Boulevard Katwijk

Height difference between boulevard and beach.

Beauty spots

The design has taken into account those beauty spots that are so typical of Katwijk. The squares are all placed in such a position that landmarks such as the church, the Lighthouse and Hotel Savoij, making them recognizable from a distance. At the lighthouse square is a new amphitheatre emphasizing the difference in height. The new sea square, with a giant bench (30 mtrs in length) is the absolute centrepiece of the Boulevard.

Materials

Simple, natural looking design with sturdy elements in scale with the dunes and the sea are used. For example the specially developed gravel tile. The spots of mother of pearl give the tiles a glistering image, without standing out too much.
