Overhoeks De August

De August is a new apartment building on the corner of Grasweg and Docklandsweg. This new development by Overhoeks De August consists of 175 affordable rental units with storage spaces and bicycle parking. It is a striking structure, designed by the architectural firm Team V. De August is a striking building, with its seven stories and U-shaped floor plan, offering a welcome contrast to the urban landscape. The clean lines are softened here by rounded corners, pastel colors, and meticulous finishes. The base is clad in luxurious green glazed brick from Koninklijke Tichelaar, adding a touch of elegance. The rest of the brick facade is finished with a wafer-thin layer of cream-white plaster, giving the building a Mediterranean feel. The triangular balconies, which playfully change direction on every floor, give De August a distinctive character. Most of the 175 apartments offer the luxury of a private balcony or rooftop terrace. Thanks to an efficient construction method using prefabricated elements, facades, balconies, and the building shell can be erected quickly, freeing up budget for the design of the common areas. Sustainability is also a key theme in the Overhoeks De August project. The complex is equipped with a thermal energy storage system (TES) that stores heat and cold in the ground. This TES source will also supply energy to other buildings in Overhoeks.
