项目概况:

Waanders In de Broeren book store designed by BK. Architecten in 2013, covering an area of 1000 sqm, is located in Zwolle, The Netherlands.This innovative shop concept is established in the 15th century Broerenkerk. In the shop design three floors and ashopinterior are added to the church. With this new function the city of Zwolle maintains this unique cultural heritage site. The architectural concept of this shop in church is based on two, sometimes conflicting, elements. One is thehistorical value of this building. The space, the height, the long axis, the high arches, enormous stained glass windows, the ceiling paintings and the pipeorgan: this 15th century building really earned his place in the city ofZwolle. For the Waanders in de Broeren project we were asked to add about 700 square meter shopping floor to this dominican church. Our first goal was tokeep that first time historical feeling alive even with all those asked extra floor meters. So we wanted all the additions made to the church to be sober, inrespect to the church, modest. Therefore the 3 added floors are placed in the side wing of the church between the original pillars, outside the central ship.The construction of these floors isn’t connected to the church, so therefore inthe future the build in floors could be removed without demolishing thebuilding. The materials we used for our additions are all very pure and sober.We only used wood in 3 colours and white painted plastering work. So the maincolour palet in the store will come from the warm tints of the church and offcourse the colours of the books and other products.
