assignment
Holland Casino Utrecht moved from the city centre to a new (car) accessible location at Winthontlaan in Utrecht, at a central junction along the A12. The spectacular building, designed by OZ Architects, is a striking appearance.
For the interior, Claessens Erdmann worked together with designer Derek Sola of the US based studio Gensler, known for designing many casinos in Las Vegas. Sola laid the basis for the interior, after which Cleaessens Erdmann translated the design with its American signature to the Dutch market.
The new casino is much larger in scale (size and games on offer) than the previous location. With three restaurants and no less than 700 slot machines. Divided over two gaming floors that are connected by a spectacular entrance area, which is a true experience. A big open space beneath the 20 meters highest point of the building. The escalator runs checkered through the space, with a light work of art hanging from the ceiling. It’s the eye-catcher of the building.
