Groot Klimmendaal Rehabilitation Revalidation Centre-Arnhem Netherlands
This is the magnificence of ‘therapeutic’ glass where the sunlight is ever-present,
bringing residents as close to nature as they might ever hope to be.
The overarching characteristic of this two-storey glass rehabilitation centre is direct
contact with nature, a landscaping decision that places this building in an idyllic
forest environment, but not at a great distance from the city of Arnhem, as the
sports facilities of the centre are also used by the community, as a means of
encouraging addicts to feel a sense of belonging.
“Despite its size, the brown-golden anodized aluminum facade allows the nearly
14.000sqm building to blend in with its natural surroundings
