Lidl zero: a sustainable icon
In the dynamic city of Almere, the Lidl Zero stands proud as a sustainable icon of our time. This unique project reflects a clear commitment to a greener future, with a façade that both captures the imagination and sets new standards for sustainability. The secret behind its timeless beauty and maintenance-free character? Accoya® wood, processed using a unique technique.
The Lidl Zero façade design exudes innovation. By charring Accoya® wood using the impressive Marugame process, a façade with an exceptional appearance is created. When the sun shines on it, the wood takes on a silvery sheen. This creates an interplay of light and shadow that transforms the façade into a living work of art.
Symbol for the future
The Marugame planks embody a unique combination of simplicity and layering. The charred layer, the true soul of the wood, gives the facade depth, texture, and character that effortlessly stands the test of time.
Remarkably, this wood remains completely uncoated—without any additional protective layer. Yet, it retains its strength and beauty, undisturbed and maintenance-free. It thus provides tangible proof of sustainable craftsmanship and intelligent material selection. This not only preserves the building's aesthetic value but also conserves natural resources.
The Lidl Zero in Almere, with its Accoya® façade charred using the sophisticated Marugame technique, symbolizes the future of sustainable architecture. This building is both an ode to innovation and a tribute to the timeless beauty of untreated wood. It invites reflection on the possibilities that arise when we design in harmony with our surroundings and work together towards a greener world.
