Afarai

The re-development of the fhe first seven arched spaces of the former Station Hofplein building is finished. The MINI MALL, a mini shopping mall for creative entrepreneurs, is ready to join Rotterdams’ city life. The first seven arches have been fully restored to their original monumental state. The existing interior has been completely stripped, to accomodate the new MINI MALL. A nightclub, restaurants, coffee bars and creative retail are connected by a internal event space. The exterior facades will create transparency and add a new visual layer to the urban space. AFARAI and Pena Architecture teamed up to get busy on this huge redevelopment project and we are very proud! For more pictures of the project, click here.
