Designed by Zaha Hadid, who died unexpectedly a couple of months before completion of the building, the new building symbolises the dynamic, reliable, ambitious and innovative nature of the Port of Antwerp. It is the daily workplace of 500 employees of the Port Authority and it acts as a meeting place for the many international contacts.

Her riches are greater than any human can long for.” Fundamentally, nature and architecture are actually contrasts - each house and each garden is an interloper - however much it tries to adapt to its environment. So during the process of design, I always feel responsible for connecting humans, nature and garden architecture and for creating softly fluid transitions to the various living spaces. This means creating from the outset a harmonious whole including the house and garden with personality, proportions, materialisation and colour concepts. Exterior spaces emerged which open onto breathtaking views into the mountains with light-flooded terraces and unappealing spaces perfectly concealed with the right selection of plants. Pinus sylvestris Watereri, Cornus kousa Milky Way, Acer palmatum Ornatum, Rho- dodendron yakushimanum Koichiro Wada and the ornamental grass Molinia caerulea in planters form groups and families which offer wonderful contrasts to the crisp lines of the architecture. Amelanchier lamarkii, used for screening purposes, provide a shadowy retreat at the back of the house, which is inviting with its water feature, even on hot summer days. I am delighted to have created a garden which is enjoyed and used by the family and thus contributes every day to its members’ quality of life.
