Work
Vondel Verses
In 2012, Anouk Vogel, together with architect Johan Selbing, designed a series of cast-iron benches and drinking fountains for Vondelpark in Amsterdam [3] . Known as the Vondelhappertjes, the fountains are engraved with Dutch sayings and literary fragments, linking everyday public infrastructure to cultural expression [11] . The project formed part of a wider commission to renew the park’s furniture and facilities, and is frequently cited as an example of Vogel’s approach to combining functionality with narrative and symbolism in landscape design [5] .
Mirror House
In 2013, Vogel collaborated with architect Johan Selbing on the Mirror House in Almere, the Netherlands [3] . The compact dwelling was clad in reflective glass panels, designed to visually merge with its surroundings and blur the boundary between architecture and landscape [12] . The project was the winning entry of a municipal competition for experimental housing and has been widely published in architectural media [13] [14] .
Bahrain Pavilion, Expo 2015
Vogel contributed as part of the design team for the Bahrain Pavilion at Expo 2015 in Milan, Italy. The pavilion, designed by Dutch architect Anne Holtrop [15] , featured a series of ten open-sided concrete “chapels” housing fruit trees, evoking the historic agricultural landscapes of Bahrain [16] . The project was awarded the Silver Medal for Architecture and Landscape at the exposition [17] . Vogel’s role focused on the integration of planting and landscape elements within the pavilion’s modular garden structures.
Gardens at Jameel Arts Centre
In 2018, Vogel designed a suite of seven courtyard gardens for the Jameel Arts Centre in Dubai, working with Serie Architects [18] . Each garden represents a distinct desert biome (such as Arabian, Australian, Namibian, Chihuahuan, Socotran, Sonoran, and Madagascar’s Spiny Forest), and includes locally adapted or endangered plant species drawn from desert ecology [19] . Vogel’s gardens at Jameel provide moments of quiet reflection between gallery spaces and help blur boundaries between built architecture and living landscape [20] [21] .
Westersingel Bridge
Westersingel Bridge in Rotterdam, located on the Westersingel near Kortenaerstraat. This bridge was designed by Studio Selva and Anouk Vogel Landscape Architecture.
