Text description provided by the architects. Since the completion of De Eekenhof Enschede is able to boast an exceptional new building. This new structure, a conspicuous architectural statement, is remarkable in many respects. Firstly thanks to its prominent position it is at the heart of Roombeek, a new residential district which has literally risen from the ashes of the area destroyed by the 2000 fireworks disaster (and which won the 2007 ‘Golden Pyramid’ award for excellence in architectural commissioning). Its unique character can be attributed to its specific location at the intersection of several important roads, pedestrian routes and lines of sight. The building is positioned at the junction of two key axes intersecting the district, Roomweg and the Lonnekerspoorlaan. When approached from the town centre on foot it stands in the line of sight of the pedestrianized Museumlaan, which is part of the new “cultural axis” being developed by the local municipality. Above all however, the building commands a great sense of presence due to its highly sculptured form.
