An unusual museum in Holland attracted us with itsbeauty, organicity and originality. Its shape and green roof add uniqueness to the renovated museum The Biesbosch Museum near Amsterdam has acquired a new look and a green roof during an eight-month renovation by the experienced team at Marco Vermeulen Studio. And this move has made the museum a must-see.
Situated in the most beautiful nationalIn the country's green and fresh air reserve, this museum is the embodiment of unity with nature. The architects decided to leave the framework of the old building, but changed the roof covering to the so-called "green roof" - a roofing type that is once again gaining popularity. Grass roofs are not a new technology at all; greening roofs has been practiced in Scandinavia for hundreds of years due to their environmental friendliness, durability, and energy-saving qualities. The result is a kind of hills, and from the side opposite the entrance, you can't tell that this is a man-made structure. And the lake near the museum completes the resemblance to the natural landscapes so often found here.
The new complex, in addition to the museum itself,exhibition areas, includes a library, theater and restaurant. The managers hope that such a radical renovation will attract tourists and nature lovers. The updated museum will be open all year round.
