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.

Because Rotterdam The Hague Airport’s old 1970 departure hall was outdated and becoming too small, a need arose for a new terminal. A terminal with a much larger capacity, but which had to fit in well with the character and image of the airport. Not a megalomaniac anonymous building, but a pleasant building with plenty of daylight, designed to make passengers feel comfortable. A sustainable building too, including a mossedum roof.

An upstairs gymnasium was a nice challenge within this project. So was the application of vegetable bins on the roofs. Pelecon advised the municipality of Amstelveen on constructions.
