Historic Post Office redesign, Rotterdam, Netherlands
ODA New York has been selected to redesign the historic post office of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The iconic Postkantoor has sat vacant for more than a decade, and now the adaptive reuse project aims to bring new life to the city center. The mixed-use design was made to both preserve and adapt the Postkantoor's original construction. The POST will be a civic node distinguished by seamless connectivity to the surrounding city. A new 150 meter-tall tower will rise towards the rear of the Postkantoor and straddle the existing open courtyard, on the new Rodezand wing.
