In the vibrant municipality of Heist-op-den-Berg, Vanhout Projects has completed a new project: the brand-new ‘Frans Zand’ residence. With an impressive 1,200 square meters of retail and office space and 21 modern apartments, this project is not only an architectural masterpiece but also a prime example of sustainable living. Among others, the ‘GOED’ pharmacy (CM) and the Wit-Gele Kruis (White-Yellow Cross) have moved into this complex.

The design of the ‘Frans Zand’ Residence is well-conceived and reflects a harmonious unity between the commercial spaces on the ground floor and the elegant apartments above. A crucial aspect of the project is its strong focus on energy efficiency.

Sustainability in Action

Energy efficiency is no longer an optional feature but rather an essential pillar in modern construction projects. The energy performance levels (E-peil) of the apartments in the ‘Frans Zand’ Residence are all below E-20.

The choice of the Karma White facade brick adds an extra dimension to the aesthetic aspect of the two buildings.

In one building, the Karma White facade brick was glued. This creates a seamless appearance and emphasizes the clean lines of the building. The white facade brick lends a timeless elegance to the exterior.

In the second building, the Karma White facade brick was traditionally laid with a tone-on-tone joint. This technique, where the color of the joint matches that of the brick, results in a uniform appearance.

The bright, fresh appearance of the Karma White facade brick perfectly complements the modern architecture of the ‘Frans Zand’ Residence. The white facade brick ensures that the buildings have a contemporary look.

Conclusion: A Model of Sustainable Living and Working

The ‘Frans Zand’ Residence in Heist-op-den-Berg makes a statement about the future of living and working. With this impressive project, Vanhout Projects proves that sustainability and style can go hand in hand.
