Tjaardaflats, Modernist apartment complex in Drachten, Netherlands
Three residential towers with thirteen floors stand at the eastern edge of Drachten, featuring distinct color patterns on their facades.
Architects Van den Broek and Bakema designed these residential buildings in 1970, during the period of post-war architectural development in the Netherlands.
The names of the three towers - de Stins, de Pleats, and de State - reflect traditional Frisian architectural terms from the region.
The complex includes secured entrances with intercoms, elevators, bicycle storage areas, and individual storage units for each apartment.
Designer Henk Lampe created specific slate covering patterns for each building in 1993, giving individual identity to the identical structures.
