Location: Maassluis, Netherlands.

Architect: Kraaijvanger.

The Koningshof arts centre features an atrium that connects various facilities, including a library, music school, meeting centre, theatre, and medical care facilities. The atrium serves as a central meeting area with a copper wind instrument-shaped bar. The library is a newly rebuilt corner building with a curved wall entrance and a slender bridge connecting the exhibition area with offices. A copper-clad bar area also serves as a footbridge to the music school. The design incorporates voids and wall openings to create dynamic sight lines.
