Town hall

Between Veluwezoom National Park and the IJssel Valley in Gelderland, in the eastern Netherlands, the new Rheden Town Hall by DP6 Architectuurstudio and Zenber Architecten occupies a site with a layered history — once home to a 17th-century inn and later the well-known Hotel De Engel, a local landmark tied to artist Theo Goedvriend. With a reduced footprint compared to its predecessor, the new building creates room for a public entrance and garden while reinforcing connections between the municipality’s seven villages.

Tynaarlo is the name of the local authority in Drenthe which has been created from the fusion of Eelde, Vries, Paterswolde, Zuidlaren and several small villages. The new town hall is not situated in one of the cores of Tynaarlo, but outside, in beautiful surroundings that will look even better after having been tidied up. The white steel and glass building nestles in this luxuriant natural setting like a Modernist jewel. It has an allure that you usually only find in the head offices of large corporations and in luxurious villas such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Farnsworth House, but rarely in civic buildings, especially in the Netherlands. The underground car park prevents the idyll of a radiant building in the countryside from being dist... More
