Landmark Nieuw Bergen gives the traditions, customs, building methods and its locality a proper expression. The redesign illustrates how traditional construction, combined with modern materials and techniques, has potential to make our built environment characteristic and more sustainable.
Durability and separability of wasteflows count as the most important starting points for the redesign proposal. The Scale, Mass and Ambiguity have been respected in the new proposal by creating strong visual resemblance to the original building, while searching for the ambiguities in traditional half-timbered house construction and innovative hempcrete materialization.
The resulting Landmark showcases innovation with respect for traditions.
