Transformation of the Assen office building: sustainable living in Lauwers 1
From office to future-proof residential building
At Lauwers 1 in Assen, we are transforming an existing office building into a new residential building. What was once a monofunctional place is getting a second life as a vibrant living environment.
With transformation of office building into a home and sustainable construction a building is created that meets the needs of today and tomorrow.
