Meelfabriek de Sleutels

The industrial site spans thirteen buildings, including ten national monuments and four new structures at the intersection of Oosterkerkstraat and Zijlsingel.

Established in 1896, the mill operated until 1988 and supplied flour to twenty percent of the Dutch population during its peak in the 1950s.

The redevelopment project preserves the industrial heritage while transforming the space into a mixed-use complex for residential, commercial, and cultural purposes.

The complex occupies 67,000 square meters of space and features multiple loading areas, concrete floors supported by eight-sided columns, and large windows for natural light.

The factory structure includes a double spiral staircase designed for vertical goods transport, enhanced by wooden elevators and conveyor belts.
