Kwakkel Showroom
Located in
a newly formed industrial area within the municipality of Apeldoorn between the
city center and the national highway, Kwakkel, which distributes building and
sanitary ware, required new facilities for their diverse program;
administration, showroom, storage, service area, as well as cafeteria and
restaurant overlaying the customary showroom program with additional public
use.Occupying
the entire site, the program was equally divided into exterior and interior
spaces. The main volume, which consists of interior program, was stretched
laterally across the site, following its sinuous profile, while at the same
time distributing storage and parking areas on the remainder of the site.The various users, whether on foot or
traveling by vehicle, enter the premises by passing underneath the center of
the main volume. From here the
main entrance hall, which is similarly accessible form the two main exterior
spaces, is revealed and functions both as cashier, security and transfer point.
It’s main stairway leads to the upper level program that consists of
exhibition, office, cafeteria and restaurant space. Large terraces at either
end of the building extend the upper level program.The two
levels are spatially and visually connected via staircase and roof and floor
perforations, which convert to internal patios in the showroom. Their
configurations organize a internal route through the building, in which the
users perception alters between focusing on presentations and relaxing within
the external patios.With the
exception for the clear glazed foyer, the building is completely enveloped in
translucent white polycarbonate panels. The translucent skin, combined with the
various internal patios carved into the volume of the building, form various
lighting effects along its articulated surface. This, along with the strong
vertical frame of the polycarbonate panels enhances the geometry of the
building whilst altering and shifting the perception of it from various vantage
points.
