Chocoladefabriek Pette-Boon, Industrial architectural complex in Wormerveer, Netherlands
The Pette-Boon complex features a prominent cacao tower and production hall constructed with reinforced concrete, marking early industrial architecture innovation.
Established in 1872 as Chocoladefabriek J. Pette Hzn, the factory reached peak production in the 1930s with 400 employees before Boon's acquisition in 1937.
The buildings represent the New Building architectural movement from the 1920s, designed by architect Mart J. Stam using experimental construction methods.
The restored complex now serves multiple functions, including residential units, retail spaces, a public library, and office facilities.
During restoration in 2003, engineers split the factory building in half to prevent structural stress from natural temperature variations.
