DESIGN VILLAGE PARK STAMPERSGAT COMPLETED
Between the site of the sugar factory and the village of Stampersgat, SMV designed a miniature landscape park. The park is made out of landforms which are constructed using beet soil, a rest product of the sugar factory. The landforms work as a sound barrier as well as a visual barrier. The park will also serve as a connecting element between the village and the existing pedestrian routes along the Mark-Vlietcanal. The park is part of the primary visual quality zone of the het Agro & Food Cluster Nieuw Prinsenland, a large-scale greenhouse and industrial zone in the nearby Prinsenland polder.
