Public toilet for Stichting Singeldingen designed and going in production!
We've designed a demountable public toilet facility to be placed in the playground at the Heemraadssingel this summer. All parts are being prefabricated so this little gem can be easily stored, transported and built on site in just one day with the volunteers of Singeldingen.

Let the building begin!
The municipality council voted unanimously for our skatepool project and praised our bottom-up initiative as the standard for a new approach to projects in public space. We are finishing the definitive design documents so the works can start next February and finish before summer. We also got an article in the 'Algemeen Dagblad' newspaper about the skatepool. So much for the paperwork, let's get physical!
