Architecture Design Building by Drost and Van Veen Architecten
To serve a wide audience there is an information room, classroom, panorama room, restaurant and representative meeting room: the new icon of Almere-Buiten. The entrance of the building is situated at the foot of the dyke. From the entrance the visitor climbs the stairs to the crow’s nest: an exterior space to view the environment. The facades are constructed of prefab, timbered pinewood, elements in different patterns and textures.
