The Willem II-passage is a new public space that connects the historical inner city of Tilburg with the railway redevelopment area ‘De Spoorzone’. CIVIC architects, together with Bright, designed an award-winning sequence of spaces which seamlessly tie together architecture, public space, cultural heritage and traffic space. A specifically designed and produced glass brick façade creates a familiar but surprisingly striking effect.
