Architecture

Koningslaan 35 was built just before World War I. Originally, it consisted of three connected townhouses, built together in 1913. It was built in the traditionalist style, with architects Gerrit Jan Rutgers and Jacques Roosing jr. drawing on older architectural styles as a counterpoint to the modernism of the New Objectivity.

"Rutgers' style was characterised by subtle details such as sculptures, distinctive brickwork, gilded mosaic tiles and natural stone, which are being restored and will re-enliven the façade. The renewed building will enrich this beautiful location with its stately allure.

The main design principles were to restore the visual ensemble of the three townhouses, to shed their closed-off character, and to reconnect them with their immediate surroundings by reinstating the original entrances. For the transformation, the architects designed a new roof, restoring the old proportions of the building to make it appear more slender and elegant. Internally, the building will be almost entirely new, including the foundation, full basement and concrete floors.

The target energy label of the apartments will be A+++, as is reflected in the use of HR++ glass, internally insulated, extra-thick walls and the insulated roof. Each unit will also have its own heat pump, connected to a shared underground source. Great attention has been paid to fostering a comfortable indoor climate in the homes. In winter, the underfloor heating will keep you pleasantly warm, while the gas fireplace injects homely ambiance. In summer, the sophisticated cooling system will keep the homes cool.
