Extended school De Ring, IJmuiden
Extended school De Ring, IJmuiden
The replacement sports hall in IJmuiden is located in the new extended school centre the Ring, along with a sports café, primary school and play group. A winding plinth connects the building’s parts. A lot of possibilities were created for education and sports to function optimally by linking areas and sharing provisions. Each user can be recognised by their use of colour and each has its own entry leading to the shared area in the heart of the building.
Environmental measures far beyond guidelines
Design elements like the compact shape of the building, high insulation values and use of natural light reduce the use of energy. In addition, the Ring has sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies including a sedum roof, solar panels and solar-powered boilers. Also, by adding mass to the construction, an consistent indoor climate is created. Furthermore, thermal energy storage is applied in the piling (geothermal piles). 255 of 355 piles are connected to the heating system.
At its own clubs, Pellikaan uses the BaOpt system (Bauer Optimisation). This is the first time we installed it for an external client. BaOpt is a high-tech regulating system for indoor climate installations, based on the latest control- and sensor technologies. It takes the occupancy in the rooms into account and keeps air quality perfect that way. Installations with BaOpt used less energy than the others.
Using these and other technologies, the Ring has a GPR score (municipal guidelines for sustainability) of 9.04 whilst only 6 is required.

The new location and design of the centre means that it provides a very welcoming view, visually inviting the people in Washington to come in and enjoy the facilities.

Hotel Van der Valk, Uden
Hotel Van der Valk, Uden
The new four-star Van der Valk hotel Uden-Veghel is situated close to a hospital and has direct access to a busy highway. It opened months prior to the original opening date. As Harry Heinrichs of Van der Valk mentioned during the opening ceremony, it was the collaboration between the passionate Van der Valk and Pellikaan families that enabled the hotel to open its doors for guests within 8 months after start of construction. The implementation of collaborative planning techniques (Lean construction) in our organisation has definately also contributed to that.
The three floors harbour 105 hotel rooms and 11 areas for meetings presentations and conferences. The restaurant and conference rooms are situated in the front. the hotel rooms are devided in two wings to the back. Two large terraces by a pond maark the front elevation. Of course, sufficient parking areas have been provided.
The design takes into account the environment. As an example, a sound barrier reduces the noise from the highway. Part of the building has a green roof, and solar panels were installed.
