Reflections of Gaasbeek and Groenenberg

 

A perfect balans of contrast and integration
Gaasbeek and Groenenberg are adjoining parks with distinct features. Groenenberg is known for its diverse flora, while Gaasbeek features monumental buildings. A cohesive wayfinding system of green and red totems connects the parks. The wayfinding design follows the principles of transparency and vistas. Tall, mirrored totems guide visitors through the forested landscape, blending into the environment while providing clear direction.

The colors of nature
The vibrant colors offer visibility without disrupting the natural setting. The parks’ varied terrain is addressed through maps and signage, including hanging maps, totem maps, and an accessible table model.The mirrored totems create a reflective, cohesive experience that integrates with the surroundings.
