Binnenhof & Gelderhof
Around a public square a new housing complex is combined with two schools, kindergarten, several community functions, a small theatre and an underground parking. The street façades of the houses have vertical stripes, of stone and glass. Through this pattern diagonal white stripes are drawn. The façades on the public square side have a warmer look with red panels and glass. The multifunctional centre combines several public functions in an optimal setting and each user has a personal identity in the whole complex. All users were consulted during the process and had influence in the design. Erick van Egeraat Architects were initially commissioned to design the building, and cooperated in this project up to the preliminary design. After that, Hillen & Roosen - the project developer - took over.

It is a (moe or less) common procedure to take over the building process after completion of the definitive design (in this case by van egeraat) by the project developer.
Hillen & Roosen are the contractors, not the designers.
