The design of Flux for De Baak in Amsterdam is in progress. The plan focuses on greenery, collectivity and views from all sides. By embedding De Baak in the landscape, the building will stand in the park. This reinforces the presence of the park and transforms the fragmentation into more unity. A logical whole is created that shows how buildings and park go together in the Westelijke Tuinsteden. Commissioned by Kondor Wessels and in collaboration with OZ Architects, De Wijde Blik, Pieters Bouwtechniek and Arcadis.

Commissioned by the municipality of The Hague, Flux has developed a vision for the Zuiderpark. Just as in the 1930s, the Zuiderpark is on the eve of major changes. In the coming years, 10.000 new homes will be built in the surrounding districts, which will increase the pressure on the park considerably. At the same time, the importance of the park for climate adaptation and biodiversity is also increasing. This requires a review of the Zuiderpark. Flux has developed a vision which encounters climate, safety, health and quality of life.
