这座建筑最初设计于七十年代，由荷兰建筑师休·马斯坎特(Hugh Maaskant)设计，最初不受欢迎，因为太贵太大。四十年后的今天，该省已成为积极公共服务的象征，其18层高的塔楼是布拉班茨风景的标志性建筑。这座建筑在公众和有代表性的立柱的水平性与办公大楼的高度之间表现出完美的平衡。这两座建筑都是在地面以上的一层，用来存放停车场，象征着混凝土建筑的现代工业性质。

The building, originally designed in the Seventies by Dutch architect Hugh Maaskant, was initially unpopular because too expensive and too big. Now after forty years, the Provinciehuis has become a symbol of active public service and its eighteen storey tower a striking landmark of the Brabantse landscape. The building shows a perfect balance between the horizontality of the public and representative plinth and the elevation of the office tower. Both volumes are raised one floor above the ground level to house the parking area, symbol itself of the modern industrial nature of the concrete architecture.

马斯坎特建筑的强大特色通过宏伟的姿态和微小的细节突出了宽敞的空间，促进了政治家、行政人员、公务员和公民之间的互动。这种互动逐渐失去了加时赛。翻修项目面临的挑战是正确阅读规划的原始空间质量，从安全障碍中解放平台，以及根据当代需要更新建筑。

The strong character of Maaskant’s architecture speaks through generous spaces highlighted by grand gestures and small details promoting interaction between politicians, administrators, civil servants and citizens. This interaction was gradually lost overtime. The challenge of the renovation project was in the correct reading of the original spatial quality of the plan, in freeing the plinth from the security barriers and in updating the building to the contemporary needs.

Kaan建筑符合Maaskant的解释，但以个人的方式进行创作。中央大厅现在可以永久使用；Statenzaal和Bois Le Duc大厅在会议期间也可以出入。主入口区域通往水平桥墩的所有三层，在停车场有一个弯曲的楼梯，一个咖啡吧，还有通往一楼会议厅的气势磅礴的楼梯。办公室位于纵向墙上，后面是原来的玻璃砖块和灯光。

KAAN Architecten works in accordance with Maaskant’s interpretation, yet with a personal approach. The central hall is now permanently accessible; the Statenzaal and the Bois Le Duc Hall are also accessible when in session. The main entrance area opens up to all three levels of the horizontal plinth and houses a curved staircase to the parking floor, a coffee bar and the imposing stairway to the first floor assembly hall. Offices are located in the longitudinal walls behind the original glass bricks and lights.

在办公楼里，房间被一个灵活的工作空间所取代，每层都有三层。每个集群都提供开放和封闭的工作空间：为10名员工提供8个工作场所，以强调新工作环境的动态性。垂直循环是流线型的，电梯每隔三层就停一站，两层楼梯为每个独立的集群服务。

In the office tower the rooms are replaced by a flexible working space and are clustered in three floors each. Every cluster is provided with open and closed working space: 8 workplaces for 10 employees to emphasize the dynamics of the new work environment. Vertical circulation is streamlined, lifts stop every three floors and two flights of stairs serve each independent cluster.

2015年11月3日，Kaan建筑公司的合作伙伴文森特·潘胡森(Vincent Panhuysen)获得了国王专员韦姆·范德唐克(Wim Van De Donk)颁发的一枚奖章，表彰他在修复北布拉班特省(Prociehuis Of North Brabant)方面给予的特殊和细致的

On November 3rd 2015 Vincent Panhuysen, KAAN Architecten’s partner, received a medal of merit from the Commissioner of the King, Wim van de Donk, for the special and careful guidance in the renovation of the Provinciehuis of North-Brabant.
