Weenahuis
The blue-glass Weenahuis, situated on Hofplein and Coolsingel, was built in the 80s by Klunder Architecten, just like the adjacent Weena Tower (also known as 'the punch card'). This architectural firm designed several well-known 80s architectural works in Rotterdam. For example, the three towers along the Boompjes, formerly a renovation of the Theater…
Gebouw Weena
In 1964, the renowned architect Huig Maaskant designed the robust 'Weena' building as the headquarters for oil giant Texaco. The Hilton Hotel, situated next to this building, was considered the maximum standard for high-rise construction in the city center at the time. Hence, the building seeks space in the elongated facade and the open…
Schiekadeblok
The Schiekadeblok is an institution in Rotterdam. Home to Annabel, Biergarten, Roodkapje, Poing, Operator Radio, and the starting point of the Luchtsingel: one of the last raw spots in the city center. And everyone has known for years that things were going to change here. But now the time has really come. Rotterdamse Dakendagen is building…
P-garage Mobypark Delftsestraat
This roof, sandwiched between the mirrored high-rises on the Weena, the Weenatoren, and the Schiekadeblok, is known among Rotterdammers primarily for the dangerously overhanging red BMW sticking out of the roof on the Poortstraat side. This astonishing scene is one of the most famous artworks by the collective Kunst & Vaarwerk. This pop-like…

Doelstraat – Pompenburgflat
The Pompenburgflat, located on Doelstraat and Hofplein, was designed by architect Carel Weeber and completed in 1981. The building has recently been frequently in the news due to the large-scale redevelopment plans for this area. The Pompenburgflat, with 226 social rental apartments, is set to make way for RISE, the tallest…
Rotterdam Centraal Station
The new Rotterdam Central Station – a striking building with that oh-so-distinctive, jutting peak – was opened by King Willem-Alexander in 2014. Rotterdam residents have become accustomed to this ultra-modern station hall, but the building still frequently elicits audible "oohs" and "aahs."

Lijnbaanflat City House
The city of the future! That is how the people of Rotterdam viewed their city center during the reconstruction. The Lijnbaan, including the apartment buildings and small parks, was considered the pinnacle of progress. However, not much was done with the rooftops. So, no recreation, no greenery, and not even rooftop parking.
Lijnbaanflat Joost Banckertplaats
The Lijnbaan was considered the pinnacle of reconstruction progress. Now it's time to capitalize on the potential of the rooftops as well.
Kruispleinflat
The Kruisplein residential building, at the corner of Diergaardesingel and Kruisplein, was completed in 1985 as the first project of the later renowned architectural firm Mecanoo.
