DOK - Wellness Centre

DOKHAVEN - Research, Design & Manufacturing
Within the area between the Beneluxtunnel and the Erasmus bridge are laying the Stadshavens of Rotterdam. The rdm-terrain is one of the four subareas belonging to the Stadshavens. On the terrain you perceive a junchtion between living, working and innovation. Knowing this we can speak of a wide variety of needs. But when you analyse the area there's almost no space for satisfying these needs. At first sight the lack of public space to recreate is the biggest shortcoming of the terrain. To solve this problem I want to add a Wellness Centre with a variety of different functions. The building offers space for a variety of functions, it will function as the beating heart of the DOK-haven.
DOK - Wellness Centre
The beating heart of the DOK-haven will be the DOK Wellness Centre. The 60-metre-long building has been designed to connect people and stimulate sharing of knowledge and cooperation. All social facilities are brought together in this building: restaurants, bars, a conference centre with auditorium, and the Wellness Centre consisting of gyms, sauna’s and spa’s. Residents and visitors to the DOK-haven meet at every day, for lunch, an intensive workout or during one of the many network meetings, concerts or technical conferences. DOK Wellness Centre is the centre for meetings, inspiration and creativity.
