Courtyard Droomburg

The project

Between 2000 and 2004 a former cloister in the historic centre of ‘s-Hertogenbosch has been transformed into a luxurious apartment building. Only the front facade in the street has been remained. Behind this façade, contemporary architecture gives the inner court a new image. By demolishing the side wing of the cloister not only the existing court was expanded, also the façade of the neogothical chapel became visible. In this marvellous historic setting combined with modern architecture Buro Lubbers designed a courtyard that belongs to the sequence of courts and squares around the Sint-Jans-Cathedral in the lively town centre of ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Furthermore, the garden offers a spectacular view at the cathedral.
