On the side of St Eusebius' Church (Eusebiuskerk), Arnhem Holland there are two glass walkways / balconies at a height of 59m and 62m. Visitors are able to walk out into what seems like mid air.
After a request from the foundation which operates the Eusebiuskerk, the glass balconies were designed by Nijhuis Architectuur, ABT as the glass and steel structural engineer, and Si-X as the makers of the glass architecture, Together, the parties have provided a unique structure that offers a spectacular view of the sculptures and the city. Although it is obvious that the construction of the glass balcony is completely safe, it provides a thrilling experience. “The existing belvedere and viewpoint in the top of the tower provide a lovely panorama, but their surrounding view is much more limited. Moreover, only in the balconies you can stand on a glass floor on the outside of the church with a view downwards”, says architect Robert Nijhuis.
