After thorough preparations we presented the green concept for the residential building BSH20A by the architect Olaf Gipser, as part of the Amsterdam City lab Buiksloterham.

The green concept of this building consists of water storing green roofs and a patchwork of green niches on the facades, a double storey each.

Tourism Limburg (Belgium) wants to focus on the development of the cycle network of the future. SMARTLAND has approached the task as a nature-inclusive project. This means that we explicitly make the connection between strengthening the forest ecosystem and the construction of this path and landmark. We strengthen the forest environment in conjunction with the construction of a bicycle path at high altitude (max. 10m), and make this enhanced forest environment a unique experi
