SCHOONMAKERIJ
The architectural style of the building, where grain was once washed, bears characteristics of the New Building movement and Functional Expressionism. Long lines of steel windows and shutters run through the brick facade. Comparable to the Molengebouw and Riffellokaal opposite.
SCHOONMAKERIJ – National Monument
The cantilevered reinforced concrete frame was still rarely used in factory buildings around 1937. The frame structure of concrete columns and beams makes this building unique and sets the tone for the atmosphere of the future spaces. Where grain was once washed, a sports and wellness area will soon be located, flowing into the newly built Silo Tower situated at the rear.
