Transformation from office to lively residential building in the center of Rotterdam.

The client, New Cheese Development in collaboration with Egeria, have purchased the Blaak 333 building in order to transform it into a residential building. This means demolishing the early 1960s office building down to the first floor; after all, a residential building is significantly heavier than an office skeleton. A new foundation slab will be installed in the existing basement, preventing demolition of foundation and basement walls. The lower two layers will include common facilities and hospitality.

Coalitie de Esch

When the municipality of Rotterdam announced in 2019 that it was investigating the possibility of a new riverbank connection between De Esch and Feyenoord, we decided not to wait for the municipality to finalize its plans, but to act immediately. Together with developers, the housing corporation and investors of De Esch, we soon established the Coalition Cooperation De Esch. A group that actively promotes common interests and works together with the municipality and residents for the future of De Esch.
