The local public library is housed in a charming old mansion – a former shoe factory built in 1922 – in the centre of Niel. It has two floors and is divided into several small rooms. The floor area is 1018 sq. m., a small part of which is used by the Red Cross. The building has a warm and homely atmosphere. Unfortunately these are its only assets; the building no longer complies with the minimum standards of fire safety and accessibility. Nor is it any longer fit for contemporary library practices.
The functions and activities that are the essence of the library impose new requirements on the accommodation. The challenge is to be able to fit this into a space where the various functions can be performed. The library is after all more than just a place for lending; it is also a workspace, a place for learning, a place for culture and a meeting place.
A library should be inviting and provide a range of possibilities for the use of present-day technology. It offers a balanced relationship between ease of use, comfortable working conditions for the staff and efficient management.
The assignment is in two parts: on the one hand the conversion of the existing building, i.e. reorganising the rooms and making them more suitable, while retaining the architectural appearance. On the other hand, an extension is necessary to provide sufficient space for the services to be provided.
All-inclusive fee for building between 10% and 12%, excl. VAT (but incl. stability, technical installations and landscape)
Optional:
Fee for furnishings between 2% and 4%
Fee for landscaping between 5.5% and 7.5%
