BOARD’s competition entry “Het hergebruikte appartement” (“The recycled apartment”) won the 2nd prize in the open competition for “Sustainable Krajicek Playgrounds”We took the wish of the competition?s organizers, the Richard Krajicek
Foundation (RKF) ? to involve the surrounding buildings as closely as
possible in the design of the playground ? literally and picked a
typical apartment from a building in the neighborhood, enlarged it five
times, and used it as the ground plan for the new playground. This
proposal was based on the conviction that reproducing an apartment from
the neighbourhood would make it easier for the inhabitants of the area
to identify with the new playground, which would eventually lead to a
socially sustainable place and a strong sense of belonging among people.
