Vie - Life in motion, Kerkrade
On the 40,000 square meter former Atrium land, Pellikaan is realising the new Vie – Life in motion, Kerkrade. A combination of a varied sports offer with care and education.
Situated on the edge of the site, the new building will be an access gate to the town centre. The roofs will be landscaped with green and flowers, and it will be accessible for the public via ramps and stairs. The design of the building with its differences in height and movement in the elevation, seamlessly fits the hilly nature in the area. For the design, a partnership was formed between Moederscheim/Moonen Architects and Wehrung Architecten.
The centre
The competition area of the sports hall is 28m×44m, and can be divided in 2 parts. It has 6 changing areas. The pool area has a competition pool as well as a teaching pool, both with moveable floors. In addition, there are a toddler basin and a spray park. There is also a 500m2 visitor’s restaurant and on the first floor, a 160m2 office unit can be rented out. The parking garage has approx. 270 spaces and connects the sports complex with the town centre.
Sustainability
The centre is completely gas-free and all electric, with 3 warmtepompen for all required hot-water and for the heating of the sports section. 1280 solar panels supply a large part of the electricity used. The building is provided with high quality insulation, has and EPC of 0, and completely meets the latest Dutch regulations for “Almost Energy Neutral Buildings).

School, rehabilitation and sports
Heliomare Child and Youth Centre:
In this new Child- and Youth Centre, children and young adults with special needs will find a school for special needs education that also offers facilities for rehabilitation, sports and movement. And to add to all that, the high-tech Regional Expert Centre offers outpatient treatment. Therefore, in addition to the usual school facilities, this centre has dedicated sports and movement areas, a hydrotherapy pool and rehabilitation rooms.
Every functionality of the building has its own domain, with its own entrance, but everybody comes together at the plaza. This large, high area houses the restaurant and has views to every domain.
Heemskerk Multipurpose Sports Centre:
A separate part of the building is the Multipurpose Sports Centre. During the daytime, this is used by primary school pupils from the area as well as Heliomare’s primary and secondary school students. The Heemskerk Council’s new sports hall is built to Dutch Olympic Committee standards and therefore also excellently suited for use by local sports clubs.
Engineer, Build, Maintain: the design by Architectenbureau Marlies Rohmer was further developed by our team before construction. After hand-over, Pellikaan remains responsible for maintenance of the building for 12 years.

At the redevelopment of this square in down town Zandvoort, Pellikaan is responsible for large part of the development including the underground car park for 511 cars, 48 appartments, two schools, a public library, a sports hall, city offices and a multipurpose area for social and cultural activities.
The integration of these different buildings with their individual purposes, requires a thorough plan for accessibility, routing and safety in and around the buildings. During the development phase, Pellikaan used its great experience as operator of various buildings to find the best solutions. That experience was also used to ensure optimum long-term use of the buildings, for example through choices regarding services engineering and materials.
Examples are the hypermodern ventilation system for a healthy learning climate, LED lighting in the garage, the use of solar panels and the underground thermal energy storage.
