Our vision for Natuliér Guéliz was born from a desire to honor the past while embracing the future. We set out to transform the neo-classical Haarlemmerpoort into a vibrant hub that would serve multiple purposes. The challenge was to create a space that not only respects the building's classical architecture but also introduces modern, sustainable elements that reflect the diverse character of the surrounding area.

At the core of our design philosophy is the concept of biophilic design - an approach that seeks to connect building occupants more closely to nature. We've woven natural elements throughout the site, enhancing both its visual appeal and its environmental sustainability.

One of the most striking features of our design is a unique bridge that extends from Westerpark. This isn't just a functional pathway; it's a metaphorical embrace of the space, symbolically and physically bridging the gap between the old and new structures. The bridge serves as a natural extension of the park, blurring the lines between built environment and nature.

Natuliér Guéliz is more than just a physical space - it's a cultural melting pot where art and gastronomy converge, all framed by the beauty of nature. We've designed it to be a place of intersection, where people from various nationalities and disciplines can come together, united by their shared connection to nature.

The space houses a fine dining restaurant, offering culinary experiences that celebrate local and sustainable ingredients. Alongside this, an art center provides a platform for both established and emerging artists to showcase their work, fostering creativity and cultural exchange.
