Polderlab Delft
The project
Polderlab Delft, designed by ZUS [Zones Urbaines Sensibles], is a transformed old farm, situated in the middle of the landscape between Rotterdam and Delft. The building functions as an autarkic monolith, raised above the ground. Polderlab Delft becomes a place to reflect, design, research, create, test and discuss new types of landscapes, innovative ways of living together with water, future-proof crops and sustainable systems.
The colours of the complex merge with the typical Dutch skies and celebrate the lush green landscape of meadows, orchards and vegetable gardens. This harmonious effect is enhanced by the integration of Solarix solar panels in the roof. The mist blue solar panels are carefully matched to the colour of the building and contribute to a visual unity that blends in with the surrounding landscape.
Solarix solar roof
For this project, a Solarix solar roof with mist blue panels from the Mono Collection was chosen. This colour fits seamlessly with the architect's vision to merge the building with the typical Dutch skies. The panels subtly reflect the sky, which uniquely enhances the dynamics between the building and the surrounding nature.
The roof of Polderlab Delft is equipped with 218 m² of Solarix solar panels, of which 122 m² are active. The remaining panels are dummies, carefully integrated to create an aesthetic whole and to take into account the elements present on the roof.

De Kikker primary school
The facade of the Bredeschool located in Osdorp needs to be replaced and is being redeveloped with a lively and energy-generating facade. A custom coloring and design has been developed that builds on the old facade but is also fresh and playful!
dsm-firmenich headquarters
Solar facade contributes to Paris-proof status of new dsm-firmenich headquarters in Maastricht. This project, developed by Edge and 3W Real Estate, and realized in collaboration with Broekbakema, BAM, and LDS Energy, marks a milestone in sustainable construction and is a prime example of how buildings can be made Paris-proof.
Villa Lichtenberg
A beautifully designed, low-energy and maintained villa with a complete energy-generating facade. The facade is designed in a rhythmic pattern of various custom-made coloured solar panels in a combination of moss and sand tones.
