Contractor / Client: Celenation
Status: Completed
Project overview: 3-level individual house
Partners: beSteel, Tijs Niesen Architect, Celenation
Location: Santpoort-Zuid, Netherlands

- 3 levels
- Total surface of 300 m²
- beSteel light steel frame structure
- Engineered to accommodate complex architectural geometry
Steel frame benefits:
-
1
Long spans with precision
Steel allowed roof spans up to 6.5 m, maintaining structural stability without additional support.
-
2
Complex geometry made simple
Prefabrication enabled accurate alignment of variable roof slopes and concrete slab transitions.
-
3
Architectural freedom
Large openings and multiple volumes were made possible thanks to the versatility of the steel system.
Technical highlights
This three-storey residential project contained a unique structural challenge, with multiple volumes, four roofs at varying slopes and orientations, and concrete slabs starting at different levels. The architectural design also featured large open spaces enclosed with glass façades between volumes, requiring both structural strength and precision. Spanning up to 6.5 meters, the roof structure had to remain lightweight yet rigid – a requirement that was efficiently met by beSteel’s light steel frame solution. The system was fully prefabricated, allowing accurate execution of this geometrically complex design and ensuring fast, efficient on-site assembly with minimal margin for error.
Building smarter with steel
A modern solution for demanding architectural designs. Combining structural precision with architectural flexibility for smooth execution. Check out more advantages here.
- Flexible design integration: Handles irregular rooflines, varying floor heights, and asymmetrical volumes.
- High load performance: Delivers long, unsupported spans with minimal material usage.
- Fast and clean installation: Prefabricated off-site for faster build time and reduced environmental impact.
