“These flower-like figures appear in the park and form a new identity for the park. A pinkish aluminum façade will be implemented throughout giving a strong and beautiful character to the site,” writes MVRDV. “The roof terraces with peach trees create overviews and add on to the green qualities of the buildings and the park.”
