A new dawn, A new day.....

Bekkering Adams architecten becomes:
Studio Adams & Juliette Bekkering architecten.

After 15 years of enjoying working together on many great projects, we will continue as two independent offices.

As Bekkering Adams architects we engaged on a variety of special projects such as School Campus Peer (Belgium); Head office Esprit Benelux in Amstelveen and Schuurman Group, Alkmaar; Urban ensemble ‘Bloemershof’ in Dieren; Firestation in Doetinchem; Installation ‘Form-ContraForm’ for the Biennale in Venice (Italy) and many more.

From January 2020 Monica Adams will operate under the name Studio Adams and Juliette Bekkering will combine her work at Eindhoven University of Technology (Tu/e) with her new office Juliette Bekkering architecten.

The station is situated on the edge of a green area between the cities of Middelburg and Vlissingen in the southwest of The Netherlands. Because of the rural qualities of this area the landscape is incorporated into the design. It is built up out of two L-shaped volumes that intertwine. The volumes embrace an enclosed inner patio-garden, located on the first floor. Whereas one of the L-shaped volumes houses the remittance and the workshops, the other houses the dressing rooms and offices. Visitors enter the building through the entrance hall that is directly connected to the patio on the first floor. Several views through the remittance and workshops show the daily routine of the station. The volume, being a result of the various tilted roofs and large cantilevers, provides the building with its specific sculptural qualities and connects it with the landscape. A large concrete zigzag slab, appearing like a movable fence, supports the volume. This abstraction of the letters V and M also reveal that the station houses the local fire departments of Vlissingen and Middelburg.
