Textual content description supplied by the architects. Subsequent to the Hoofddorp prepare station is the Beukenhorst West enterprise park. The location is positioned between the station and the village heart. Till not too long ago it was a mono-functional, pragmatic enterprise space: workplace blocks and parking areas. The realm will change considerably with the realisation of Hyde Park: MVRDV designed the masterplan for practically 4,000 flats, Dijk&co Landschapsarchitectuur made a design for the general public area. The residential blocks are at the moment being constructed after designs by MVRDV, MVSA, Studio Ninedots, Barcode, and Staff V. The realm will grow to be the brand new entrance to Hoofddorp.

The folly is a cheerful addition to the Kometenplein. It serves as a house base for outside encounters. Meals vans moor right here, drinks are held after working hours and small occasions are organized across the 10-meter-high object.
