The recycling park in Kielsbroek was given an infrastructural scale to stand out amidst existing and future industry. The natural slope of the site was used to create an recycling area relatively higher than the waste containers, minimizing the need for moving soil. The site is demarcated by a canopy and staff building on one side and container retaining walls on the other. An oversized wooden beam connects the staff building with the canopy, and the long mast structure highlights the containers.

The staff building is organized as an enfilade of rooms connecting the reception and dining areas, with large corner windows overlooking the square. Two round drilled openings provide diagonal views on the comings and goings. The canopy also accommodates the reception area, public restroom, and ticket machine.

Elemental materials meet each other in surprising ways, providing a sense of casual recombination. The montage of prefab concrete, red industrial brick, laminated wood, and galvanized steel allows for circular reuse.
