From Shelter to System
From site infrastructure to HEX900 | Where our structural DNA took shape
The briefing
It started with shelter. It didn’t stay there for long. What began as practical infrastructure solutions grew into a complete landscape of stretch tent structures.
More than a festival
A temporary world where people from across the globe come together - nature, music, art, workshops, and the occasional deep conversation at 3am. Set in De Groene Ster (NL), stretch structures felt right from the start, and behaved themselves when the weather didn’t.
Building a village
What started with the basics, site-infrastructure solutions, food areas, cinema spaces and stage covers, quickly grew into something bigger. Each year added a layer. More people, more functions, more ideas. At some point, it stopped being about tents. And started becoming a eco system.
We didn’t plan the system. We designed it.
Over the years, the site evolved into a large-scale stretch structure landscape - covering nearly 4000 m² across stages, public areas and operational zones. From site-infrastructure solutions to food areas, cinema spaces and festival stage covers.
When weather ruled out an open fire, the answer became a hexagonal chimney- covered by a hexagonal stretch tent structure, keeping the atmosphere and losing the rain problem while keeping openness and flow intact.
What started as separate temporary event structures became a system - modular, scalable and ready for whatever came next.
