Portlantis is the place where you can discover and experience the port of Rotterdam, now and in the future. It is an educational experience center of over 3,500m², spread over four floors and a rooftop terrace, located in the heart of a world port also called: the house of the port.

Bruns was the main contractor and realised as developer and producer Portlantis, together with the Port of Rotterdam, design agency Kossmanndejong, AV and lighting partner Ata Tech, and several software partners.

Each floor in the experience center has its own theme, aligned with the area visible through the glass side. Each wind direction shows a different part of the Maasvlakte area, and the interactives match these view themes. Bruns was responsible for the outdoor showcases in the dunes, outdoor exhibits on the rooftop terrace, and the full interior of the ground, first, second, and third floors.
