Dutch Building Developments – outwith major cities
New Netherlands Building Developments outwith major cities, alphabetical:
Armada, Palesikwartier, Den Bosch
Design: BDP
Armada Den Bosch : Architecture competition
The brief was to design a waterside residential development in an historic town, and to drive regeneration of a former industrial centre. The architectural design resulted in maximised natural light and views, minimised wind turbulence, and green energy: rooftop solar collectors supplement hot water supply.
Betty Blue – Retail Park Roermond
Design: NIO architecten
Retail Park Roermond
As unambiguous as this shopping machine is lying here on its doorstep, waiting for visitors, as ambiguous it is in relation to its shape and colour, it is sometimes straight and other times round, from the one side purple and from the other side blue. In the shelter of this enormous lifted and stretched drop of water, an inner square with almost exotic conditions has been shaped.
Bunker 599
Design: Atelier de Lyon | Rietveld Landscape
Bunker 599
This Bunker 599 project lays bare two secrets of the New Dutch Waterline (NDW), a military line of defence in use from 1815 until 1940 protecting the cities of Muiden, Utrecht, Vreeswijk and Gorinchem by means of intentional flooding. A seemingly indestructible bunker with monumental status is sliced open.
City Library Helmond
Design: Bolles+Wilson
City Library Helmond
Directly adjacent to the new library are the 1970’s Tree Houses and Theatre by Piet Blom. Here the new library facade is moulded and sloped in dialogue with its dramatic neighbour. A between space, a block internal café terrace, a comfortable and dramatic extension of the existing enclosed Theatre Square is the result of this spatial symbiosis.
CP Parenterals Organon, Oss
Design: Broekbakema
CP Parenterals Organon
Broekbakema has designed a new pharmaceutical factory for Schering-Plough in Oss (formerly Organon). Although it has already been completed and accepted, this production building is not yet operational.
Drents Museum, Assen
Design: Erick van Egeraat Architects
Dutch Museum building
In the design of the in 2011 re-opened Drents Museum, the existing Koetshuis has been given a new function as the Museum’s main entrance. The staff building is put on a glass plinth. In addition, underground spaces have been added, connecting the old and the new part.
Ginkgo Project, Beekbergen
Design: casanova+hernandez architecten
Ginkgo Apartments Building, Apeldoorn
The urban structure of Beekbergen, as many other small towns of the Netherlands, is composed mainly by large single family houses that are not affordable for young people and not suitable for older people with mobility problems.
