was the architect for the Eemhuis. The builders were Euramax, Harry van Interieurbouw, IFS-SGT, and Q-railing: the building was completed in 2014.
In order to build the Eemhuis the municipality had to buy out a 30 lease from a tenant who had rights to the property. The construction also had a 5 million dollar cost overrun.
The front of the building has three cantilevered sections which hang over a plaza entrance. The structure houses a library, a school of the arts, and large exhibition spaces. On the first floor of the building there is a 5500 m library: considered one of the most beautiful of the 154 libraries in the Netherlands. Each of the cantilevered sections is used for different departments: music, arts and theatre. Community archives are found in the center of the building.
