The VITA-groep won the tender for constructing a swimming pool in Middelkerke against the edge of the dunes in March 2019. We designed the landscape plan with a dune landscape around and against the building. The design encircles the entrance square, facilitates play and movement, and forms a beautiful transition from the stretch of dunes to the polder landscape behind it.

The parking programme is situated along the main road, from which visitors walk to the swimming pool on a dune path. We added more diversity to the existing planting by using dune plants, which contribute to the spatial quality of this special project.
