This project is a design for an attraction park in the area between three existing villa’s. Three new buildings, a exhibition hall, a conference hall and a library, are designed in the park. The layout of the park and the buildings is determined by the villa’s and aims to emphasize the remains of history. Each villa is surrounded by a wall, that is being transformed in the project, but does not lose its original function; it is used as a bearing wall for the new buildings, interrupted by the villa’s and finally disappears behind a artificial hill. The result is an impression of a walled park, overwhelming green, that stimulates the senses to uncover what was so far invisible.
