MONADNOCK WINS COMPETITION FOR A LANDMARK IN NIEUW BERGEN

The renewal of the centre of Nieuw Bergen, a small municipality in the province of Limburg, formed the motive for Concept-nl to invite six architects and designers to propose a new landmark. This landmark will emphasize the identity of the village and allow public acces to its tower, offering inhabitants and visitors an impressive view of the surrounding natural reserves. The winning sketch-design of Monadnock proposes an accurate combination of high and low in one volume. The base connects to the small-scale intimacy of the market square, while the tower will be visible from great distances.
