With the Bakhuis and the Veldschuur now completed, our attention will turn to a number of other exciting restorations. We plan to restore the Farmhouse & Deel, The Sheepshed and a Haystacks into wonderful spaces over the coming years.
Collaborating with local authorities, the estate is working towards creating an ecological corridor between the ‘Veluwe National Park’, and the area of ‘The Utrechtse Heuvelrug’. Initiating in 2016, the estate is committed to work at transforming agriculture to original heather, forest and wetlands. By blocking locks the water sees chance to resurface and create wet the land. Combining this with withering the grounds, these have the opportunity to recoup heather and wetlands. Here we can now see sundew, yellow-green sedge and bone sedge reappear.
Connecting people to community, place and nature is at the core of the Ahof design strategy. The team is committed to respecting the historical value of the land and its architecture. The aim is to inspire people to care for the spaces they inhabit by using craftmanship and design. This way the hope is to instill a positive energy and an ongoing commitment towards the buildings into the future.
