Set within an evolving industrial context, the recycling park in Kielsbroek was designed at an infrastructural scale to assert a clear presence amid both existing and future developments. Taking advantage of the site's natural slope, the recycling area was elevated relative to the waste containers, significantly reducing the need for earthworks.

The site is framed on one side by a canopy and staff building, and on the other by a series of robust container retaining walls. A distinctive oversized wooden beam visually connects the canopy with the staff building, while a tall mast structure serves to accentuate the presence of the containers.

The staff building is laid out as a sequence of interconnected rooms - an enfilade - linking reception to dining areas. Generous corner windows offer sweeping views of the central plaza, while two precisely positioned circular openings allow diagonal sightlines that capture the movement and activity across the site.

Integrated into the canopy are the entrance hall, a public restroom, and a pay station. The white profiled steel roof of the canopy is supported by slender steel columns and grounded by solid retaining walls.

A palette of elemental materials - gray concrete, red industrial brick, laminated timber, and galvanized steel - is employed with precision to create moments of visual surprise and architectural clarity.
