FAÇADE FRIDAY | WEST507
The Stokvis building (also called “Oceaanhuis”) was once the headquarters of Europe’s largest trading company. The Rotterdam company Stokvis en Zonen, founded in 1849, traded all possible products varying from screws, vehicle lifts, chemicals, to radios and mopeds. In the transformation of WEST507, a great cultural-historical discovery was made in terms of daylight ☀️ Light penetration was regulated by using skylight courtyards and voids in the four corners of the building. These light courts were closed in 2016, but brought back in Mei’s design - made transparent and linked together using an inner corridor. Learn more about the design of WEST507 in the link in bio.

FACADE FRIDAY | Did you know that De Generaal (former head office of the Dutch Tax Authorities) is the oldest Jackblock Building in the Netherlands? Meaning that construction started with the roof, which was then pushed up using hydraulic jacks to build the floors below. With the transformation of De Generaal, we decided to remove the outer skin of the building to add square meters of living space. The floor-to-ceiling windows and expressive balconies now give the building a powerful appearance and astonishing views.
