The New Hondsbossche Dunes [by Adriaan Geuze/West 8 Urban Design & Landscape Architecture] is a huge project that will replace existing dikes at Hondsbossche and the Pettemer seawalls - the last weak links in the extensively and heavily reinforced Dutch coast.

Thirty-five million cubic meters of sand will be used to sculpt this vulnerable stretch of beach into a new recreational area that will attract wildlife and provide protection from the North Sea for another 50 years. Once the eight-kilometer project is completed, it will become Europe’s longest uninterrupted dunescape.
