At the redevelopment of this square in down town Zandvoort, Pellikaan is responsible for large part of the development including the underground car park for 511 cars, 48 appartments, two schools, a public library, a sports hall, city offices and a multipurpose area for social and cultural activities.
The integration of these different buildings with their individual purposes, requires a thorough plan for accessibility, routing and safety in and around the buildings. During the development phase, Pellikaan used its great experience as operator of various buildings to find the best solutions. That experience was also used to ensure optimum long-term use of the buildings, for example through choices regarding services engineering and materials.
Examples are the hypermodern ventilation system for a healthy learning climate, LED lighting in the garage, the use of solar panels and the underground thermal energy storage.
AQUApark Oberhausen
AQUApark Oberhausen
The design for AQUApark was inspired by the views of the drilling rig of a close-by coalmine. This provided the theme for the interior design. A replica of the drilling rig is the focal point and features under a (40m diameter) glass dome. The past relationship with mining is implemented in a stylish, playful way. A fantastic example of this is the unique 100 meter long Blackhole-slide, that leads to a realistic mine scene.
The AQUApark is widely dominated by the glass dome, with its changeable light effects it is the ultimate in aesthetics for the evenings. The lighting plan contributes to the exterior area. During the daytime the dome is opened in fine weather, giving visitors an open-air feel for maximum comfort on sunnier days.
The tropical pool area includes a number of swimming, fun and recreation areas. Some of the facilities are a leisure pool, a training pool, an outdoor pool and a children’s pool. The many slides, including Europe’s longes X-tube, and large sunbathing area with terrace will ensure fun all year round. This huge facility also offers a range of other amenities including a bar, bistro and shops.
Due to its efficient and sustainable energy system the pool is highly economic.
