The Chasse Theatre in Breda, Netherlands was designed by Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger in 1992. What I think makes this so interesting is how Hertzberger nestled this modern looking theatre in between older municipal buildings and 19th century barracks. I feel it really makes the building stand out.

The building consists of three auditoriums that can be for either music or theater and which are flexible in arrangement to accommodate the specific performance. There are also two film theaters. This inside of the space is very open and invites the patrons to visit one another before and after performances. What I think really makes this stand out is the undulating roof that covers the entire building like waves.
