架构师提供的文本描述。水塔位于奥维伊塞尔省自然古迹所拥有的自然保护区的中央。BOEi、Vitens和自然古迹公司开始计划将这座塔改造成一座了望塔。一个壮观的‘路线建筑’将带领你达到45米的高度。楼上的四个温斯顿给你360度的威登全景。

Text description provided by the architects. The water tower is situated in the middle of a protected nature reserve owned by Nature Monuments; De Wieden in the province Overijssel. BOEi, Vitens and Nature Monuments took up the plan to transform the tower to a watchtower. A spectacular ‘ route architecturale” will lead you up to a height of 45 m. Upstairs four win- dows give you a 360 degree view of De Wieden.

楼上的旅程从一个封闭的楼梯开始，通往4米高的第一层。高度你到了24米的房间。在高度和房子的旧的和新的楼梯景观。穿过水塔主体的新楼梯是用木头做的。这一方面增加了一个温暖的元素，与赤裸裸的混凝土墙的塔。另一方面，它是对自然古迹的一种姿态，使用的是一种未经加工的天然材料。通过在原有路径的基础上添加新的路径，形成空间交互作用.旧楼梯沿着墙壁向上延伸，新楼梯蜿蜒穿过高塔，以加强空间感知。

The journey upstairs begins with a closed staircase that leads to the first floor on 4 m. height. Here you have arrived in a room that is 24 m. in height and houses a spectacle of old and new stairs. The new stairs that lead through the body of the water tower has been made of wood. This to on the one hand add a warm element that contrasts with the stark concrete walls of the tower. On the other hand it is a gesture to Nature Monuments by using a raw and unpolished natural material. By adding the new route complementary to the old existing one, spatial inter- action is created. Where the old stairs led up alongside the walls, the new stairs zigzag across the tower to reinforce spatial perception.

新楼梯通向28米高的巨大混凝土水库下面的楼层。从这个水平上，原来的楼梯穿过一个紧凑型的空间，旁边是坦克的外部。现在，一条缠绕的钢楼梯离开水库下面的地板，穿过空水箱的底部。楼梯慢慢地沿着墙壁蜿蜒而上，增强了水库的空间感知，即塔的中心。作为一名游客，你会感到虚弱，你会感觉到大量的水为整个地区提供了水压。

The new stairs lead up to the level of the floor just below the immense concrete reservoir at 28 m. height. From this level the original stairs went up through a tight space alongside the exterior of the tank. Now a steel winding stairs depart from the floor below the reservoir and goes right through the bottom of the empty tank. The stairs slowly wind up alongside the walls and intensifies the spatial perception of the reservoir, the heart of the tower. You feel feeble as a visitor and you get an impression of the huge quan- tity of water that used to provide water pressure for the entire region.

在塔顶，你已经到达了望哨。坦克的‘盖子’已经部分重新移动，以创建步骤，以提供一个更多的概述在观察后的团体。反父母光栅地板让你想象自己就在坦克中间。除了现有的四个小窗口外，还增加了四个大窗口，完成了德维登的景观。公众在楼上进行了一次令人兴奋和多方面的旅行，并获得了美丽的景色。

At the top of the tower you have reached the look- out post. The ‘lid’ of the tank has been partly re- moved in order to create steps to offer more of an overview for groups at the look-out post. The trans- parent raster floor makes you imagine yourself to be right in the middle of the tank. Alongside the four small existing windows four large ones have been added that complete the view of De Wieden. The public makes an exciting and multifaceted journey upstairs and is rewarded with a beautiful view.
