A New Equestrian Concept Takes Shape
In the heart of the Netherlands, surrounded by the patchwork beauty of the coulissenlandschap, a unique equestrian project has come to life. Designed for multiple owners, this innovative equestrian compound offers a shared yet private setup. It allows top-level professionals in the sport to thrive. The result is a thoughtful balance between individual freedom and collective excellence.
The compound features several fully self-contained units. Each unit is designed to meet the highest professional standards. For example, every unit includes:
- 12 to 18 spacious horse stalls (4 x 4 meters)
- A private tack room
- Dedicated grooming areas
- Ample storage for hay and feed
- Optional parking space for trucks or trailers
- Comfortable residential space right next to the stables
However, although the living and stable areas are completely private, the riding facilities are shared. This fosters a sense of community. At the same time, it maintains the exclusivity required by elite riders.
Designed for the Demands of Professionals
Therefore, these units are tailor-made for professional equestrians. They are ideal for those who seek privacy, autonomy, and convenience—without compromising on quality. Whether you are a showjumper, dressage rider, or trainer, this environment supports your ambitions. Horses are cared for to the highest standards.
A Blueprint of Collaboration and Clarity
Creating a compound for multiple owners presents unique challenges. For instance, clear zoning and infrastructure planning are essential. In addition, it’s important to ensure each unit’s independence while integrating shared spaces seamlessly. Therefore, every design decision was made with clarity and collaboration in mind. The architecture meets practical needs while harmonizing with the rural surroundings.
Landscape Meets Function
In keeping with the vision of The Equestrian Architect, the compound is more than just buildings. Instead, the landscape plays a central role. As a result, the natural terrain enhances privacy and directs movement. As a result, it creates a calm and functional environment for both horses and humans.
A Tailored Solution for a New Generation
This project represents a new direction in equestrian architecture. It combines community, privacy, and professional standards in one flexible concept. In the future, similar compounds can follow this blueprint.
At The Equestrian Architect, we are proud to create spaces where equestrian professionals can live, work, and ride at the highest level—with freedom, style, and connection.
