Appreciation towards VenhoevenCS for providing the following description:

荷兰阿姆斯特丹的‘De Baarsjes’社区是名符其实的社会大熔炉，这里聚集了来自世界129个不同国家和地区的人民。当局为了提高这里生活质量便在这里建立了一个集游泳池，水疗，健身健美，桑拿，聚会中心，咖啡厅，快餐店一体的综合建筑，由于这个建筑位于公园中，因此建筑师让建筑披上了厚厚的绿色植被外衣。

Amsterdams neighboorhood ‘De Baarsjes’ is a multicultural neighbourhood that is home to people from 129 different countries. The city district wanted to boost community life in this area. The authorities therefore opted for a building which combines swimming pools, a therapy pool, fitness, aerobics, a sauna and steam bath, a party centre, café and childcare alongside a fast food restaurant. Each individual element attracts different target groups, so the entire population will be able to use it in the end. Inside, everyone can see other activities, intriguing their interest and inspiring them to use other facilities as well. Because the building was constructed in a park we wanted to preserve as much as possible, we completely covered it in vegetation, camouflaging its diverse program.

建筑中的每个功能都能为建筑带来不同的用户，开放的内部空间能让人们可以看到其它活动发生并激发他们在这里进行更多的活动。

这个被植物包裹的建筑就像是公园中一个古老的，长满杂草的构筑物侧翼。而你仔细再看，能看到点缀其上的明亮大玻璃幕墙。人们通过不同的入口到达自己想去的地方。建筑宛若隐藏在山洞里面的城市，各个开窗为各种用户提供外向视野，屋顶天窗则让阳光深入建筑内部。低处的窗户框住街道和阳光露台的景致。

Now, with its green façades and roof, Sportplaza Mercator marks the start and end of the Rembrandtpark. From a distance, it seems like an overgrown fortress flanking and protecting the entryway to the 19th-century city. Glimpsed through the glass façade, a modern spa-style complex glistens, complete with swimming pools, fitness space, and restaurant and party facilities. The entrance seems like a departure hall from which the various visitors can reach their destination.

The building was designed as a city – a society in miniature – inside a cave. The building is full of lines of sight and keyholes that offer perspectives on the various visitors, activities and cultures in the building. Sunlight penetrates deep into the building’s interior through all sorts of openings in the roof. Low windows frame the view of the street and the sun terrace.
