Zaanse wooden houses
Green wooden houses characterize the Zaan region. Many Zaanse wooden houses have been built since the 17th century. The wood came from sawmills that also supplied shipbuilding. In its heyday around 1700, 600 mills were running at the same time. Their main client was shipbuilding. In the peat meadow area, the light construction with a proven solid construction proved to be ideal.
Characteristic color, shape and facade
Zaanse houses are painted in Zaans green, although there are many shades of green to be seen in the Zaan region. On the Zaanse Schans, the houses are mainly dark green, to underline their age. The door and windows, on the other hand, are painted in contrasting colors such as white. It also happens the other way around: a dark green door on a light gray house. However: Zaans green can always be found.
Zaanse timber construction is largely determined by the characteristic ratio of 3:4:5. The roof, walls, doors, window frames, but also the soot in the windows, everything is made in that same proportion. You often see an angle of 53.13 degrees. This radiates simplicity and tranquility.
The facade of a Zaan house also provides its characteristic appearance. The front and rear facades traditionally follow the shape of the roof trusses. They end in a point. Anyone who has a house made of rectangular bricks is more likely to opt for a stepped gable. Another option is the spout gable. In addition, there are many types of facades possible that make the house appear larger.
