The 3500m2 building designed by MVRDV will be open to visitors by the end of 2024. The unique and prominent location on the recreational beach will allow visitors to see both the dunes, the North Sea and the impressive port itself. Inside the building, a permanent exhibition developed by Kossmanndejong will take you through everything related to the harbour. The large panoramic windows focus on different elements in the port that enhance the content of the exhibition, from nature to industry.
The MVRDV-designed building is completely energy-neutral by deploying optimal insulation, efficient installations, 266 solar panels and even its own windmill. In addition, the main construction is fully demountable and largely built from recycled materials, including donor steel and partially recycled façade panels.
