Poortgebouw

The Poortgebouw functions as the entrance building for the Waterboard Association de Stichtse Rijnlanden, featuring a perforated facade design that resembles water patterns.

Completed in 2019 by architects Marcel Steeghs and Wilco Huppelschoten, the building transformed the previously concealed wastewater treatment facility into a visible municipal structure.

The building promotes environmental education through its transparent design, allowing visitors to observe and learn about urban water management processes.

The 750-square-meter structure contains office spaces, laboratories, a canteen, and excursion rooms that provide panoramic views of the water treatment operations.

The building incorporates Nereda technology, an advanced purification system that reduces energy consumption while increasing treatment capacity compared to traditional methods.
