Handle with Care, designers public space, were asked to design the outside area around outlet shopping centre Bataviastad in 2006
The ambience we created is about an old Dutch courtyard. All the materials, all the vegetation and the furniture are part of this atmosphere.
A big attraction is a spermwhale of 7,5 meter long.
