Central Park, Utrecht, NL

The Central Park offices tower – ninety-meter high building – will be placed next to the municipality office. Because of a constriction of height of 45 meters, the volume is divided into two volumes. This horizontal accent has two layers and connects to the municipality office. In contrast to the office façade, the facade of the constellation is completely transparent and sculpturally shaped at the top and bottom. The interior includes a courtyard and meeting place. Construction of Central Park started in April 2019.

More Less

The office facade has a subtly profiled structure and construction. For reasons of sustainability, less glass is introduced in places with a lot of sunlight and for places with less sun exposure, vice versa. In special places, where there is a view of striking buildings in the city, this standard is deviated.

Together with Central Park, GROUP A designed the Public City Plateau – ‘The Forum’, an elevated and green square with a parking garage underneath. Because of its connection with the plateau – situated at the same level as the OV terminal – integration of the building in the city is strengthened.
