The water sports centre Sloterplas is a well-hidden small complex
on an island in the lake Sloterplas. Due to its remote position and
its partly overage facilities it struggles with a lack of visitors.
The design aims to create a more attractive appearance towards the
public realm and to improve the existing facilities by a couple of
low-cost interventions. Most significant of these interventions is
the introduction of a square, to be used both by public and the water
sports centre. Dominating element on the square is an existing boat
shed, getting an entirely new façade made of transparent polycarbonate
sheets. |
