Designed to connect with nature

At the edge of the Kerckebosch forest, Beaufort blends architecture with nature. Its sand-coloured, wave-patterned GRC parapets capture the design vision of “the sandy forest floor rising up to reside among the tree tops”, bringing depth and character to this landmark development.

For the Beaufort project in Zeist, BB fiberbeton produced 360 GRC balcony parapets across 55 unique variants, covering around 1,000 m². The light, matt, sand-toned panels feature a custom wave pattern (0–15 mm depth) and range from 12–30 mm in thickness to accommodate the design’s sculptural depth. Finished with a transparent coating for water and dirt resistance, the elements use hidden mounting systems for quick installation and require no technical maintenance.

Designed by Orange Architects and built by Slokker Bouwgroep, Beaufort combines GRC, timber, and greenery to create a façade that connects contemporary architecture with its forest-edge setting.
