The building plan
In designing these homes, careful attention was paid to the surrounding buildings and the historic atmosphere of Tull en 't Waal. Architectural firm Huub van der Zee from Houten realized a design that blends in perfectly with the surroundings, using traditional masonry in two colors of waal format hand-formed brick. The facades of the extension, where the entrance and storage are located, are finished with wooden tongue-and-groove boards for a warm and authentic look.
Each house is equipped with energy-saving features, such as 4 solar panels of 450 Wp, hardwood window frames with HR++ glass, and an air/water heat pump with a 200 liter boiler. The first floor and second floor have underfloor heating, which ensures a pleasant and even indoor climate. The homes are built under the Bouwgarant New Construction Guarantee, which provides additional assurance about the quality and durability of the construction.

Living in Tull en 't Waal
Tull en 't Waal, a village with about 770 inhabitants, has been part of the municipality of Houten since 1962. This is the perfect location for those looking for tranquility, but still want to live in close proximity to all daily amenities. Utrecht, Houten and Nieuwegein are only a 10-minute drive away. For families, the elementary school, just a 2-minute walk away, is a big plus. On the south side of the village, near the river Lek, there is a boat ramp and excellent opportunities for walking and cycling.
Much has been improved around Kerkebogerd in recent years. Nearly 40 new homes have been built, and the public area, including green spaces, has been refurbished. The Kerkebogerd is a street with no through traffic, which makes for a quiet and safe living environment.
