Fullhouse will transform the former school complex located between Sikkelstraat, Vorkstraat and Ploegstraat in Rotterdam into housing.

The 6000 m2 school complex was built in 1923 and was the largest in Rotterdam at the time. The complex was designed by the Rotterdam municipal architect Walter Dahlen in collaboration with Ad van der Steur, both architects have designed several striking schools in Rotterdam. The building originally housed three schools, two of which for G.L.O. (Ordinary Primary Education) and one for U.L.O. (Advanced Primary Education). In addition to classrooms, the building also provided space for a gym, a bathhouse, two staff houses and a covered children’s playground.

The municipality intends to give the building the status of a municipal monument. Fullhouse has plans to redevelop the complex into rental properties in the middle and higher segment while retaining its characteristic monumental appearance. This gives the building a new lease of life after years of vacancy and the development gives a positive impulse to social cohesion and quality of life in Vreewijk. Fullhouse will soon share more information about the planning.
