Exciting news! 🎉 Opening Scouting Nederland Headquarters

We are very proud to share that last Saturday, we celebrated the completion and official opening of Scouting Headquarters in Zeewolde. Together with our client Scouting Nederland and our contractor Wijdland Trading, we worked to deliver a sustainable and welcoming building that embodies Scouting's core values, using biobased materials and establishing a strong connection with the outdoors.

The building is located along the Nulderpad and serves as the gateway to the #Scoutinglandgoed Zeewolde, complementing the existing landmarks such as the #Avonturenhuis and #Sanitairpaviljoens, designed by MOST Architecture + TOMDAVID Architecten in previous years.

The building is not just a workspace—it’s a hub for meetings and large events, adaptable to host large annual scouting gatherings.

Key features we included:

  • We created a inviting entrance to the Scoutinglandgoed Zeewolde
  • We designed a building embedded in the landscape a variety of working and meeting spaces
  • We used biobased materials such as CLT, Gutex and cork for a sustainable, healthy environment and an energy neutral & carbon positive building
  • We designed a façade featuring cork panels and layered plaster to ensure breathability and tie the building to its wooded surroundings

We’re proud to share this inspiring project that serves as a national beacon for Scouting in the Netherlands! More images coming soon!
