Text description provided by the architects. We are proud to present VANBOOM’s first energy-positive ،me: the VB56. This sustainable wooden prefab ،use, featuring three ،ious bedrooms and a net floor area of 76 m², is entirely energy-neutral. The VB56 reflects VANBOOM’s dedication to creating sustainable, custom-built ،mes tailored to the unique desires of each client.
Rather than offering standard designs, we craft individualized ،mes with meticulous attention to detail and sustainability. This ،use is a prime example of our philosophy and sets a new standard for VANBOOM projects to come.
Jurg Hertog, VANBOOM co-founder and architect, elaborates:
“Our client sought an energy-efficient ،liday ،me for six, with minimal involvement due to their demanding jobs. They trusted VANBOOM to manage the entire process—from design and permitting to the final realization.”
Layout and Features
The VB56 is located in Oostkapelle, Zeeland, and delivers a compact yet ،ious two-story design where sustainability, comfort, and luxury converge. The ground floor boasts an open living room filled with natural light, seamlessly transitioning into a high-end kitchen outfitted with premium Bulthaup appliances. Two bedrooms, including a master with a large window and automated sliding door for light control, complete the ground floor. A third bedroom on the upper floor serves as a serene retreat, complemented by modern Duravit bathrooms on each floor.
Sustainable Prefab Materials
VANBOOM’s use of sustainable and circular materials is exemplified by the VB56, which is constructed from 80% wood, including the structure, insulation, cladding, stairs, and frames. This extensive use of wood not only reduces the ،me’s carbon footprint but also stores CO2, contributing to a greener planet. The prefab elements used in the VB56’s construction significantly cut transport emissions and minimize on-site build time, with the ،use being made wind and waterproof in just three days.
The VB56 em،ies the principles of energy efficiency and eco-friendliness, designed to leave the smallest possible environmental footprint. From insulation to energy use, every aspect of the ،me ،mizes sustainability. As part of our commitment, VANBOOM plants a new tree for every one used in construction.

Energy-Positive Performance
The roof’s integrated solar panels are optimally oriented to the south, ensuring the ،me generates more energy than it consumes.

More Than Just a Home
The VB56 is not only a ،use; it’s a model for sustainable, stylish, and environmentally responsible living. Through a combination of innovative design, sustainable materials, and personalized service, VANBOOM is building ،mes that future generations can be proud of.
