Van Nelle Fabriek

The Van Nelle Factory is a classic example of the Nieuwe Bouwen school of Dutch modernist architecture. The ingenious building was designed to provide all the facilities for the employees close at hand, keeping the building fully above ground to create air, light and space. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 2014.

De Rotterdam

De Rotterdam is an iconic example of urban architecture, designed by Rotterdam based architecture firm OMA/Rem Koolhaas. The three linked towers are nearly 150 metres high, forming a ‘vertical city’ of high-class flats, a 4-star hotel, offices, shops, restaurants, fitness and parking facilities. The name refers to the SS Rotterdam, a steamship that once sailed a regular route to New York and offered a wide range of functions for its passengers' comfort.

St Lawrence Church

The Late Gothic church (1449-1525) is the only building still remaining from the medieval city centre. The church received its current shape around 1525, but took heavy damage during the bombardment in May 1940. It now stands in striking contrast to the new architecture that surrounds it. Besides its regular church services, the building now also houses a permanent exhibition entitled ‘A monument full of stories’.

Luchtsingel

The Luchtsingel connects Rotterdam North to the Centre and revitalises a forgotten area. The project consists of a wooden pedestrian bridge 390-metres long, The DakAkker (Urban Roof Farm) on Schieblock, a public area at the former station Hofplein and park Pompenburg.
