Built in 1680, this farmhouse has a rich history and is classified as a national monument. However, somewhat neglected over the years and damaged by fire, the heritage building was at risk of collapsing.
François van den Waardenburg and his wife bought the farmhouse partway through the reconstruction, with the plan to make it habitable again.
“The farm is in an ideal location for me, it’s beautifully rural and 800m away from my parents. I live in Veldhoven and often visited the farm, appreciating the unique features of the building.” says Francois.
The material supplier Remco Bakker from MKK presented Abodo’s Sand Rhombus from Plastica. Sand Rhombus timber cladding in Teak finish has a natural wood tone which immediately gives a warm feel to the property. The sheeting and reed is grey, and the frames are also dark grey - so the timber provides a contrasting colour which brings it all together.”
Sand Rhombus cladding is made from 100% Radiata Pine and has a particularly beautiful grain structure. Because the timber is treated, it retains the natural properties of wood but requires very little maintenance.
