By making the former fortress wall visible again through OKRA’s instal-lation, people in the city can once again see, enter and touch the former wall. It raises awareness among the inhabitants and tourists of the rich history of Utrecht. The construction of the marking has also proved to be a boost in the awareness of the entire area of the Domplein..

Role project manager

Client: Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland en municipallity KatwijkYear 2010- present

Katwijk aan Zee currently has a weak coastal defence. In cooperation with ARCADIS, OKRA have designed a new and safe coastal area. A special feature within the coastal defense is the underground parking garage, which was developed with the municipality of Katwijk. The focus of the design is to create a good connection between coast and village, together with recreational use in the new dune area.

Role: Since 2010 Bart has a role as project manager.

Client: Kanton Basel StadtYear 2011

The design of the public space reveals the underlying landscape of the hills, the river valley and the riverfront. This is reinforced by the program-ming concept creating busy and quiet places in the city, defined to match the atmosphere of the area. The result is a vivid green landscape city where residents and visitors can experience the character of the city.

Role: Bart has a role as project manager.
