Theater De Bussel/Theek 5
The facade of De Bussel theatre facing the public space refers to a theatre curtain, or the curtain of a living room. The varying openings in the facade create a fascinating scene between the Basiliekplein and Torenplein squares. The mezzanine edge of the first floor elegantly weaves through the building to create an array of different spaces. The facades use brickwork in a subtly shaded color that fits in with the paving and the existing building. The building has a green roof, so the occupants of the apartments and the hotel have a lovely view of the ‘fifth facade’.
The building also connects with the history of the site, which used to feature a number of full-grown trees. The fly tower of the existing Bussel theatre features a large decorative brickwork tree. Other locations in the new building also use trees as a main theme to connect with the past. The new supporting structure in the foyer for example, will include a striking array of tree-shaped columns that will be visible from outside, and the interior decoration will feature tree prints.
