BLUECITY, Rotterdam

The most eye – catching elements in the former disco are the red cedar window frames.

By clever design with these frames, coming from a demolition building, they form an impressive looking facade, which fits exactly. An architecture of flat and tilted window frames arised with double height on the south façade. The facade separates the office units from the general spaces while they also offer beautiful views of the river Maas.

Besides the strong image the shape is also practical. By placing the window frames at an angle they reflect the light, prevent a direct view into the business units and it has a beneficial effect on the acoustics and climate.

BlueCity 010 offices has been built according to circulair building principles: 90% of the materials are reused, where possible local. For the remaining 10%, the choice was made for material that is easy to reuse again.
