Sherpa

A sustainable and circular day care facility in the sheltered residential area of Eemeroord in Baarn.

Client: Private
Status: Design phase

“A building that is for ALL clients”

A new day care facility with accommodation and treatment facilities. This new construction provides space for 70 clients daily for meaningful day care and for 16 lodging clients with intensive care needs during weekends.

“95% of the materials are given a second life”

The ambition is to realize a sustainable, circular, biobased, and nature-inclusive design. We demonstrate how various components from the donor building SHIP are used in the design.

The design also aims to create a space that fosters a sense of community and puts human scale at the forefront. At the same time, the location is maximized by merging the building with nature.
