City Hall Refurbishment in Heinkenszand
- Peter Popp
In 1970 more than a dozen villages in the Dutch coastal province Zeeland consolidated. The community they formed is called Borsele. Since then the town Heinkenszand has served as the administrative centre for the 25,000 residents. After some thirty years of use, the existing city hall was in urgent need of refurbishment. However, due to the limited budget it was clear that very little change could be made to the building’s awkward geometry. Therefore the adaptation – whether related to the required rooms or energy efficiency – had to be achieved through means of technical and aesthetic renovation of the existing spaces and surfaces.
