's design vision
The loft is located on the second floor of the former Houweling lemonade factory, and the industrial look is still visible at the entrance, the elevator, and the various heights in the building. Honoring the history gives the building a rugged and robust look, which is reinforced by the old factory lamps in the hall and the former freight elevator, among other things. In 1909, Houweling moved to a new factory on Passeerdersgracht, which was very modern at the time. A few years later, various buildings and warehouses in the vicinity were purchased for expansion purposes.
The loft was renovated in 2019 with an eye for its original character and rugged appearance.
