Winner of the 2024 Urban Design Award

The historic Varkensmarkt has undergone a major transformation, restoring its charm and function as a central meeting place for both residents and visitors. During a festive evening organized by FASadE at De Veerensmederij, the design was chosen as the winner of the 2024 City Building Award in the Small category. The jury explained its choice as follows:
"The redesign of the Varkensmarkt demonstrates how a relatively modest intervention can have a significant impact, which is highly valued by the expert jury. The elegantly designed benches and playful green borders add something special to the city center. In the jury’s view, this project is exemplary, as it shows how public space can be reimagined with minimal resources and maximum impact, with a strong focus on comfort and social interaction." In collaboration with: Gemeente Amersfoort, Grijssen Park & Design, Jacqueline van der Kloet. Oktober 2024
