Vliervelden is the contemporary ranch in Oosterwold by Tom Saat and Tineke van den Berg, urban farmers from Almere, within which a residential building with 21 apartments as well as a barn and stable, a farmhouse, a covered entrance, and a store for the sale of agricultural products will also be built

Together with Vink Bouw, Leukehuizen.nl and Tom Saat and Tineke van den Berg, KettingHuls is developing Tom and Tineke's new ranch in Oosterwold near Almere. The outline of the wooden residential building sites with its shape are the barns that pioneers once erected in the United States

In Oosterwold the new residents become the pioneers : rather than from the top down, in accordance with a comprehensive urban plan with a ready-made street map, Oosterwold will be created from the bottom up, by its future residents. They will have to build access roads, plot plots, install sewage systems, and secure energy resources

The Vliervelden residential building has a wooden facade; balconies on the south side and walkways on the street side are supported by a mesh of laminated beams and columns. Concrete buildings are also clad with wood panels and fitted with fixtures of the same material. A very pronounced red corrugated sheet metal roof covers the entire building
