2010-01-07 't Karregat Eindhoven
NEXT architects with ADP architecten participated in the invited competition for the redevelopment of ‘t Karregat, the famous seventies community center by Frank van Klingeren in Eindhoven. The design proposal contains the conservation of the umbrella-like roof structure from the 1970’s together with a total mix-up of the existing program. By placing the sports hall in de center of the building we created an open space referring to the public space that once filled the complex with air and light. Trough an intelligent use of the natural height differences the various programmatic elements can be combined to form a continuous space that provides the possibility to organize social events for the neighborhood.
