The new Lampegiet Theatre will become the cultural heart of the Duivenweide district, serving as the first step in a broader redevelopment of the area. In addition to the theatre, a green city park is planned with an event area, a new parking facility, and housing. The theatre will form a connection between this new park and one of Veenendaal’s main streets. With the large glass façades of its foyers, the theatre is designed to activate the square, creating a strong connection between the life of the city and the events taking place within. Large sliding doors can open the theatre to the outside, allowing the green, park-like theatre square and the theatre café with its terrace to merge seamlessly. This opens the possibility for events such as an outdoor cinema or open-air performances.
