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 ‘viewers platform’ is located next to the Brienenoordbrug in Rotterdam and is a proposal for a movable tower complex from where one can enjoy the panorama of the skyline of Rotterdam. The building is situated on the northern pylon of the bridge. It can be reached via a new drive-way on the east side of the bridge parallel to the existing road.  The building exists of three parts:

1. A fixed tower, where one can see and be seen. Where you can enjoy a meal or a drink and enjoy the panorama. Where one can rent a suite in the hotel or have a business meeting with a spectacular view on the sky-line of Rotterdam. 

2. A “balancing building” where one can drive the car in and be deported together with the car to great heights, from where one can look over the city and the harbour. 

3. A bridge to connect the platform to the main land.  

The building manifests itself as an ever changing composition, because of the moving parts of the building. Together with the existing bridge it forms a sculptural ensemble and marks the entrance of the city.
