Located in the East of the Netherlands and seven centuries old, Twickel undergoes major changes every century, the park had last been redesigned in the nineteenth century by Petzold.
Subsequent growth, decay and development resulted in a park that was very different from the original one. The foundation therefore called for a plan to preserve the park, not by restoring it to its original state, but by renovating and transforming it. The plan involved several tasks: a major clean-up, especially of the shrubbery, aimed at articulating the park’s spatial structure; a redesigning of the paths; the restoration and extension of watercourses; adding a number of modern elements, the four bridges, the gazebo and the entrance building with shop which have been designed in a contemporary style, which nonetheless fits the historical park.
The project shows how an old park can be renovated—while respecting its present state and long history—and accommodate current demands and uses at the same time.
