New landmark
Holland Casino in Venlo has an impressive façade and outdoor area with prefab elements with integrated LED lighting. With spectacular design and craftsmanship in execution, this has become a new landmark for the region. On 16 October 2018, the first piling ceremony was performed for the construction of the Holland Casino in Venlo. Earlier this year, construction was fully completed and the casino opened for high-level gaming and dining enthusiasts. The spectacular design, in the shape of a flower with interactive sequin facade, is by MVSA Architects, Arcadis and Gensler. With a height of 25 metres, its distinct design and interactive LED lighting, the new casino has become a landmark. Holland Casino Venlo's cradle-to-cradle ambitions were also taken into account in its construction. Thus, circular materials were used for the building and sustainable paving stones for the outdoor area.
Prefabricated with LED lighting
The casino's interactive façade with LED lighting can transform to display all kinds of patterns and colours. An impressive sight to behold. The entrance also feels very welcoming, where an illuminated path has been created. The entrance features precast concrete bands with integrated LED lighting. In consultation with the contractor De Enk Groen & Golf B.V., MBI made special recesses in the precast bands for the LED lighting. In addition, MBI supplied prefab steps made of washed-out basalt that were placed at the front of the building for accessibility. The prefab elements are very strong, low-maintenance and bear the KOMO quality mark. Curious about the possibilities with our custom-made Prefab Elements? Ask for a no-obligation consultation.
Reflective paving
During the construction of Holland Casino Venlo, sustainability was an important aspect. Therefore, efforts were made in many ways to make the building as sustainable as possible. For instance, a rainwater harvesting system was installed and concrete granulate was partly obtained from demolition work. When designing the outdoor area, sustainable paving solutions were also sought. The car park, for instance, is equipped with GeoColor Excellent concrete bricks. This has a natural top layer supported by sustainable and colour-supporting raw materials. The car park under the casino incorporates a special GeoReflex stone, our light-reflective paving. This contributes to road safety and, like the GeoColor, has a high-quality top layer.
