2008 / 2e finalist meervoudige aanbesteding De Parade
In cooperation with
Atelier Quadrat i.c.w. Blom&Moors / Het Luxlab

Atelier Quadrat reached the final round of the multiple tender with its plan for the redevelopment of the square, the Parade in 's-Hertogenbosch. In the plan, the chestnut trees on the Parade will be maintained. A new floor of Swedish granite pebbles extends from the Hinthamerstraat to the Casino Gardens. In cooperation with Blom&Moors and Het Luxlab detailed proposals were made for design elements and square lighting, which were specially designed for the square, including stone benches, bike support and hanging lights.

Two long stone benches form seating areas on both the northeast and the southwestof the square. They also form a composition with a strip in the stone floor. The benches can be used on both sides, with views on the square and the surrounding area.

The cycle supports consist of a series of strong, adjacent vertical strips that are connected underground. Through an opening in the steel pill form, the bikes can be mounted.

The square lighting consists of lighting hanging from the trees as some large masts accentuate the larger open spaces. By day, the procession of chestnut trees is a sheltered place, while at night the foliage is illuminated. The device features look reluctant and join in the quiet image of the square.
