Holland Casino is a Dutch state-owned company and has the legal monopoly on gambling in the Netherlands, and has fourteen casinos located throughout the country. Profits from Holland Casino go directly to the Dutch treasury. In 2007, profit was around 267 million euros and in 2006 some 263 million euros. Holland Casino in Venlo embraces the municipal cradle to cradle ambitions and strives for sustainable solutions for the new casino to be built on the Floralaan. The spacious building has 3 floors with offices, warehouses and parking facilities in addition to the play floor function.
Holland Casino - Venlo
For the new Holland Casino in Venlo, MVSA Architects designed a spectacular building in the shape of a flower. The building will have an interactive LED-façade, that is being developed by Sorba. The façade is partially made up of sequins, with LED lighting and other parts are covered with perforated cladding. The sequins consist of aluminium rings with a glass or aluminium disc. The interactive LED lighting is installed behind the glass discs. The aluminium disc have a special kameleon coating. Through this coating the discs get a different colours when seen from different angles. The sculptural edges are being made of Alpolic ACM panels and an aluminium brim.

There are two starting points for this design: maximum sustainability and an optimal user experience. Both themes begin outside the building. The landmark structure is clearly visible from a distance, with its interactive façade offering a lively, colour-changing lightshow for visitors and passers-by. Outside the building too, the flower structures harvest solar energy and fresh air. A multidisciplinary team developed the concept, resulting in a holistic approach to architecture and sustainability.
A natural coherence between landscape, architecture and interior is felt everywhere in the self-sufficient building. Materials are biodegradable, natural, or reused.
The casino appears as a huge flower rising from the landscape. The entrance, via a generous stairway alongside a pond with water lilies, leads visitors through the casino in an intuitive way, to the heart of the flower, which is centrally located in the atrium. Here the roof rises from the central stem, creating the emblematic corolla that forms an impressive starry sky. The central bar winds around the flower stem and forms the highlight of the interior as it extends over the different levels and morphs into the stairway. Lighting enhances the flowing, organic forms throughout the design.
Hotel Venlo
Nature was our teacher: the total concept is based on biomimicry. The building is a self-regulating organism with a skin, skeleton, metabolism and brain. The Trias Energetica method determines its energy management, resulting in an almost energy-neutral building (EPC 0.34, equivalent to Breeam Outstanding). This is the best-ever energy performance for this type of building. In line with circular design, the old casino has been reused, along with new bio-based material including the wooden construction. The smart concept gives space to the natural ecology of the neighbouring River Maas, including the foraging area for bats and the sustainable integration of parking areas into the landscape. The surrounding green plant walls are a habitat for insects and other organisms. The building uses natural energy sources. Its curved form collects rainwater for the grey-water circuit, which is then purified by the helophyte filter in the entrance staircase. PV film on the roof and in the flower-shaped sculptures captures solar energy. Light tubes use daylight to create a starry sky indoors, while visitors generate energy through the interactive entrance floor. The adaptive building signals visitor numbers and adjusts its use of energy, water and air accordingly.
More than a collection of sustainability solutions, the design is a total concept: an iconic and future-proof building. Sustainability ambitions and Holland Casino's identity are approached in an integrated way and unified as a result, creating new opportunities for partnership and cooperation and new business cases. Casino hotel naics. Self-sufficient in energy terms, the casino fits seamlessly with circular-economy thinking. A materials passport in BIM facilitates maintenance and repairs. Respect for the total cost of ownership forms the basis of the holistic design. Outdoor space and building form one entity and absorb air, water and energy like an organism. The building has a skin, skeleton, brain and an excellent metabolism. Meanwhile, the visitor experiences magic everywhere, from the façade to deep in building's heart. The highest level of sustainability has in no way diminished the glamour and allure of the building. On the contrary, it proves that we can create a world that is in harmony with nature, that sustainability is applicable everywhere and that smart buildings are no longer a dream.
