J. JA In Rotterdam’s Stok building, which is one hundred years old, architects have implemented a contemporary intervention, therefore establishing a precedent for a novel way to minimizing the carbon impact… In the port of Rotterdam, the Maassilo is a well-known landmark that represents the industrial history of the Netherlands. Since its construction by Ar. J.P. Stok in 1906, the building has undergone a number of interventions, including closure and reopening in 2004. It currently houses a large event space with a capacity of 5000 people, a seven-floor co-working space known as the Creative Factory, and it has recently undergone its most significant transformation, which is the installation of a new sustainable roof that connects the entire building. Through the implementation of the new design, the roof and the last levels of the structure are transformed to reveal the stunning geometries that were concealed inside the concrete silos. The Event Deck is a multifunctional outdoor space that can accommodate up to one thousand people. It is accompanied by the Sky Garden, which is elevated at a height of thirty-five meters and spans an area of 950 square meters. In this garden, visitors can enjoy the variety of plants that change throughout the year. This Event Deck is finished with a multifunctional tribune that links level 7 (the Creative Factory) and floor 10 (Factory010) with the Event Deck. Additionally, it contains below a multipurpose room that is 230 square meters of auxiliary space for events that take place outside. The nightclub’s main hall is transformed into a dynamic tiered area that is exposed to the skyline of the city via a new glass box as a result of the addition, which changes the inner gloomy space into a glass box. A diaphanous and translucent environment is presented by the Skybox. It is equipped with a system of two glass facades that enables it to adjust to the climatic conditions that are present throughout the year, shielding itself from precipitation, wind, and sunlight. The rhythm of the concealed silo construction is reflected on the façade of the skybox, which incorporates the structure of the skybox. There is a tiered tribune that connects the levels of the main room, Skybox, and mezzanine, which results in the creation of a dynamic crossroads of view. Creating a natural isolation for the building and acting as a cold carpet for a big installation of solar panels is the purpose of an Energy Farm, which is a green roof that is 3,300 square meters in size. The amount of power that is generated by this roof is sufficient to meet the building’s electrical requirements in the event that regular activity occurs. Batteries are utilized to store the energy that is created by the solar panels, and the space that is available inside the silos acts as storage for these batteries. Additionally, the structure is outfitted with a storm absorption system that is equipped with a green roof in addition to storing capacity in the silos. This system is designed to assist the city of Rotterdam in draining the plentiful rainfall that is characteristic of the atmosphere in the Netherlands. Additionally, when it is necessary, this water that has collected may also be used to generate electricity. In addition to highlighting the sustainable values of the project, which was selected by the municipality of Rotterdam as the best project to transform the Maassilo roofs, the project also establishes a blueprint for the responsible utilization of rooftops not only in Rotterdam but all over the world. Additionally, the concept may be used to encourage the creation of multipurpose roofs as well as novel situations that can showcase the advantages of multifunctional roofs. The issue that arises now is, will it? Take a look at the pictures on the website indiaartndesign.com.
