reduced to orange-purple, this is exactly what the architect was looking for."
The houses in the district are part traditionally built with bricks and part prefabricated. That's why in addition to Waal-formatted bricks, we also produced brick strips. A sustainable, cost-saving but above all lightweight choice. It is THE solution for parts in the structure that could carry less weight.
