Ateliereen与比利时建筑工作室MaMu Architects合作，为洛默尔自治市设计了一个30米高的观测塔。“Lommelse Sahara”地区的特点是多沙丘，并被松树围绕。这里是一个非常流行的自然保护区，人们可以到此散步和休憩。

大型三角形钢架结构是一种高效率的结构。这种结构也确保了从各个不同角度去看，塔的外形都会发生变化。从一些地方看这座塔，结构是扭曲歪斜的。

For the municipality of Lommel, Ateliereen designed a thirty meters high observation tower in co-operation with the Belgian architecture studio MaMu Architects. The ‘Lommelse Sahara’ is characterized by sand dunes and surrounded by pine trees. It is a very popular nature reserve mainly used for walking and relaxation.

The large steel structure consists of triangles, which is a structural efficient form. This principle also ensures that the shape of the tower changes from different perspectives. From some places the structure appears to be skewed.

塔的外形设计受到这一地区的名字“Lommelse Sahara”的启发，仿似可以辨认出沙丘波纹起伏的线条。三角形结构外围有超过3.5千米长的绳索。这些绳索非常沉重，但也很灵活，因此创造了像沙丘外形一样的线条。爬上楼梯时，参观者可以从绳索之间看到风景。

The name of the area -Lommelse Sahara- has been inspiration for the facade design of the tower, in which the wavy lines of sand dunes are recognizable. The triangular structure is wrapped with over three and a half kilometers of rope. The rope is quite heavy but also flexible, so it creates playful lines that refer to the dunes. When climbing the stairs the visitor looks between the ropes at the scenery.

这座塔有三层平台。最低的平台向水面延展，通过斜道可以前往。从这一层沿着楼梯往上，可以升到几乎30米的高度。半道有一个平台，从顶上望去，你可以看到四周的风景。楼梯的栏杆和平台是木头结构。

The tower has three platforms. The lowest platform extends towards the water and is accessible by a ramp. From this level you can take the stairs to a height of almost thirty meters. Halfway there is a platform and on top and you can enjoy views all around. The railings of the stairs and the platforms are cladded with wood.
