‘The half-timbered house’, a former tool shed for the Public Works Department
History
When leather processing was banned in the old town in 1631, the tanners settled here next to the existing tanneries (Looiersbuurt). This unique building was completed in 1895 as a tool storage facility for the Public Works Department.
The building is distinguished by its facade, which is constructed of wooden half-timbering that divides the ground into facades. The compartments are filled with brickwork, window surfaces, and traditionally large doors. The wooden half-timbering stands out because it is painted white, while the brickwork and windows are brick red and monument green, respectively. The roof is a traditional gable roof with Tuile du Nord tiles.
The interior is partly historic and partly modern, complete with contemporary comfort and luxury. Where possible, the history of the building has been left visible.
The garden room has the same soothing light blue beamed ceiling, as well as wooden paneling with elegant carvings.

Coffee is naturally bitter. Over the centuries, various methods have been devised to suppress the bitter taste, bring out the other aromas, and regulate the amount of caffeine. A basic rule is that the caffeine and bitter taste are absorbed into the water slightly more slowly than the other aromas. Many factors determine the taste, such as the coffee bean, the roasting method, the type of water, the temperature, and the brewing methods. They know all about these things.
