The former office of the Rabobank in Nijkerk has been transformed and now houses all the employees of Nijkerk’s town hall. Whereby the newly built eyecatcher of the building on the Van ‘t Hoffstraat houses the new council chamber. As structural engineer we are involved in this project to create the most optimal structural design; which fits within a tight budget.
The transparent architecture of this city hall provides a lot of light and a beautiful view from the outside. Whereby the steel construction functions on its own and is completely shaped to the contours of the building. As a result, many connections have been made on strength.
