DUWO GEBOUWEN

Posted on 9 July 201921 June 2023 by De Meelfabriek

DUWO GEBOUWEN

The DUWO buildings comprise two residential blocks with 58 luxury student apartments and a single-storey underground car park. Commissioned by DUWO, which specialises in student accommodation, these apartments have been built to house students and postgraduates. The buildings overlook the Waardgracht canal or Looiersplein on one side and the future Meelfabriek garden on the other.

The choice of finish, colour and use of materials ensures that this is no average student complex. The use of corten steel (weathering steel) on the end wall, the railings of the built-in balconies and the walkway gives the buildings a warm, rugged look. Combined with the choice of facing brick and the darker recessed window frames made of anodised aluminium, this fits in well with the redevelopment of De Meelfabriek.

The apartments have been occupied since October 2018.

SINGELTOREN

Posted on 6 July 201928 October 2024 by De Meelfabriek

SINGELTOREN

Situated in the specially designed slender residential tower, reaching a height of 45 meters, are 30 apartments and 2 penthouses. Located on Oosterkerkstraat, with views of the Leiden city center, the Meelfabriek Garden and Square, and the Singel canal – hence the name.

The Singeltoren consists of three interconnected towers of varying heights, blending in with the diversity and composition of the surrounding buildings. The division into three volumes gives the Singel Tower a sleek and elegant appearance, making a subtle addition to the skyline of Leiden.

A modern and clean detailing of concrete, glass, and aluminium gives the tower its own identity that seamlessly fits with the industrial character of the Meelfabriek. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide a magnificent view of the beautiful city and the Zijlsingel canal. The high-quality glass insulation (A+++) ensures low energy consumption and sound comfort. The building utilizes its own ground sources for sustainable energy supply. The ground floor has an open character enhancing the connection with the surroundings. It houses the entrance to the parking garage and Barthen Keuken Design.

The Singeltoren is constructed on top of the underground parking garage. The load-bearing structure of the tower itself is formed solely by the facade columns and the elevator core, allowing for highly flexible interior layouts that can be adapted according to the user’s preferences.

The foundation has already been laid with the construction of the underground parking garage in 2018. The parking garage, with three levels, meets the total parking demand of the Meelfabriek and accommodates over 300 cars. This ensures that the site remains car-free, providing space for a garden, square, and pedestrian area.

The appartments were completed in 2022.

MOLENGEBOUW AND RIFFELLOKAAL

Posted on 5 July 201930 October 2024 by De Meelfabriek

MOLENGEBOUW AND RIFFELLOKAAL

The Molengebouw dates back to 1947, and the Riffellokaal dates back to 1931. Previously, these buildings were filled with machinery for grinding and processing grain. Thoughtful interventions have been made to adapt the old factory buildings into residential spaces, meeting the demands of the modern era while preserving their monumental industrial character. The distinctive steel structure has been kept visible and treated with special fire-resistant and insulating measures. The masonry and mortar work have been restored. The beautiful slender frames have been carefully restored and equipped with insulated glass. The original wooden ceiling panels have been preserved as much as possible.

The floors have been transformed into stunning lofts, where the characteristic old steel structure remains visible. These spacious and bright lofts feature high ceilings, some reaching up to 5 meters. Atop these two national monuments, a state-of-the-art penthouse with a rooftop garden has been added.

The first lofts were delivered in March 2020.

MEELPAKHUIS

Posted on 1 July 201930 October 2024 by De Meelfabriek

MEELPAKHUIS

Located between the Singel canal and the Meelfabriek Square, the Meelpakhuis will feature 12 lofts and 8 penthouses. The transformation of this national monument from 1937 is truly unique. The design is an unequivocal response to the question of what makes a monument a monument. A critical perspective and the courage to not take the easiest path are essential in this regard. The result is a design that showcases the monumental elements and industrial loft atmosphere alongside contemporary luxury and sustainable residential comfort.

The Meelpakhuis was constructed in a functionalist architectural style, designed by B. Buurman. As the name suggests, this building used to store flour. Given the weight of all that flour, mushroom-shaped columns were installed for support. To highlight the distinctive rhythmic structure of these powerful columns, the facade of the building is stripped away, and a slightly recessed glass facade is installed. This allows the column structure to be visible from the outside, providing future residents with ample light and a phenomenal view of Leiden.

To create a distinctive loft atmosphere, the interior keeps the columns as free as possible while incorporating all the necessary amenities for optimal living comfort. The glass facade is extended above the building, creating three additional floors with unique penthouses, each featuring 2 or 3 units. Through the choice of materials and design, the modern new extension forms a fascinating unity with the original structure.

The ground floor and the first floor will be dedicated to an innovative commercial and cultural concept. With views over the Singel canal and the Meelfabriek Square, it will be a gem within the complex of De Meelfabriek.

Construction start 2021 – completion 2024.
