这是由荷兰建筑师VenhoevenCS在阿姆斯特丹建造的一座休闲中心，名为SportPlaza Mercator。这是一座花花草草覆盖下的城堡，位于De Baarsjes社区花园的入口处。建筑师想要使之与周边环境融为一体，所以在建筑外种上了浓密的花草。远处看去，这是一座葱葱郁郁的堡垒，守护着通往19世纪城市的入口。在这面爬满植物的墙壁后，有一栋三层高的建筑，建筑包括一个游泳池、一个桑拿浴室、一个健身房、同时还有活动厅、快餐店、咖啡店及一个托儿所。建筑后方还有一个露天游泳池。为了增强游泳室私密性，窗户上装了有色玻璃，同时装上了天窗，以便照进更多的自然光。这栋建筑是在2006年竣工的，但最近被提名绿色建筑奖（Green Building Award），该奖是由荷兰Dak & Gevel Groen杂志社颁发的。
This leisure centre in Amsterdam by Dutch architects VenhoevenCS was designed as a fortress covered in plants. SportPlaza Mercator is positioned at the entrance to a park in the De Baarsjes neighbourhood. The architects wanted it to fit in with its surroundings， so they added a camouflaging facade of bushy plants and flowers. "From a distance， it seems like an overgrown fortress flanking and protecting the entryway to the nineteenth century city." Behind the planted walls， the three-storey building contains swimming pools， a sauna and fitness studios， as well as an events hall， a fast-food restaurant， a cafe and a nursery. An outdoor pool is also included at the rear. Windows nestle in amongst the planted exterior but feature tinted glass to reduce visibility into the swimming-pool halls. Skylights were also added to bring in more natural light. The building was completed in 2006 but recently picked up a nomination for the inaugural Green Building Award， organised by Dak & Gevel Groen magazine in the Netherlands.
