Feyenoord Rotterdam and Stadion Feijenoord have approved the business case for the new Feyenoord Stadium as the project’s contract design phase completes.

Both decisions mark another important step towards realization of the project designed by OMA / David Gianotten in collaboration with LOLA Landscape Architects, among other parties.

However, the brief quickly evolved to include a light renovation of the upper floor as the couple cottoned on to DGN Studio’s exceptional eye for natural materials and clever spatial planning nous.
