Creative and not overdone solution to a tricky retrofit. I’m thumbs up on this building. It doesn’t LOOK like a retrofit, for example… bravo.

Hello Hisham, the facade is made of composite elements, especially molded by the Dutch firm Polux for this building.

Interesting to read that the Dutch finally discovered the passive house “standard”. “Passive house” was the standard for energy consumption reduction in the European Alpine countries in the last decade, in the meanwhile replaced by (real passive) zero-energy consumption buildings. The passive houses were good, but there is better now…

Almost no pictures of the interior. If it’s a re-used 70′s police station I doubt there will be any tranquility and intimacy found there. A bit of red paint won’t be able to change it that much.
