This development also serves as a starting point for recreational activities on nearby islands, creating a more inclusive and accessible environment. The Rimboe is envisioned as the first circular water hub in the Netherlands, emphasising a closed-loop system for materials, water, and energy.
The design also incorporates bio-based, demountable materials to store CO2 and enable reuse in future projects. As an education center for biodiversity, circularity, and design, The Rimboe connects urbanisation with the countryside, offering a tangible experience of circular innovations. Its twisted watchtower and thatched finish link it contextually to its surroundings, symbolising a sustainable and circular future for the Netherlands.
