Default Innovative architecture NETHERLAND



Sportplaza Mercator, Amsterdam


This landscaped pool-complex is equipped with several in- and outdoor swimming pools, sauna, fitness, sun studio, restaurant and bar. It is not just a swimming pool but strives to be a communal activity centre and public meeting point for the divers Amsterdam neighbourhood De Baarsjes.

The whole exterior of the complex is furnished with a green carpet. The green façade is made with the patented ‘Wonderwall’ system by Copijn (see project team). With this system 50,000 different plants grow vertically on, up or against the façade and change with the seasons. An automatically regulated irrigation and feeding system is integrated into the construction of the façade.



Together with the green roof, the complex blends into the surrounding greens of the Rembrand Park. Not just the exterior is worth a visit: the building offers stunning interior views between different levels of pools and fitness rooms
