The World Architecture Festival (WAF) Awards has announced its 2022 finalists including two projects of MVSA (Westfield Mall of The Netherlands & Holland Casino Venlo)

With the traditional first ball (the bullet) at the roulette table, Holland Casino Venlo was officially opened on Thursday evening 7 July. During the festive Grand Opening in front of hundreds of guests, Director Operations Noël Leise was handed the first bullet from the hands of Deputy Mayor Economic Affairs Erwin Boom. The bullet landed on the lucky number 7. The party was completed by snacks and drinks from the newest restaurants LX Fine Dining & Champagne and Sportsbar Burgers & Beer and performances by artists such as Edsilia Rombley and Charly Luske and illusionist Victor Mids.

The relationship between MVSA Architects and Boele & van Eesteren goes back at least 20 years, to the construction of ING House on the Zuidas in Amsterdam.

Holland Casino Venlo will open the doors of the iconic building next Thursday, July 7th. The parametric design by MVSA Architects refers to the Dutch flower industry; In addition, the design combines cradle-to-cradle principles with a special user experience.

At MVSA, we do not only look at the future of the built environment, but also towards the future of our own identity. We are a full service international architectural agency equipped with a divergent DNA. Our aim is to establish MVSA as an institute, a trademark, which is at the vanguard of new developments and ideas. To play this up, a new logo is formed together with a monogram marking territories that represent room of expression and our vision as a whole.

On the corner of the Plesmanlaan and Otto Heldringstraat, three residential towers and two residential blocks will be developed, transforming the neighborhood into a ‘densified’ urban city district, focused on the future.

The development of ‘The Campus’ in Park 20|20 has started. Five brand new office buildings covering 37,000 sq.m in which sustainability and user’s health are the focus. All buildings will be certified with a BREEAM Excellent certificate. 

Vijftien jaar voorbereiding ging eraan vooraf. Het resultaat? Dat wordt ‘on-Nederlands’ genoemd. De gloednieuwe Westfield Mall of the Netherlands in Leidschendam is groots en spectaculair en zit bomvol horeca én design. Reden genoeg om langs te gaan.

The Casino Awards (formerly known as the British Casino Awards) is the next stage in the evolution of the popular awards platform for the gaming industry, as the scheme widens its scope for 2022 to include manufacturers and operators from across the continent.
