Gemaakt van composiet:

Busstation 'The Giant Whale Jaw'

Met zijn opvallende, vrijgevormde vorm, ontworpen door NIO-Architecten, is dit wellicht het meest bijzondere busstation ter wereld. Het gebouw is opgebouwd uit EPS schuim en bekleed met glasvezelersterkt kunststof composiet, afgewerkt met een oranje glittercoating. Op het moment van bouwen het grootste kunststf gebouw uit 1 stuk ter wereld!

In 2003 won Poly Products er de 3e prijs mee in de categorie 'Composiet product van het jaar 2003' op het Nationaal Composiet Congres

The Amazing Whale Jaw in Hoofddorp

At the beginning of the year 2003 a bus station was built on the forecourt of Hoofddorp's Spaarne Hospital. This facilities block is located in the middle of a square and is a public area in the form of an island that serves as a junction for the local bus service. The design of this kind of building is generally neutral, but here the aim was to create a strong, individual image that was less austere and generic. Hence, the building was designed in the tradition of Oscar Niemeyer as a cross between white modernism and black Baroque.
