The construction of Tripolis Park, which renovates and transforms one of the last projects completed by the celebrated Dutch modernist architect Aldo van Eyck, is complete. On behalf of developer Flow, MVRDV restored two of the three listed heritage buildings in line with Van Eyck’s original designs and added a 12-storey “landscraper” along the edge of the site to shelter the complex from noise and dust generated by the adjacent A10 highway.
