Rabobank - Utrecht

Architect Kraaijvanger, Urbis Developer Rabobank Nederland Contractor Bouwcombinatie Heijmans Bouw / J.P. van Eesteren VOF

The new building of the Rabobank in Utrecht, consists of two oval towers of 105 m high, which is slightly lower the bell tower of the cathedral and therefore the maximum allowed height for high rise buildings in Utrecht. The facades of the towers consist of 16.500 m2 of natural ventilated double skin panels, with a shiplapped external skin, and 2.000 m2 of 10 m high stainless steel rooftop cladding. A seven meters high plaza around the towers connects the existing buildings at the Croeselaan, of which the curtain wall is supported by internal, 7m high glass fins.
