SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
The Dutch Province of the Jesuits has had a (care) house for their elderly in Nijmegen for years. Because the population is shrinking the building became too big and they were looking for a replacement. In the Park Brakkenstein, 700m away, a residential building is erected for them. In the same park is an abandoned printworks building from the 30s with an industrial atmosphere. This building was purchased to house all the supporting functions for the residential building: refectory (restaurant), offices, archives and a library. The overall plan is designed in a team: Diederendirrix designs the residential building, Kees Tolk is the landscape designer and EVA architecten is designing former publishing building or in Dutch: “the Drukkerij”.
The historic value of the printing works was appraised, at which it appeared that earlier extensions had hardly any architectural, spatial or functional added value. Therefore they are ‘peeled off’, until the first building phase plus one later enlargement remain. At the park side, a new extension will be built in a rhythmic bronze colored metal facade so you can clearly read what is old and new. The facade of the ground floor level is left as transparent as possible to maximize the view on the park. The first-floor facade is made of anodized aluminum slats. The closed parts will
have the effect of a printing plate, subtly referring to the past of the building as a printing works. This is designed by
visual artist Marc Ruygrok. The building will be CO2 and energy neutral.
