| The design for ‘Stroomhuis’ quite literally builds on the rich history of this part of Rotterdam. Sitting on the so-called ‘fire-boundary’ – the extents to which WWII bombing destroyed the city center of Rotterdam – the context is rich with the many different layers of the city’s past.
With ‘Stroomhuis’, an attempt is made to connect to these layers and to invigorate the context with a new addition. The building will cantilever over an expressive former substation from which the building will its architectural cues. Interaction plays an important role in the design; the central hall is public and connects different urban conditions; higher up in the building collective spaces offer opportunities for encounters between neighbors. |
