Helftheuvelweg
's-Hertogenbosch
A great metamorphosis
At the roundabout at Helftheuvelweg in 's-Hertogenbosch, a former Rabobank office is situated. The office has been the subject of many discussions about its architecture by residents of 's-Hertogenbosch. A building that one labeled as 'striking' while the other found its architecture 'special'. Some people even called the building 'ugly'. One thing is for certain: the building was a recognizable icon to every resident of 's-Hertogenbosch.
The former Rabobank office has undergone a remarkable transformation and has been converted into a light and spacious residential complex called De Wester. De Wester offers 82 independent rental properties of 60 m² on average.
The spacious and bright studios and apartments feature a large living room with an open plan kitchen and a modern bathroom. The built-in kitchen is equipped with an electric hob, an extractor hood, a refrigerator, a stainless-steel sink, and multiple cabinets. The units, that vary in size from 37 m² to 63 m², each have their own storage space that is located in or near the apartment.
Although the contours of the building have remained intact, the transformed building now has a modern look. Dark brown bricks have replaced the old gray façade. The twenty-year-old plump superstructure gave way to clean lines and large glass walls.
