The Albatros 60
Spacious living with the look of modern architecture.
With the Albatros 60, the collection takes on the character of a spacious, full-sized home. The extra metres have not simply been added to the living room, but used for a comfortable layout with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate toilet and a generous living space. The bedrooms are grouped on one side, while living, cooking and dining together form a large, open living area.
That makes the Albatros 60 suitable for residents who deliberately choose a garden home (mantelzorgwoning), but want to keep as much of the space and comfort of their current home as possible.
Room for a familiar way of life
Moving to a garden home often means moving somewhere smaller. With the Albatros 60, that does not have to mean saying goodbye to everything that makes a house personal. The living room has plenty of space for a roomy seating area and a proper dining table, and the kitchen is part of the same open living area. So there is room to eat together, welcome family or sit at the table with the grandchildren.
The second bedroom makes the home flexible: an extra bedroom, hobby room, study or guest room.
Light shapes the architecture
The generous glazed sections are characteristic of the Albatros Collection, and in this model they come into their own even more because of the greater length. The transparent corner by the living room gives a view of the garden from various positions and brings in an abundance of natural light. The greenery outside thus becomes part of the interior.
The warm timber cladding contrasts with the dark, clean-lined frame of the home. A sedum roof strengthens the green character and lets the architecture connect naturally with the garden.
Comfort for today and later
The Albatros 60 is entirely single-storey and designed with comfortable, future-proof living in mind. The bedrooms, the bathroom and toilet, the kitchen and the living room are close together and logically connected. That makes the home pleasant while someone still lives fully independently, and suitable when more support is needed later on.
That is exactly what we think matters. A garden home (mantelzorgwoning) does not only need to become an option once intensive care is necessary; it can be an attractive choice of home much earlier.
Carefully built, quickly installed
The Albatros 60 is also largely built in our own factories, so that we carry out much of the work in advance and monitor quality during production. Once the garden and the technical connections have been prepared, the home can in many cases be installed on site within one day. No months of building work in the back garden, but a carefully prepared process in which the home arrives largely finished.
Dimensions and layout
Finish and comfort
Often not. Under certain conditions a garden home (mantelzorgwoning) may stand permit-free in the back garden, including when the building is ground-level and stays within the dimensions of the Besluit bouwwerken leefomgeving (the Dutch Buildings Decree). Your municipality can set additional rules, so we check that in advance. Do the permit check first: it gives you a clear answer for your address within a few minutes.
Do I need a permit for a garden home (mantelzorgwoning)? →The price on this page is for the home itself, including transport. On top of that come the foundation, the utility connections and any groundwork. What that costs depends on your garden: the distance to the meter cupboard and access for the lorry are the main factors.
Allow a few months between order and handover: the home is built in our own production facility while the foundation is prepared on your plot. The installation itself takes one day.
How long does it take to build a garden home? →The home stands on its own foundation; which type depends on the ground. Water, electricity and sewerage are connected to the existing services of the main house. We measure this during the site visit, so you know in advance what it will cost.
Yes. The home is built as a single unit and can be lifted again with a crane, for example to another garden or back to us. At the new location, the rules of that municipality then apply again.
In most cases the home may then not remain as an independent dwelling and the original situation has to be restored, unless the municipality decides otherwise. In practice, the home is then moved, sold or taken back. We also buy back our own homes.
Very little. It is a newly built home with modern materials; in the first years, maintenance is limited to checking the façade, the roof and the building services.
