阿姆斯特丹的‘de Baarsjes’是一个多元文化的社区，居住着来自129个不同国家的人们。市辖区想要促进社区生活。因此，当局选择了一栋兼有游泳池、治疗池、健身、有氧运动、桑拿和蒸汽浴、派对中心、咖啡馆和托儿中心以及一家快餐店(为附近失业者提供的工作)的大楼。每个单独的元素都吸引不同的目标群体，所以整个群体最终都可以使用它。在里面，每个人都可以看到其他的活动，吸引他们的兴趣，并激励他们使用其他设施以及。因为这座建筑建在公园里，住在附近的人们要求它尽可能的绿色；我们把它完全覆盖在植被中。

‘De Baarsjes’ -in Amsterdam- is a multicultural neighborhood that is home to people from 129 different countries. The city district wanted to boost community life in the neighbourhood. The authorities therefore chose a building which combines swimming pools, a therapy pool, fitness, aerobics, a sauna and steam bath, a party centre, café and childcare alongside a fast food restaurant (jobs for the unemployed in the neighborhood). Each individual element attracts different target groups, so the entire population will be able to use it in the end. Inside, everyone can see other activities, intriguing their interest and inspiring them to use other facilities as well. Because the building was constructed in a park, people living nearby it requested that it would be as green as possible; we completely covered it in vegetation.

现在，它的绿色立面和屋顶，体育广场默卡托标志着伦勃朗公园的开始和结束。从远处看，它似乎是一座生长茂盛的堡垒，它的侧翼和保护着通往19世纪城市的入口通道。透过玻璃外墙瞥见，一个现代水疗风格的综合体发光，包括游泳池，健身空间，餐厅和聚会设施。入口似乎是一个出发大厅，不同的游客可以从那里到达他们的目的地。

Now, with its green façades and roof, Sportplaza Mercator marks the start and end of the Rembrandtpark. From a distance, it seems like an overgrown fortress flanking and protecting the entryway to the 19th-century city. Glimpsed through the glass façade, a modern spa-style complex glistens, complete with swimming pools, fitness space, and restaurant and party facilities. The entrance seems like a departure hall from which the various visitors can reach their destination.

这座建筑被设计成一个城市-一个微型的社会-在一个洞穴里。这座建筑充满了视线和钥匙孔，为建筑中的各种游客、活动和文化提供了视角。阳光透过屋顶上的各种开口深入建筑物内部。低矮的窗户构成了街景和阳光露台。

The building was designed as a city – a society in miniature – inside a cave. The building is full of lines of sight and keyholes that offer perspectives on the various visitors, activities and cultures in the building. Sunlight penetrates deep into the building’s interior through all sorts of openings in the roof. Low windows frame the view of the street and the sun terrace.
