荷兰小岛RO&AD Architecten上的古代防御性堡垒在当今已失去防御作用，被用作小型公共与私人会所职能。RO&AD建筑事务所被委托在此地设计公厕与零售信息亭。

Short History The Ravelijn “Op den Zoom” is a fort-island of the city of Bergen op Zoom in The Netherlands which is made in the beginning of the 18th century by Menno van Coehoorn, a famous fort builder. This is the only “ravelijn” of him still present. The island sits just outside of the former center of the city. At the end of the 19th century the fortress lost its defensive function. Nowadays the island-fort is mainly used for small public and private events.

The assignment The assignment was to make a kiosk with public toilets and an information point on the Ravelijn

防御性堡垒由一圈闭合厚土墙组成。建筑师直接将新建筑建造在土墙中，并向内开放。两个卫生间的入口被分开。零售信息亭位于厕所中间，立面木板可以被支起，而顶部的玻璃天花为建筑内部提供了良好的采光。

这是恰到好处融入环境，并具有鲜明风格的小建筑。

Concept The fort is made of a brick foundation with earth walls on top. The earth walls surround the fort on all sides. But the wall at the side of the city is not an original one. In times of war this one was not necessary, because there was no attack expected from that side. We used exact that not historic earth wall to make the kiosk in it. It sits on the side and it’ s incorporated in the fort. We made 2 entrances, one for each toilet. The information point is accessible through those entrances. In the information point there is a glass roof to provide daylight. There is a big horizontal, gas-spring operated hatch at the front.

Material The kiosk is made entirely out of Accoya
