MAD Architects<\/a> has revealed designs for Danshuis, a new dance center planned for Rotterdam\u2019s<\/a> historic docklands. Scheduled to open in 2030, the scheme will occupy a 1923 Art Deco<\/a> warehouse on the south bank of the River Maas.<\/p>\n

Located adjacent to the firm\u2019s recently completed Fenix Museum of Migration<\/a>, Danshuis will transform the 95,000-square-foot former warehouse into a center for the production, development, and presentation of dance. The institution is intended to accommodate both professional and amateur programs spanning multiple dance disciplines.<\/p>\n

The plans include 14 dance studios<\/a> alongside an open podium, gym, exhibition space, and cafe. A rooftop Salle des F\u00eates will accommodate larger public programs while providing views across Rotterdam\u2019s harbor.<\/p>\n

The design of the scheme organizes the building around a vertical foyer connecting the various levels with the rooftop venue. Outdoor spaces will also extend toward the River Maas waterfront.<\/p>\n

\u201cMovement goes beyond architecture, becoming part of the character of the district,\u201d MAD founder Ma Yansong<\/a> said about the scheme. \u201cThe beauty of human movement and the moments of dance will resonate with Fenix, creating a continuous dialogue between the two.\u201d<\/p>\n

News of the scheme comes days after MAD offered a first look inside the firm\u2019s recently completed Lucas Museum of Narrative Art<\/a> in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
