Atelier Kleurstof - De Meelfabriek in Leiden

SHOPS & WORKSPACES

On the ground floor of the various buildings, there will be unique shops and workspaces such as boutiques, workshop areas, and galleries. These shops attract people and bring vibrancy. Instead of large franchise chains, we aim for surprising creative businesses that have a connection to art, design, craftsmanship, or sustainability.

In the Riffellokaal, you can already find creative, sustainable, and socially-conscious entrepreneurs who prioritize collaboration. Space for design will be available under the Singeltoren. On the ground floor and the first floor of the Meelpakhuis, there will be a mix of a cultural café with books, space for debates, and various studio and retail spaces that seamlessly blend together.

The exact details are still being worked out, and we are open to innovative entrepreneurs who would like to establish themselves here. If you’re interested in being a part of this, please contact us. Send an email to: info@demeelfabriek.nl

POORTGEBOUW

POORTGEBOUW

It was slated for demolition, but now the charm of the Poortgebouw (gate house) is of great value to De Meelfabriek and it is even designated as a national monument. The old Poortgebouw has been restored and adapted for reuse.

The building dates back to 1940 and, like the adjacent Directiekantoor, is designed in a style influenced by Functional Expressionism by architect B. Buurman. It originally served as a bicycle storage and garage for executive cars.

In the rear section, storage spaces will be built for the residents of the Meelpakhuis, along with the necessary transformers. At the front, the contractors and construction staff will be temporarily located.

DIRECTIEKANTOOR

Once the headquarters of Meelfabriek De Sleutels, housing the management, administration and laboratory, this building now accommodates seven inspiring companies. The property has been fully restored, with the exterior facade, windows, and interior spaces brought back to their original state where possible. The numerous original elements exude the atmosphere of its remarkable history.

The Directiekantoor was built in 1940, designed by architect B. Buurman in the style of Functional Expressionism. The facade features a brickwork plaque of a corn mill from 1734 called ‘De Oranjeboom’ (The Orange Tree). The laboratory on the second floor was used for chemical testing of the flour. Factory workers would conduct test bakes to determine if the flour met the required quality standards. They would take home the test loaves and cakes in the evenings. The authentic Leiden keys above the entrance symbolize the company that had been called ‘Meelfabriek De Sleutels’ since the 1920s. The previous name, ‘Stoom-meelfabriek De Koster & Co.’ (Steam Flour Mill De Koster & Co.), became obsolete with the advent of electricity.
