CONSERVATORY MAASTRICHT

P.H. DINGEMANS, 1961-1965, Bonnefantenstraat 15, Maastricht

ARCHITECT(URAL OFFICE):
Piet Dingemans

BUILDING TYPE:
Buildings for education

The fanciful plan, volume and sloping roof were all inspired by the old flour mill, since demolished, across the river. The local red brick, the stone cladding of the concrete frame and the blue slate roof are all characteristic of timber-framing in the Limburg region. The ground floor contains the entrance, lecturers' rooms and triple-height concert hall, the upper floors tuition rooms of various shapes and sizes and the basement a recording studio and rehearsal rooms.
