For the construction of the original hotel (1988-1992) the council allowed for future expansion. In 2001, Ruland + Partner Architekten bna, now Ruland Architecten, was asked to research options for doubling the capacity. The city plan was also amended at the time, expansion of the hotel was now allowed at the rear of the building only, over the railroad tracks.<\/p>\n<p>The design takes into account the city planning boundary conditions as well as the sensitivity of the location. The existing hotel is not held in high regard by the public and the expansion plans initially met with a lot of criticism. Fears that the new building would detract from the Cuypers bocage and obscure the view of the monumental roof construction of the Central Station have proved unfounded.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_slideshow_full  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The expansion has been carefully designed as an object that inserts itself in an inimitable way into the city planning ensemble. The design shows that usage of multiple rooms over the railway tracks does not inevitably lead to a heavy mass. By lifting the volume the line of sight over the railway tracks and platforms is maintained, as is the open space between the hotel and the new wing. The reflection of the fa\u00e7ade cladding and the rounded-off shapes give the building a modest expression.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion provides room for 187 new hotel rooms, two emergency staircases, elevators and technical rooms with a total surface of 5,500 sqare metres spread out over six storeys. The first and second storey of the wing are connected to the fourth and fifth storey of the existing hotel by a double walkway. The service walkway on the west side is intended for hotel staff and doubles as an emergency escape route.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div

><p>The building is mounted on its \u2018feet\u2019 asymmetrically; the five portals have been distributed with even specing but the building juts out further on the east side than on the west side. The shape of the sheet steel and concrete portals has been determined by the demands of ProRail concerning crowd flow and the desire to put as little mass as possible on the railway platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The fa\u00e7ades have been clad in Tecuzinn\u00a9, a copper cladding with a tin-coated upper layer that over time shows the patina of the copper. The material is resistant against the metal shavings released by stopping trains and overhead wires. The fa\u00e7ade is marked moreover by the varying constructions of the fa\u00e7ade openings. The curved prefab concrete shell elements on the underside of the building have been attached between the portals. The concrete finish has been left in sight and is illuminated at night by the lights incorporated into the portals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_slideshow_full  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Building over the railways placed specific demands on the execution. There was no building site, planning was to be synchronised with the railway timetable and the use of the very busy Central Station adjacent to the site. Trains were not to be hindered during the construction and out-of-service periods were to be minimised.<\/p>\n<p>A work platform was constructed at a considerable height above the tracks, and on that platform the ground floor and the steel portals were assembled. After the platform was removed, the construction was levered back onto the foundation on the platforms after which the remaining floors were constructed. To reduce vibrations from train traffic, steel springs have been installled in the foundation. This project acts as a pilot for future over-track construction.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='full_slider_4'
