The transformation of the HilleHof was celebrated on 12 May. In the district Vreewijk in Rotterdam-Zuid is the monumental school complex (1923) designed by Architect Walter Dahlen. We are transforming this complex to a mix of 73 social, medium and expensive rental properties.

“Finally the time has come. The monumental building on the Ploeg, Vork and Sikkelstraat will receive a new destination. The building has an illustrious past as a school and bathhouse, but in
in the future, 73 Rotterdam households will live here. In addition to the arrival of the houses, the old schoolyard will be greened and can be used as a collective garden by residents”, says alderman Bas Kurvers (Building and Living).

The monumental school complex is 6000 m2 and at the time was the largest school in Rotterdam. It consisted of three schools, a bathhouse, dining hall, indoor playground and a
playground. The complex is located on Ploegstraat, Sikkelstraat and Vorkstraat. With the transformation of the complex, the cultural-historical value remains as much as possible
and we make the best use of the building’s structures. In this way, the classrooms will be largely preserved and lofts will be built in the gymnasiums, the bathhouse and covered playground and a collective living room in the tower on Vorkstraat.

Elements such as the stairwell and the corridors are also preserved.
The HilleHof will have a varied residential program with downstairs and upstairs apartments, lofts and apartments
studios of 65 m2 on average. The complex is also being made more sustainable. All homes will be connected to district heating and will receive energy label A. The transformation will take approximately a year and a half and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Healthy elderly living on the Coal Yard

On the Coal Yard, at ’s Gravenweg 59 at Nieuwerkerk aan de IJssel, we have developed a housing concept for the elderly, in collaboration with JADE Architects. The location retains a rural character where the elderly remain active and healthy. The decor of the former farm forms the new living environment for the elderly who like to remain active and share with others, but also like to retreat to their own home or garden. Living in a community with the necessary privacy. Not a superfluous luxury in the current time.

The Coal Yard is a housing project for active people over sixty. The emphasis is on sustainable living in independent semi-detached houses around a yard where use can be made of a community center and the agricultural land behind the houses can be used for recreational and educational purposes.

See the Coal Yard website (in Dutch) for more information about the project.

The Cool Sjiek homes have been delivered to the buyers at an inner city location in Rotterdam. In the cross street between Coolsestraat and Drievriendenstraat, 4 unique city houses have been realized.

The location was designated by the Municipality of Rotterdam as a ‘Klein & Fijn’ location where densification and differentiation was desirable.

The 4 houses divided into two types of 150 and 170 M2 all have a roof terrace with 360 degree views over the skyline of Rotterdam.

 

The houses were designed in consultation with the buyers by architect 1House (Anne-Marie Verheijden Architectuur). The construction was carried out by Van den Nieuwendijk Bouw.

In 2021 Fullhouse delivered 28 energy neutral single-family homes in Overschie, Rotterdam. The Overschie district has a wide variety of buildings, houses and people within a relatively small area.

“The housing strategy of the Municipality of Rotterdam is that there should be mixing within neighbourhoods and districts. And that there also are opportunities for starters to move on and that everyone will be able to continue to live in their own neighbourhood.

Monique Mooij, Urban Planner for the Municipality of Rotterdam”

With Fullhouse it was always our goal to fulfill a community connecting function with Poort 16Hoven. By linking up with the existing buildings in the neighbourhood and by positioning the owner-occupied homes in the middle segment, the project has become a good addition to the housing stock in Overschie.

In the video below Laurens van der Bijl (Fullhouse), Monique Mooij (Municipality of Rotterdam) and Jochem & Rosanne (residents) take you to Poort 16Hoven!

Fullhouse, in collaboration with architectural firm Roffaa, has presented the initiative “De Vaan” to the municipality of Rotterdam for the derelict plot on the corner of Vinkenbaan and Dordtsestraatweg in Rotterdam Zuid.

As a result, we are developing 15 homes and a parking garage at this complex and challenging location in collaboration with the municipality of Rotterdam. 

The project will include special housing types, including 5 homes with a basement and 10 bayonet maisonettes.

The homes vary in surface area between approximately 80 and 100 m² and are therefore a nice addition to the housing stock in Vreewijk. In the coming period, we will further develop the design and expect to be able to apply for the permit at the end of this year.

Everyone a healthy heart. That is the Heart Foundation’s dream. For more than 55 years, the Heart Foundation has been investing in research and innovations in the field of prevention and care. The Heart Foundation contributes to solutions to keep hearts healthy, they want to make the Netherlands more heart-safe and detect heart problems earlier and treat them better. This prevents people from becoming a heart patient or unnecessarily suffering (or dying from) heart disease.

Fullhouse recognizes the great work of the Heart Foundation and will continue to work as a long-term ambassador to make the living environments it creates as safe as possible.

At the initiative of Lawa Vernooij – de Vries, we installed an AED for the first time on a completed project in 2019. An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that can restore the heart rhythm in case of cardiac arrest. This is done by giving an electric shock.

Too few AEDs are available day and night in the Netherlands. Fullhouse delivers an AED for all its real estate projects in the Netherlands so that the risk of death in cardiac arrest is minimized.

Interested in becoming an ambassador for the Heart Foundation and / or placing AEDs? See the following link for more information

After a market inquiry among 5 developers, Fullhouse was selected by the municipality of Schiedam for the redevelopment of the Gravin Aleidaschool. Together with JADE architects, Fullhouse has developed the Hof van Aleida development plan based on preserving the stately accommodation located in Schiedam Oost. Spread over the old main building, the gymnasium and the learning and play rooms that were added later, Fullhouse develops and realizes a total of fifteen owner-occupied homes, varying in size and price.

