Netherlands Parking garage Katwijk

The town of Katwijk in the Netherlands wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Firstly, they needed a new dike for coastal protection. Secondly, the resort required parking for its numerous holidaymakers and day trippers. The town commissioned the architects from the project development firm Royal Haskoning DHV (Amersfoort). The result is impressive: a 500-meter-long parking garage with 663 parking spaces, built underground into the dike in front of the dune complex. The curved entrances made of glass and steel blend perfectly into the landscape. Above ground, the parking garage is virtually invisible. The project won awards for the integration of coastal protection and underground parking into the landscape and village, as well as being named Building of the Year 2016 in the Netherlands.
