Dudok designed the pond Kastanjevijver (1935) in Hilversum as a place of relaxation for the surrounding neigbourhood around it, for which he desgined the urban development plan and not the houses. The pond is also a collecting basin for rainwater. From the viewing platform one looks northwards over the water surface and southwards over a park strip to the heath.
