Tripolis Park | MVRDV

Tripolis Park renovates and transforms one of the last projects completed by the celebrated Dutch modernist architect Aldo van Eyck, restoring two of the three listed heritage buildings in line with Van Eyck’s original designs. The design also adds a 12-storey “landscraper” along the edge of the site to shelter the complex (which includes Van Eyck’s Amsterdam Orphanage next door) from noise and dust generated by the adjacent A10 highway. The new building is careful in its relationship with the heritage buildings, keeping a respectful distance so that an exciting in-between space emerges where the two meet, with bridges crossing overhead to connect old and new.
