Hofpoort

The Hofpoort building reaches 95 meters in height and contains 27 floors of office space with exposed concrete surfaces and geometric forms.

Architect Piet Zanstra completed the construction of this office building in 1957, during the post-war reconstruction period of Rotterdam.

The building represents the brutalist architectural movement of the 1950s through its minimalist design principles and raw material expression.

The structure provides office spaces for various businesses in central Rotterdam, with direct access to public transportation at Hofplein station.

The building changed its name from Shellgebouw to Hofpoort in 2016, marking a transition in its corporate identity and local recognition.
