De Veluwse Proeftuin in Ede Afgelopen week liepen we met het projectteam en het kwaliteitsteam door de Veluwse Proeftuin. Langs het treinspoor van Arnhem naar Ede wordt het World Food Center, een nieuw woon-werkgebied, ontwikkeld op het voormalige kazerneterrein. Klimaatadaptief en natuur inclusief bouwen staan centraal. De Veluwse Proeftuin, gelegen in de zuidoostelijke hoek, bestaat uit vier delen, waaronder één deel met een woontoren die begroeid is met klimplanten. De toren heeft tevens een daktuin boven de parkeergarage met beplanting die de biodiversiteit vergroot. De grondgebonden woningen van de middelste twee woonblokken hebben terrassen met pergola’s die begroeid zijn met eetbare beplanting zoals hop en druiven. De ruimte tussen de woningen aan de achterzijde is ingericht als collectieve tuin met een gemeenschappelijke buurtschuur. In de tuinen wordt een lange picknicktafel gerealiseerd, waar mensen samen kunnen eten. In het vierde deel zijn verschillende terrassen ingericht met eetbare beplanting voor mens en dier. #Mixarchitectuur;#BPD;#weustenliedenbaum;#GemeenteEde;#VanWijnen

Urban Oasis, LUGA Luxembourg We are excited to announce that #UrbanOasis will be part of LUGA - Luxembourg Urban Garden garden and open air exhibition of urban gardens, ephemeral installations and agricultural projects and will take place at four emblematic venues in Luxembourg City from may 7th until October 18th 2025   In the heart of Luxembourg City, we turn the square of Rive de Claussen into an temporary “Urban Oasis”. Hidden in the bustling urban landscape, this oasis emerges as a pleasant place to stay, It is designed with a diversity of plantings to green the environment, reduce heat stress, increase biodiversity and create a harmonious balance between nature and urbanization. It not only provides a space to relax , but also to attract birds, butterflies and bees. Several nesting opportunities have been created with specially designed objects. These efforts help maintain biodiversity and create a healthy habitat. The planting has been selected in such a way that it also provides food, thus contributing to the habitat of various species. After the exhibition the planting and pots will get a new destination in the city.

Our design for the new TBC bank headquarters in Tbilisi, in collaboration with landscape designer Atelier LOOS van VLIET, underwent a transition from the traditional closed and introverted working model previously favoured in the banking industry, towards a flexible, open and responsive system, especially for stimulating social sustainability and interactive connections. The bank is organised into departmental clusters which are connected by double and triple height social nodes that host communal programmes. These semi-public spaces create vertical sequences within the building for flexible and interactive socialisation and connection. The TBC Forum, encompassing the TBC HQ, The Innovation Lab and The Culture Hub, is currently under construction and we are excited for the day of its completion!

Varkensmarkt Square revitalization in Amersfoort is completed! This significant transformation has restored the square's charm and purpose, creating a central gathering and resting spot for both locals and visitors. Our goal was to enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of every element of the public space. Once a bustling marketplace, the square had lost its significance and was primarily used as a bicycle parking area. This project aimed to reclaim its historical and social importance by transforming it into a dynamic, inviting urban space that serves as a central meeting place for the community. Key highlights of the revitalization include: Reconfigured Layout: Maximized space for gatherings and greenery, with pedestrian-friendly routes and clear sightlines to encourage foot traffic and enhance safety and accessibility. Modern Urban Furniture: Featuring an iconic bench with a striking design that weaves seamlessly between the trees, promoting social interaction and leisure. Nature-Friendly Water Management: Integrated solutions to manage rainwater, enhance groundwater recharge, and reduce the risk of flooding during heavy rainfall. New plantings between existing trees support local wildlife. Renewed Pavement: Visually enlarged pedestrian areas using reused natural stone edges and bricks, with added natural stone accents for an exceptional finish. This comprehensive renewal not only preserves the historical essence of Varkensmarkt but also transforms it into a meaningful meeting and resting area that meets the needs of a modern urban population. The updated square stands as a testament to the successful blending of history and modernity, inviting people to come together in a revitalized public space.

We are proud to unveil the master plan for the Art Park in Daejeon, South Korea, made in collaboration with UNStudio. The park will host a variety of cultural facilities, with the music performance hall by UNStudio, serving as a key attraction, and being shortlisted for the upcoming architectural competition! The landscape design features two “ribbons” – cultural and natural, meandering between the cultural buildings and outdoor art installations. The natural ribbon, with its undulating landscape and native plants, enhances the site’s ecology and connects it to the river park. The presence of rich planting not only contributes to cooling the air through evaporation and shade but also serves an educational purpose. A water channel running alongside the strip collects rainwater from pavements and buildings, promoting sustainable water management. The cultural ribbon offers diverse outdoor facilities for the local community. Enhanced by blossoming fruit trees, it serves as a hub of engagement and plays a crucial role in building a resilient community.

Garden in Estepona in bloom! LOOSvanVLIET designed a private garden which was realized 2 years ago and is now in full bloom. One of the desires of the residents was to be able to take a stroll through the garden. This walk has been made as diverse as possible, by creating different sub-areas with different ambience and flower colors. The original wall around the swimming pool and the terrace has been removed to enhance the connection to the rest of the garden.  At the front of the house a straight path runs towards the front door. That line continues into the backyard, in which there’s also a straight path above which there’s an existing pergola. The house, the functional paths, the terraces and the pool follow an orthogonal structure, while the rest of the garden with the remaining paths is more organic in form. A beautiful wisteria blooms over the existing pergola. A terrace area with ceramic tiles and canopy by the pool now provide a pleasant alternation between sun and shade. In addition to this covered terrace, one side of the pool is semi-paved with plant beds, the other side of the pool is directly adjacent to the garden. In the semi-paved part rainwater can sink in..  Different atmospheres and colors are created for each sub-area. First there is a tropical atmosphere with palms, red flowering trees such as Delonix and Spatodea and planting with red and orange flowers; this part of the garden is for the real devotees, as there are lots of different plants. The next part is a section with succulents and a section with herbs and vegetables. In the shadowy part of the garden there are leaf plants such as the Manihot, Fatsia, Dicksonia and Alocasia. Alongside the house there’s a white garden. The front garden is designed as a Mediterranean section with plantings in shades of grey and blue, combined with swaying grasses and cacti. Larger groups have been planted in the front of the garden, simplifying the planting in the front yard. There are several grasses, beautiful yucca, Gaura and Calangoe. The garden is a true oasis for the residents as well as for butterflies, birds and bees.
