Background information:
Where a clog factory once stood on the edge of a small town in Brabant, a new building was built around 2020. The site now offers space for homes and two office buildings, including this example with house numbers 20-22. Although the two office buildings have clear similarities, they also differ in many respects. For example, an attempt is made to get the best out of standardized construction while the buildings still acquire their own identity. This light brown office building is also slightly smaller with "3 by 4 windows" where the dark office building has "3 by 5 windows".
Architectural details:
The entrance, surrounded by a prefab concrete frame that also serves as a shelter, is located on the short side of the building at this office. The office is made of a mottled light brown masonry, and it is striking how much effort has gone into getting as many details as possible, such as the colors of the frames, windowsills and roof trim in a similar brown shade. It has also been a clear design choice to let the brickwork at the roof continue slightly so that it is easier to hide air conditioning and other installations on the roof from view from the street. Details such as the varied frame layout make this seemingly simple building interesting to look at.
