The 21 regional Police Control Rooms in the Netherlands have been merged into one National Control Room. With its catchment area of 3.2 million inhabitants, the combined Police Housing and 112 Control Room in Apeldoorn is the largest of the ten new locations. From 2022, police, fire and ambulance services will work together in this building.
waking eye
The design consists of two elongated volumes, one of which is spectacularly cantilevered transverse to the head of the other. In the stacking is a high atrium that acts as an entrance. The cascading staircases also make this the connecting zone between all floors. The stacked volume has fully transparent facades at both ends that refer to the users' 'waking eye'. With its sturdy, corten steel facades, the building fits in well with its surroundings.

optimal flexibility
The low-rise building has a completely clear span. It houses the control room, where calls come in and are handled. The atrium is a mix of meeting and landing workplaces, and connects the ground floor with the top floor. The upper building features office and meeting rooms. At the cantilevers, the upper section is also completely column-free. This allows optimal flexibility of layout and use.

healthy environment
The building receives generous daylight and good control of temperature and air quality. It also has pleasant acoustics and is created with a minimum of materials, which are also sustainable. The interior is designed with warm, earthy tones and materials. It includes accents based on the natural environment of the Veluwe.
