Ungerpleinflat, Residential tower at Ungerplein, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Ungerpleinflat is a residential tower located at the northern corner of Schiekade and Ungerplein in Rotterdam. The structure features a concrete skeleton framework with continuous bands of windows running across its thirteen stories.
The building was designed between 1928 and 1934 by architect Jo van den Broek working with Heinrich Leppla, following Nieuwe Bouwen principles. This approach represented a fresh direction in Dutch residential design during the early twentieth century modernist movement.
The building stands at a busy intersection where two major roads meet, and its corner position gives it a distinctive presence in the street scene. The continuous bands of windows that wrap around the facade create a sense of openness that feels different from earlier residential buildings in the city.
The building is easy to spot due to its corner location and continuous window bands that distinguish it from older neighboring structures. The interior is largely hidden from public view, but the facade clearly displays the modern construction methods used.
The building earned Rijksmonument protection status for its role in Dutch architectural history. The original floor layout combined different apartment types on the same levels, accommodating various ways of living and household circumstances.
