We also used various forms of natural and artificial lighting. We paid careful attention to the expressive façade. Therefore, attainment of a BREEAM Excellent label was one of the leading aims for the design. A sustainable approach is very important for a Casino program, where heavy ventilation and lighting requirements occur throughout the whole programming of the entertainment floor. From the very first beginning of the design phase, we took the installation of solar panels into account. On the rooftop of the building we also designed a space for office purposes, including a garden for personnel of the Holland Casino. The design of the public area reinforces the ambition to create a green ‘running’ path around Kanaleneiland in the near future. On the other side is situated a public square including greenery and terraces as well as recreation facilities. On one side you’ll find the entrance for Casino visitors. Holland Casino is situated at a prominent corner. The bold, gold-coloured panels express ‘A celebration of its function and size’. We designed the eye-catching façade of the building as one gesture. A sculptural design with a spatial appearance, because of its triangular shape and its reflections in the water of the adjacent canal. Holland Casino is a strong and prominent building, which stands out and is easy accessible due to its location along the A12 in the south of Utrecht. This is tangible in the layering of the striking glass façade, emphasizing the essential aspect of the design ‘to attract and connect different kinds of visitors’. In addition, the concept stimulates interaction between visitors indoors and the crowd in the public space. The building also reinforces the desired urban developments of this area in the near future. This way we created an inviting gesture to enter. The design opens over the entire entrance tapering to a point.

The building includes an entertainment floor with accompanying catering facilities as well as a spacious parking garage. The new Holland Casino design consists of a diamond-shaped building.
