Overview
Warm materials inside an industrial shell
A fourteen-hundred square-metre studio and showroom for a metalwork practice in Rotterdam's Merwe-Vierhavens district.
We kept the industrial shell — exposed concrete, roof trusses, north-facing skylights — and introduced warm materials at human scale: walnut screens, aged-steel shelving, and a kitchen designed to serve both staff and visiting clients.
The contrast does the work: raw structure softened by craft, a workplace that doubles as a showroom without compromising either.
Process
Site survey — mapping the existing roof-truss grid before any drawings began.
