Meanwhile in the station building The Hague Hollands Spoor

/in , /by

The new lift construction was recently built in the nationally listed station building The Hague HS. This is the first step towards making platform 1 fully accessible.

In addition to the elevator shaft, the ‘construction base’ of the new platform stairs is almost completed and the finishing work can begin.

In the passenger tunnel and the station hall, the spaces are starting to take shape and the new passages provide a clear and visual connection between the two.

Opening station Roermond

Roermond station has festively been opened!

Under the monumental roof construction of the former 1st class waiting room, a snack and a drink can be enjoyed again in the new Station Living Room. Under the beautifully restored stucco ceiling in the adjacent room is a temporary exhibition showing the transformation of the station.

A special find can also be seen in this exhibition. During the work, old service regulations from 1887 were found, which indicate which trains had to be waited for so that travelers could make their connection.

Year-end report 2022

/in /by

Ruland Architecten has worked on a wide range of projects in 2022. From a fence to a complete station building, the common denominator of the past year is the special monumental status of the projects. Ruland Architecten is steadily building up unique expertise in this area.Where rigorous interventions and ‘out of the box’ design visions are essential on one occasion, subtle adjustments in the spirit of the original design are required on other projects. The result of the working method and the great involvement of Ruland Architecten provides added value in the connection between the historical context and the interpretation of this modern era.

A lot of progress has been made to make platform 1 at The Hague Hollands Spoor station fully accessible.

An elevator will be built on a small ‘post stamp’ in the middle of the national monumental station building and the access to the platform and the passenger tunnel from the station concourse will be modified.

The beginning of the lift pit has recently been cleared and will soon be further excavated, minimizing the inconvenience to the traveler.

Preparations are being made on the platform to realize the new staircase.
