Tip by

2.15 km

The color concept of this building was developed together with Swiss artist Adrian Schiess. The combination of colors and the oblique shape gives this building the illusion of an emerald. The harder the sun shines, the brighter the colors. The light in the apartments in De Smaragd is optimized by the shape.

Lakeside

Highlight • Monument

Lakeside is designed like this, turning, to keep the sightlines to the Weerwater clear. Walk a little closer to the building and you will see that the glass windows and metal panels themselves are turned. You can also discover small details on the panels, which resemble crocheted curtains.

The New Library

Highlight • Structure

This library was inaugurated in 2009 and was designed by Meyer & Van Schooten Architects. Not only the outside is striking, with the partly protruding facade, the inside is also worth a visit. The books are on shelves and you move through the building by means of escalators, just like in a department store.
