A central foyer adopts the role of the public square, inserted between the public character of the adjacent street and the seclusion of the interior space, while at the same time providing a clear and readable address for each individual programme at street level, all of which are visible at a single glance from the foyer. The building merges harmoniously with its surrounds by adopting the same scale and dimensions as the neighbouring residential buildings. By detaching itself from them, however, it retains its autonomy and reinforces its public character. Both the diversity and coherence of the programme is manifest in the volumetrics and rhythm of the facade, which is composed of building blocks referring to individual programme clusters, each with its own characteristic pattern of windows. The facades nevertheless express a certain versatility and equality without being entirely identical. The facades facing the street and public garden have a more pronounced - almost ornamental - character, while those adjacent to the neighbouring private gardens to the left and right are more reserved. This diversity is achieved within the same material pallet, by subtle variations in the proportions and detailing. As a result, both the kernel and the shell of the Lendrik Centre represent a fusion of the communal feel of a village square with the intimacy of a private home.
