THIS BUILDING HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED

ARCHITECT(URAL OFFICE):
Michiel Polak

BUILDING TYPE:
Sociocultural buildings

STATE:
demolished in 1991

Adjoined by a twelve-sided hall is the rectangular main block with on the ground floor an encounter area and a café for young people, and on the upper level meeting and creativity spaces. Housed in two smaller buildings is a toddlers' playroom. All volumes have corrugated gable roofs. 'Bonanza'-style facades of brightly coloured window and door frames and overlapping sections of undressed wood stand out gaily against the greyness of the surrounding flats. The building was demolished in 1991.
