The Het Scheepvaartmuseum designed by Amsterdam based Dok Architecten breathes new life into a 17th century maritime warehouse.
62 tonnes of solar-shielded glass spans the column-less courtyard and leave a small gap around the edge of the roof connection for natural ventilation.The timber framing that held up the original construct is still in position and has been exposed for integration into the visitor experience.
The entire metal construction can be dismantled at any time in the future without causing any harm to the historical base. Demolition timber has been recycled into library tables, and the unusable areas between the girders has been opened to include light-filled work spaces.
