STORY | ‘ The tale of Dutch landscape ’

Embark on a whimsical journey through the Dutch polder landscape, where our innovative design unfolds as a surreal and playful intervention. Meticulously crafted to activate the serene countryside, our design combines sensitivity and archipunctual interventions, offering both play and contemplative viewpoints. Optical illusion installations reflect the ever-changing sky and surrounding landscape, creating a harmonious blend of reality and imagination.

OBJECTIVE| Create narratives by embodiment and playfulness

The primary objective is to craft narratives across the serene Dutch polder landscape to foster engagement through playful interactions. Traditionally utilized for agriculture, the countryside stands in stark contrast to urban environments. Our aim is to bridge this gap by reconnecting people with their surroundings and introducing urban activities such as exploration, play, and leisurely strolls to rural areas. By punctuating the landscape with vibrant red landmarks, we not only enhance its visibility across the flat terrain but also attract individuals of all ages.

Through the integration of thoughtful design elements, we seek to provide visitors with opportunities for both playfulness and introspection. By blending sensitivity and innovative interventions, our goal is to create a seamless fusion of reality and imagination, infusing the tranquil countryside with renewed vitality.

MISSION | Activate the polder landscape through playful experiences

The mission is to breathe new life into the Dutch polder landscape by fostering interactive and engaging experiences. As you meander through the polders, you'll discover play elements seamlessly woven into the waterways and terrain, designed to captivate visitors of all ages. Enhancing the visibility towards these productivity landscapes not only alters perceptions and raises awareness of their significance but also establishes a connection between the man-made and natural worlds. These structures not only serve for people interraction but they are meant to be a continuous invitation for insects to inhabit, thereby enhancing biodiversity within the environment.

DESIGN | Exploring differently the countryside

As you journey through the polders, you'll encounter seamlessly integrated play elements nestled within the waterways and scattered across the landscape, offering interactive experiences suitable for all ages. The minimalist design approach draws inspiration from Dutch Design principles, repurposing elements once used for agricultural interventions. Introducing accents of vibrant red adds definition to the landscape and enhances the harmony with the picturesque surroundings, particularly along the water's edge.

Amidst this serene landscape, vibrant red silhouettes of people serve as symbols of activation and engagement in playful activities, infusing a dynamic energy into the tranquil scenery. These silhouettes serve as invitations for individuals to join and partake in the playful atmosphere, effectively blurring the lines between inhabited environments and inviting participation.

ATMOSPHERE | Harmonizing Contrasts through Urban Interventions in the Serene Dutch Landscape

The atmosphere is characterized by the tranquil surroundings, offering a stark contrast with the introduction of these landmarks. This deliberate choice aims to serve as an announcement of the urban and architectural interventions within the surreal and productive landscape context.

Step into a surreal and modernistic urban and landscape design, where photorealistic images converge with conceptual graphical elements. This intervention not only transforms the Dutch countryside into a lively playscape but also invites you to experience the perfect synergy between nature, design, and playful imagination.
