Music hall TivoliVredenburg

TivoliVredenburg (Muziekpaleis Utrecht) combines the former Muziekcentrum Vredenburg (MCV), the poppodium Tivoli and the Foundation Jazz Utrecht (SJU). For that purpose, the former Muziekcentrum Vredenburg  has been extended with 4 new music halls. Above the new "Pop"hall, the Crossover hall and the Jazz hall have been situated. The new (round) chamber music hall has been built cantilivering above the existing  Symphony hall. Because of the large spans necessary for the halls, the structure has been made in steel. The spine of the building are two connected concrete cores, which in turn support the steel structure. The foyers, restaurants and 'squares' are situated between the halls as 'public' area.

Centrum voor Kunst en Cultuur (CKC)

In the past, the music school, dance school and the public university in Zoetermeer were located in different locations. They have now been merged into one new building: the Centrum voor Kunst & Cultuur (centre for arts & culture).
In the Centrum voor Kunst & Cultuur several rooms have been designed for music lessons. Large rehearsal spaces and an auditorium have been created. The auditorium features retractable stands. Large overhangs have been realised by using concrete hollow-core slabs. The fan shape in the floors has been realised by placing in-situ concrete strips between the hollow-core slabs. The vertical load bearing structure is incorporated into the façade and the “inside façade”. Beneath the building a parking garage has been built. Another underground split-level parking garage has been realised next to the CKC.
Zonneveld ingenieurs was responsible for the design of the main bearing structure of the building.
