Article source: WENINK \ HOLTKAMP ARCHITECTEN The Zwarte Silo is an important iconic building which marks the beginning of the harbor area. It lends itself perfectly well for a large public function that attracts people from the region and bring liveliness into the area.

It now provides a venue for street-food vendors to sell their produce.

We wanted to keep the building as raw as possible.

For this reason we have made a large nine-metre opening on the east side which gives an astonishing view over the harbor area.

Long, pitched skylights flood this room with natural light.

These include two large doorways on the north facade, one of which serves as the new entrance to the building.
