EHA sublimely emphasizes the prominent status of the garage as the pivot point between cycling and walking by giving one of the concrete columns a swirling skirt as a base, elevating a garage space into a cathedral for the train travelling cyclist.

We're proud to announce that MindLabs in Tilburg will officially open for operations on Wednesday afternoon (september 27th) in a ceremony attended by Mayor Theo Wetering and other stakeholders. The event marks the culmination of Ector Hoogstad Architects transformation of a beautiful old 'railway cathedral' in the city's transport zone into MindLabs, a knowledge exchange centre for digital technology. The result, realized on behalf of the Municipality of Tilburg and Fontys University, is a model of what can be achieved when heritage, design and sustainability are united in service of a vision, in this instance, a future-oriented building with character.

This transformation is amazing! My mind would really be at ease if I knew all my buildings would receive such treatment.
