Platform on new construction, renovation, restoration and transformation
The former City office in Tilburg now the contemporary City Store, is a milestone in sustainable urban design. Commissioned by the City of Tilburg and led by architectural firm Common Affairs, this project marks a crucial step in sustainable building.
BINX Smartility engaged WEBO to supply HSB elements, Accoya® window frames and cladding. This transformation is a paragon of circularity and biobased construction. Dismountable elements minimized waste and promoted reuse. By using HSB elements, wooden window frames and wooden cladding, the project is in line with Tilburg's sustainability ambitions.

WEBO's expertise in more complex works, such as fire resistance, came into its own here. The facade construction was carefully tailored to fire class B, in accordance with the WBDBO requirement. Pre-grayed and thermally modified fraké wood and 60-minute fire-resistant oak window frames provided a solution to meet the requirements.
Made from modified softwood, Accoya® window frames fall into durability class 1, comparable to the best tropical hardwoods. Their natural appearance is maintained with a transparent finish. The fire-resistant oak window frames received a custom transparent paint, perfectly matched to the Accoya® look. WEBO made samples for this to guarantee the desired quality.
The facade of the City Store is clad in pre-grayed fraké wood of various lengths and thicknesses. Despite the complexity, the intended pattern was realized effortlessly with a thoughtful approach. Work planner Christian Ligtenberg of WEBO explains: "To simplify assembly, we divided the application of the fraké slats into 16 phases. In our factory, we cut no fewer than 90,000 fraké slats to size and pre-sorted them per brand type in steel stacking bins. This saved a lot of time during assembly."
Innovative HSB elements and triple-glazed window frames were central to the sustainable transformation. They significantly shortened construction time and meet today's requirements. This project proves that progressive construction techniques can contribute to future-oriented, environmentally friendly urban development. Curious about all the details of the project?
