The building for the ZEP LeisureParkis based on Zeeland’s two most vital natural elements: wind and water. The image that the building evokes is that of a dance between a wave and a whirlwind. The wave is the horizontal binding theme for the events park, the whirlwind is the twenty-five meter high tower that can be seen from afar and that can be climbed by the daredevil.
Ever since the delivery of the waste processing installation in 1997, the building has not changed. But after the organizations aviTwente and RegioTwente (environmental sector) merged in 2000, there was an immediate need to double the office floor area. This extension also offered the possibility to find a solution for the wish to connect the office building with the main building and the installation, and thus to even out the psychological barrier between white collars and blue shirts.
