Introducing Ambla: a human-scale project in the heart of a Dutch island.

Much more than just a residential care facility, the 44 apartments offer the inhabitants of Ameland the opportunity to live their entire lives on the island and receive appropriate care. Inspired by the old ‘commander’s buildings’ of Ameland, the architecture blends Dutch tradition and modernity with its asymmetrical roofs and warm atmosphere.

Chosen for its sleek design and natural resistance to the salty sea air, our COVER cladding blends harmoniously into the project.
