Color as identity<\/strong><\/h1>\n

At Monopol Colors we see color not merely as a design element but as a force that shapes identity. The Hoost project in Knokke-Heist (Belgium) is a prime example of how architecture and colour together can create new living environments. Behind the colourful fa\u00e7ades a public meeting place unfolds, bringing together a library, a games room, a caf\u00e9, offices, and meeting and multipurpose rooms. A place that not only provides housing, but – above all – creates space for life.<\/p>\n

\u00abThe concept of the project is to resemble a \u2018stacked city\u2019: looking around the city you\u2019ll see a broad range of houses in different colors and materials. By stacking layers of them on top of each other you end up with a \u2018vertical city\u2019 that combines all forms and sizes. The four colors are used to resemble the differences in the streets of the city\u00bb, says Jonas Vanhauter, Project Manager at CAAAP.<\/p>\n

Tailored solutions for special requirements<\/strong>
\nThe location directly on the Belgian North Sea coast posed specific challenges for the coating systems. Salt-laden air, humidity and strong winds demand maximum durability. Our answer: a specially developed 3-layer system with primer, base coat and a highly resistant clear coat. That gives not only protection but lasting brilliance.<\/p>\n

A palette that tells stories<\/strong>
\nFrom sample selection in 2019 through delivery in 2024\/2025 we accompanied the project closely. In total roughly 15,000 m\u00b2 of fa\u00e7ade were coated. The colours used give Hoost its unmistakable identity – fresh, dynamic and welcoming:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Light green (NCS S 1060-G50Y)<\/li>\n
  • Yellow (NCS S 0560-G90Y)<\/li>\n
  • Orange (NCS S 1070-Y40R)<\/li>\n
  • Blue (NCS S 5030-R70B)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    With a final gloss of 30 GE the surface looks modern and elegant and integrates harmoniously into the architectural concept.<\/p>\n

    Partnership: the key to success<\/strong>
    \nInternational projects like Hoost come to life only through close collaboration with renowned partners such as CAAAP Belgium (project developer), Artes Depret Belgium (general contractor), Jakob + MacFarlane (architects), Euramax Architectural Products (coating applicator) and Alpolic Mitsubishi Chemical Group (aluminium composite panels). Together we set a strong example of quality and innovation.<\/p>\n

    Monopol Colors – color that adds value<\/strong>
    \nFor us, Hoost is more than a reference project. It exemplifies how, at Monopol Colors, we help shape places that bring people together through precise technology, sustainable systems and tailor-made color concepts. Places that do more than simply exist – they inspire.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
