The Zwarte Silo is an important iconic building which marks the beginning of the harbor area. It lends itself perfectly well for a large public function that attracts people from the region and bring liveliness into the area.
Atelier PRO architects have been selected to create the interior design for the new Town Hall Quarter in Deventer. The Deventer municipality has opted for flexibility, sustainability, cooperation and interaction as the major basic principles for this interior.
The new city hall in Deventer unites the old historical city hall with a new city office. The new building complex is located at the ‘Grote Kerkhof’ and extends as far as the ‘Burseplein’. The 24.000 m2 large project consists of 20.000 m2 new buildings and 4.000 m2 renovation and restoration of existing listed monuments. The project consists of an entrance building with a main building behind it and unites all of Deventer’s employees, formerly divided over the city, under one new roof. It houses the city council and all municipal services and invigorates a formerly forgotten part of the inner city.
The Havenkwartier in Deventer is transforming from a site of companies to a vivid socio-economical urban area. With the conservation of old distinctive buildings and new firm and sturdy houses which accompany the industrial “harbour architecture”, House IT is a compact urban residence with a robust appearance.
