Mecanoo worked with DS Landschapsarchitecten to design the dune landscape. Within the landscape design, the firm was able to integrate proper security requirements.
The idea of the renovation was to increase natural light exposure and overlook the park views. At the same time, it enhanced circulation, visual communication, and spatial distribution in open work areas. An array of windows allows the staff and employees to gaze the outside views. Natural light will bath the space in its full glory.
