CONTENT SPECIALIST RESHIFT HAS FOUND A NEW WORKPLACE WITH WORKING CAFE IN A FORMER OLD R.A.C. GARAGE ON THE NIJVERHEIDSWEG IN HAARLEM. THE BEAUTIFUL BUILDING WITH CHARACTER WAS COMPLETED IN LATE 2021. IT IS PACKED WITH STYLE ELEMENTS AND IS THEREFORE SUITABLE FOR A CREATIVE CLUB LIKE RESHIFT.
Reshift’s building was once built as a maintenance place for central government cars. Some renovation was therefore necessary. To turn this garage into a suitable home, Reshift engaged Delft-based Vakwerk Architecten for the design. Where we stepped in for the construction advice. A nice challenge soon appeared.
LIMITATIONS ARE THERE TO BE ADDRESSED
With the limitations of the existing structure, but also with concern for the preservation of the existing structure, we structurally designed the renovation and new construction plan. We advised to use durable products while preserving the existing structure as much as possible. The roof construction is a wooden beam, supported by a steel frame which is in sight, remains the same as the existing roof construction. A nice detail is that a spiral staircase was harvested from a donor building. Because of the limited working space on site, a small pile-driving rig and a light system floor on the first floor were used. Applying light lifting equipment was why a perk.
INTENSIVE PROJECT
To arrive at a good advice, we spent quite a bit of time modeling and clashing, with input from the various disciplines within the BIM model. So, our advice can be called thorough. During the construction we remained actively involved, which enabled us to adjust where necessary and allows us to say that we used our knowledge and skills in this project from A to Z. And….. the result is impressive!

The new office building of Dicht women’s clothing brand Studio Anneloes in Amsterdam Osdorp was recently completed. Together with Heembouw Architecten and contractor Heembouw Kantoren, they took the first step for the design, after which Pelecon was soon engaged for the structural issue.
In particular, the canopy at the front of the building, but also the heart of the office where the showroom is located, needed thorough structural support. Mainly because of the limited building height from the zoning plan, a compact construction was chosen for the building, with small spans and integrated steel girders.

We have since completed many automotive assignments. For several of these assignments we have worked with partner #Mies Architectuur. For us a fine sparring partner with a lot of knowledge and where half a word is enough. This results for our client in a complete advice in which the visual and structural design fit together seamlessly.

Harders Plaza in Harderwijk is a place that Pelecon knows like the back of its hand. Years ago, we provided structural advice for the transformation of the ice rink into a go-kart track with party center. This mainly concerned the parking decks that had to be placed in the old ice hockey hall in order to give the building a new function. Extra nice that we were also approached again for the constructive advice for the new building on this site. The go-kart track and conference center were demolished and made way for phase 1 of a new shopping complex.

The partially transparent barracks fit the firefighters like a glove. Moreover, from the circular concrete foundation to the roof, the building is sustainably designed and built.
Together with architect RoosRos Architecten and contractor BMN De Klerk we formed the construction team of the new fire station of Papendrecht. An intensive period of designing resulted in the start of construction at the end of August 2020. The building is located on the same site right next to the municipal yard that was also designed by us.

Right next to Oisterwijk’s train station is the old Leesten factory. This has been expanded with a future-proof, smart and sustainable business building. Meanwhile, the first tenants have moved into the full-service office units. Next to and connected to the existing Leesten factory, which is already serving as a business building, a dynamic working environment has been created on three floors with many shared facilities.
