Project: De Zeester Day Care Center

Architect: Architectenbureau Marlies Rohmer

Location: Noordwijk, Netherlands

Function:  Situated on a gently rolling lawn, the De Zeester Clinic melds clear geometric form with playful detailing—an insightful architectural approach to creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for developmentally challenged guests. A regular pattern of porthole windows creates visual connectivity to the surrounding woodland, and provides intimate exterior views at multiple heights. The building centers on a large interior courtyard, which gives guests free access to a safe open-air garden.  Read more about this project in the Architizer database.
