Lloyd Yard Rotterdam Block / WE architecten + Paul de Ruiter Architects + ZUS

November 1, 2024 Pilar Caballero 0

At the Rotterdam Lloyd Pier, ships used to dock, sailors unloaded their goods, and ships departed for the Dutch East Indies. The streetscape of this historic port area was defined by large sheds and warehouses. In 2024, this place has been transformed into a lively residential and working area. Lloyd Yard, with 136 energy-neutral homes, a series of different outdoor spaces and a catering facility, is the final piece of this transformation. To emphasise the port history of the Lloydkwartier, the completed buildings are robust and unpolished. In addition, it is a permeable block, anchored in its surroundings. High gates provide access to the adventurous, sheltered from the wind, courtyard. The eye-catcher of the building is the ‘Maaswindow’, a big opening in the block with swing, which offers a phenomenal view of the Maas and is accessible to all residents.
