Zinc Cladding

At Herestraat 5 in Groningen, a striking transformation has been achieved. This historic building,renowned for its distinctive character, has received a contemporary upgrade through a modern addition. The new top floors, featuring a sleek design, are clad in white zinc with contrasting black accents. This choice creates a dynamic juxtaposition between the traditional architecture of the original structure and the modern extension.

The addition, consisting of two extra floors, not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also provides additional living space. The upper level of the addition includes an externalbalcony, while the lower level features an internal balcony.

Despite the contrast intime and style, the old and new elements blend harmoniously, merging theoriginal building’s character with the modern addition. Herestraat 5 stands out as a unique and welcoming landmark in the heart of Groningen.
