year: 2021 - present
grenspark groot saeftinghe is a region steeped in history. it forms the transition between oost-zeeuws-vlaanderen and the waasland region, but also between the polders, the harbor, and agriculture. at the request of local stakeholders – regional authorities – we designed a corporate identity catalog that architects and designers can use: benches, picnic tables, bike paths, a dike house, an activity stand, and so on.
we work with organic, raw elements that create contrast. wood of the river old locks becomes a bench, and white concrete in the green dike forms a path to the scheldt. we opted for rugged concrete that exudes character and creates space for nature, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape over time.
