The architects worked together with ceramic manufacturer NBK and facade builder Bijlbouw to create samples and mock-ups to find the perfect blue-green glaze for the facade with its custom-made details.

The blue-green glaze of the ceramic details allows the building to appear as a different color in every type of weather, while the layering of color and form adds a touch of artistry that refers to the richness of Groningen’s historical buildings and the optimistic rawness of post-war architecture.
