Hofplein 19 (also known as the Shell office) was the first building to be rebuilt on Hofplein after the bombing of Rotterdam. A typical reconstruction story: due to shortages, architect CA Abspoel had to resort to materials not used in residential construction for this commercial building. An aluminum facade was the result.
In the 70s, this curtain wall was replaced with blue, reflective glass, more in line with the new office buildings of the time. This proved unpopular, and after a thorough renovation in 2018, the mirror was replaced with (more) transparent glass.
The renovated Hofplein 19 once again offers space for entrepreneurs. Up on the roof, you'll find a space with a roof terrace that you can rent and where fun events are regularly held.
Note: Hofplein 19 is on Saturday, June 6 until 15:00 PM opened.
