Studio Wieki Somers designed a range of modular Chimney Pots, inspired by the English Tudor Style, for a new housing development in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands.

In keeping with the architect’s reinterpretation of the English Tudor style, Studio Wieki Somers has created a range of chimney pots, enhancing the identity of a new housing development in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands.

The inspiration came from the tall, richly decorated chimney pots characteristic of English Tudor architecture, echoed in the way that farmers stacked peat around the Haarlemmermeer lake in the sixteenth century.

The studio developed a modular system by stacking several elements in various combinations to produce different compositions. It is a kind of Lego with infinite possibilities. The details of the Tudor chimneys are translated into polyester concrete, a contemporary and durable material that allows sections to be ground open, revealing the underlying structure. The residents of each of the 1250 houses can choose their own Chimney Pot from a family of five different designs.
