1. The project: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Almere

The new hotel at Baltimoreplein in Almere consists of as many as 160 hotel rooms and 16 rental flats. The hotel is characterised by a 7-storey tower with other parts of 3 or 4 storeys. The building is largely constructed of load-bearing prefab sandwich panels, including aluminium window frames and glazing. This ensured that the total new building was completed in 7 weeks. The design is by OZ Architects.

2. Byldis contribution to this project

Byldis contribution: Approx. 150 sandwich facade elements produced, supplied and fitted (approx. 3000 m²).

3. Why was Byldis chosen?

Choosing the Byldis total concept meant that the Holiday Inn Express Hotel Almere could be made more easily and quickly. The aluminium frames from Byldis Facades were built into the sandwich elements in the Byldis Prefab factory. This made the facade wind and watertight. Shortly after the assembly of the construction, a start was then made on the structural completion of the building. Using precast elements made it possible for the hotel to be completed more quickly than with traditional construction methods.

"The design has a precast outer facade of sandwich masonry and is furthermore designed entirely in precast concrete."

4. Challenges & solutions

A challenge during the Holiday Inn Hotel project in Almere were the specific elements for this building. It has various different elements consisting of half bricks and concrete. The concrete framework around the masonry is also very special. The concrete was cast at the same time as the bricks. After the element had hardened, the final joint finishing was done. A special mould was been developed for this purpose.
