Opening City Offices Utrecht

Yesterday the new City Offices in Utrecht have been opened for the public. The prominent building is situated right next to the central train station and has been designed by Kraaijvanger. It is characterized by white composite facade elements. In contrast, Octatube has built the 1100 square meters large curtain wall facade and a glass windscreen.

The glass entrance facade opens up a large public hall and is both from the station as from the inside a big eye-catcher. Particular about this faccade is the fact that it is completely suspended.

We would like to refer to the news items below and the project page of the City Offices for more information. Also the (architecture) media has reported on the iconic building:
