Outpatient clinic, Voorburg

Voorburg, The Netherlands

In Voorburg, a new freestanding outpatient clinic was built for the Reinier De Graaf Hospital.

Architect: EGM Architecten

Wood type: LDCwood® ThermoWood®  Fraké

Durability class: 2

Year: 2022

Owing to the high archaeological value of the site, the clinic was built on the existing foundation of a former nurses’ residence, now demolished. This gives the building a “floating” look, which is enhanced by the white horizontal lines. Vertical slats in LDCwood® ThermoWood® Fraké were combined in different thicknesses, widths and lengths to enhance the architectural style.

 

The choice of ThermoWood® Fraké guarantees a product virtually free of knots. Fraké is quarter-sawn to achieve a 100% vertical grain. As a result, the thermally modified fraké remains highly dimensionally stable and durable, even in extreme weather conditions.
