Penthouse West crowns a 1968 office block in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with a glass-box home and restored Modernist bones. Powerhouse Company leads the conversion, turning a neglected address into a layered apartment building capped by their own family penthouse. The project pairs engineering finesse with a lush material palette, drawing on Midcentury Modern cues and post-war Rotterdam finishes to frame long skyline views while bringing the building’s original character back into focus.
Rotterdam Loft, a stunning apartment design by Kumiki Architecture, exemplifies a harmonious blend of rigorous yet thoughtful interventions. Located in the vibrant city of Rotterdam, Netherlands, this project showcases a dynamic interplay of open, light-filled spaces that cater seamlessly to the clients’ family lifestyle. Preserving the original elements of the urban dwelling, the design seamlessly incorporates contemporary materials and forms, creating a captivating balance between the old and the new.
The transformation of the Keilepand, a remarkable industrial hub in the heart of Rotterdam’s Makers District, is a testament to the power of sustainable design and innovative entrepreneurship. Spearheaded by the renowned design firm, GROUP A, in collaboration with studioADAMS, this former pre-war fruit and vegetable shed has been reimagined as a vibrant space for like-minded innovators committed to shaping a sustainable future.
Situated in the Merwe-Vierhavens (M4H) area, the Keilepand is a beacon of the municipality’s vision for a lively, creative, and innovative living and working environment. The building’s transformation is not just a physical one; it’s a symbol of resilience, community, and sustainable urban development.