The lofts and apartments are delivered in such a way that buyers themselves have the option of further furnishing the homes to their own taste. Fullhouse and JADE explicitly opt for preserving the building and restoring old details. Work is also being done on sustainability in other ways. It has been decided to invest extra in building components that last a long time and there will be a very well insulated building envelope. “The energy concept is simple, due to the very good insulation of the floor, wall and roof, minimal use of auxiliary energy is required.”

Collective green as a meeting place

All houses have a private outdoor space and there will be a communal courtyard in which meeting and relaxation are essential while the space also serves for water collection. This will have a positive effect on the atmosphere and appearance of the outdoor space around the houses.

Roofs and facades are provided with plants where possible, which will counteract heat stress and it generates water storage capacity, so that we keep our feet dry. “After all Gravin Aleida has set a good example for us, hasn’t she!”

Continuation

With the selection of the plan, the sale of the Countess Aleida school to Fullhouse has been initiated. In the short term, Fullhouse will start a participation process with the environment in which the environment is invited to design the entrance to the former school building.

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.

Five historic and iconic buildings on Burgemeester Roosstraat in Rotterdam will undergo a metamorphosis in the coming period. The buildings, originally built between 1886-1901, will be restored by Fullhouse into family homes with a garden and affordable rental homes.

Historically, the buildings were built as residential houses with a business function on the ground floor. With a hot water distillery and a blacksmith, this was typical of that time. The buildings are part of the protected cityscape “Water project” and are therefore characterized as historically valuable. The buildings have been inhabited by squatters for the past 18 years. There have been cracks in the facades covered with steel structures for years and the roof moldings and window frames show serious skew. For all five buildings, the foundations must be repaired soon after the contaminated subsoil has been remediated. A very rewarding task to restore this part of Rotterdam to its former glory and to restore quality homes on the edge of the center.

Demolishing and then rebuilding everything would be obvious. However, Fullhouse considers the history of Rotterdam to be of decisive value in opting for large-scale restoration in which the original character of the facades with their graceful details are preserved.

Indoors, the homes will be modernized and made more sustainable to meet today’s current requirements. For years, the old prison has been transformed into homes, just a stone’s throw from these buildings. The end of the work seems in sight. The restoration of these five buildings is yet another step in the development of the historic Oude Noorden.

The first works have recently started to the satisfaction of the neighborhood. The homes are scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2021.

ROTTERDAM – The former RTV Rijnmond complex on Mathenesserlaan and Nieuwe Binnenweg was empty for ten years, from 2007 to 2017. A collaboration between Fullhouse and Bokkers van der Veen Architecten has put an end to this. The former RTV Rijnmond complex is an amalgam of buildings that have been purchased and built over the years by the Westerpaviljoen and RTV Rijnmond:

two monumental villas on the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the Westerpaviljoen on the Mathenesserlaan and behind it a restaurant, which was originally built as canteen in front of Unilever’s headquarters. The transformation focused on the removal of low-value extensions and intermediate constructions and the restoration of the original objects. The recognisability of the individual monumental objects and the added space in between make new living and working functions possible, revitalizing this protected cityscape.

Victoria Lofts & Victoria workspaces – phase 1

The low-quality building parts connecting the dining hall and the monumental city villas have been demolished. A new rear facade has been realized that restores the original situation. The low-grade brick intermediate member that connected the two villas has been upgraded to a transparent connection that serves as access to seven of the eight short-stay apartments. The vacant space between the dining room and villas forms a small patio garden that serves as a communal outdoor space for the residents of these apartments, who have been given the name Victorialofts.

The spaces above the Wester Pavilion, which were also part of this sequence of office and studio spaces and which moreover have the status of municipal monument, have also been “cut loose”. After removing all unnecessary metal stud walls and suspended ceilings, it was decided to provide a hole in the ceiling with a new skylight and to realize an open office space, of which the characteristic ceiling with concrete beams and bimbeton cassettes has also been brought into view again. These spaces have been reused as a workplace, including by Fullhouse Vastgoed.

Wester pavilion – phase 2

The corner of the Westerpaviljoen, on the side of the Schoevers building, previously served as the main entrance to the RTV complex and was therefore connected to all areas in the hall and the villas. There was also a transformer room, which resulted in a closed facade. Now that both the entrance function and transformer space had become redundant, this offered an opportunity to make this corner more inviting. In the design of the facade, located in a protected cityscape, the already existing fronts on Mathenesserlaan formed the starting point for the new openings.

The new openings are in line with the rhythm and measure of the openings that architect D. Dürrer realized for the Westerpaviljoen in the 1940s and 50s designed. As a result, the facade of the Westerpaviljoen has become a whole and the separate legibility of the various buildings has been improved. The Westerpaviljoen has now taken this space into use with a food bar.

Mathenesserlofts – phase 3

The hall has been transformed into two luxury residences, the Mathenesserlofts. The houses are oriented towards the courtyard, which has been created by stripping the dining room of low-quality additions to cooling rooms and garages. The houses have large facades on that side with slender detailing, in accordance with the steel skylights that were already on four sides of the hall. In both lofts, a mezzanine floor with bedrooms has been created in the high, open space. A light structure has been realized on the roof, which is supported by a special construction of large concrete beams above the roof surface. New industrial steel stairs connect the spaces from basement to roof structure, providing access to spacious roof terraces. The building is fully insulated and heat pumps are used for heating. These sustainable homes have no gas connection and are all-electric, ready for the future.

Schoevers Building & Daycare – phase 4 & 5

For the former daycare center, formerly a gym, in the backyard, Bokkers van der Veen made a sketch design and made the zoning plan change. A new owner has been found for the former gym, who will turn it into a luxury villa. For the Schoevers building, it is being investigated whether the former school building can be transformed into a boutique hotel.
