Public transport terminal Breda
2004-2016

 
The public transport terminal is a spatial building with a recognisable identity as a station, a meaningful and self-evident point of orientation in the city. The building has not been designed as a multifunctional complex containing a public transport interchange but as a station in which a substantial and complex program has been combined into a single strong recognisable form as an essential part of the city.

The design puts the various types of users on the forefront; in particular the traveller. This is expressed in clear and accessible spaces with a pleasant atmosphere, easy wayfinding, plenty of comfort and of ‘Dutch allure’. The perspectives and contact with the outside make the building well-ordered,
contribute to a simple navigation and to a building which is an explicitly integral part of its surroundings.

The public transport terminal is the centre point of a wider, ambitious urban development in which a former industrial area and marshalling yard is transformed into a vibrant new urban quarter. The complex has been designed as a perfectly integrated part of and for the city of Breda: full of character and firmly interwoven with the surrounding buildings.

De public transport terminal was awarded the Best Building of the Year award 2017 by the Association of Dutch Architects.
