The Platform is a newly created place in Utrecht to live, work, eat, go out and exercise. It is designed as a smart and sustainable MicroCity, focused on a healthy lifestyle in an inspiring environment, with plenty of air, light and greenery. VDNDP, as elaborating architect , provided the Building engineer and structural execution engineering and coordinated the installations.

The Platform was built on top of the then future bus and streetcar station of the Uithof line. The location, complexity, logistics and collaboration made the project challenging and unique.
"For us it is very nice that VDNDP is also present on the construction. They work for another company but at Het Platform we are all one team and that is how I experience it. VDNDP fits into the team perfectly, there are short lines of communication and everything is handled well. Team VDNDP is very close to the work preparation at Het Platform. They think along, help the contractor where necessary and contribute a lot of technical know-how. Within this project maximum use is made of each other's qualities."
