NOAHH Theater aan de Parade acts a social activator – an extrovert, multifunctional, cutting-edge building with an approach to implementing social space and spatial synergy. The design concept is to bring together unique halls – the intimate Theatre Hall and the flexible Parade Hall – each with its own identity and programming, under one roof.

This expressive ensemble of halls connects to a large space in the building. The foyers, the café, the botanic foyer and the roof terrace are all connected to this central space. Not only this space provide light and air to the heart of the building, it also stimulates interaction between all areas of the theatre and its visitors, as well as connecting the souterrain to the rest of the building.

The façade contains a rich tapestry of masonry structures and it encloses the halls like a transparent voile. For the design of the façade, NOAHH was inspired by the medieval patterns found in brickworks of De Moriaan, the oldest brick house of the Neterlands, located right next to the theatre.

The building acts as an extension of the public space in front of it: an open glass façade in the ground floor connects the exterior with the interior cafe and foyer.

The idea was to keep the existing structure of the main hall and the basement, creating a void on which light would enter and interaction would be stimulated.
