Zuidoostbeemster is a gardeners village close to Amsterdam next to the Beemster. The Beemster is a special polder put on the World Heritage List of UNESCO in 1999. Zuidoostbeemster is a village with estates of merchants from Amsterdam who initiated this polder.The inhabitants of this village will be double this decade and this growth asks to take action. “De Boomgaard” plays a part in this plan. The building is situated between the old existing village and the new extension of Zuidoostbeemster.
De Boomgaard is a place for the whole community, for the toddler in “de Boomhut” and the card player in the community center. The building accommodates a community centre, a crèche, a gymnastic society and a school. The different parts can be used separately from each other, or the spaces can be shared.The inspiration for Bastiaan Jongerius for the design of De Boomgaard are the reflecting greenhouses, the whimsical orchards and the orthogonal polder.
