De Coopvaert

This prestigious office and residential complex was built at the heart of Rotterdam, on the corner of De Blaak and De Coolsingel, at the foot of “De vernielde Stad”, a masterpiece by the Dutch sculptor O. Zadkine.

Based on the design by architect Cees Dam, Loveld produced the sandwich face elements made from sanded and polished concrete. This high-rise building was constructed by the partnership of Dura and Ballast-Nedam. The shell of the building was created with a tunnel mould, while at the same time the face of the building was sealed with the prefab sandwich elements in a 5 day cycle. Waterproofing of the building was guaranteed by a Deventer rubber seam profile, fitted during the production process at the factory.
