Stadionkwartier, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Noise barrier with aluminum elements

Next to the PSV stadium in Eindhoven is the Stadionkwartier; a completely new district with apartment complexes. In order to reduce the environmental noise as much as possible, the residential building has been given a screen on the stadium side that covers the entire facade. The design consists of large diamond-shaped elements that rose from the surface of the facade at an angle of 11 degrees. Besides durability, the sleek and smooth finish were the most important considerations for the architect to choose for the aluminum finish.
