The masterplan for this area began by demolishing an office building and redesigning Burchtstraat in a more curved form to clear a triangular space (Mariënburgplein) around the historic chapel on site and slip a new shopping route into the existing pattern of streets. This was done to achieve a multifunctional mix of housing, shops, offices and public amenities. Offices and cultural facilities including the new library, the municipal records office and the LUX theatre and film centre cluster around the new Mariënburgplein to a design by Jos van Eldonk. The housing and shops in the revamped Burchtstraat are by Joris Molenaar (west side) and Vera Yanovshtchinsky (east side).
