B&Eau (pronounced ‘B and O’) was founded in 2024 by Olaf Boxman. He is a true water park guy and has years of experience as a designer of water parks and swimming pools. Indoor and outdoor, large and small, and involving new construction, transformations, and expansions.
About the founder
Olaf Boxman is trained as a landscape architect and has extensive experience as a designer and master planner of complex spatial projects. In the Netherlands, he has worked on a wide range of realized projects, varying from city boulevards and residential areas to sports parks and ecological corridors.
Leisure forms the common thread throughout his career. Olaf was involved in drafting master plans for amusement parks, designing complete holiday parks, and developing creative concepts for experience and entertainment centers.
From 2015 to 2023, he worked as a master planner and designer of swimming pools and water parks for ProSlide Technology, the world’s leading supplier of water attractions. In that role, he was involved in more than 200 water park projects worldwide. Some leading references include Siam Park, Atlantis Dubai, Volcano Bay, and Great Wolf Lodge.
Closer to home, he worked on projects including Hof van Saksen, Aqualibi, Rulantica, Aquadiver, Waterworld, Warner Beach, Zoomarine and Aquopolis Villanueva de la Cañada.
This international experience forms the foundation of B&Eau: deep market knowledge, design quality and a sharp eye for both guest experience and operations.
