'Het Zandkasteel' by Alberts en Van Huut, after thoroughly renovating it for housing and other functions. Luckily, original architect Max van Huut was involved in the process.
Above: the main entrance and lobby. Didn't get to see the International School part (they chopped the building in two parts).
Meandering through the complex, the inner street on the 2nd level connects the ten towers.
Arriving at each of those towers, you are greeted by natural light, sitting elements, art and plants.
Looking up and down the towers:
Like I explained in my previous scan posts, it's built in 1987 in Antroposophical style so 'organic design' is a key element in Het Zandkasteel. You also see that in the details, like mushroom-shaped lamps and no parallel lines:
The coloring of the elevator portals, to know at which tower you have to be, is still there along with the crazy ceiling detail
The (former) boardroom with original wood interior:
The film room (that will be a cinema) with original wood interior:
Some views from the inner street, looking down to some of the plazas:
