Surely this was a gem of an assignment to work on. Above the Rituals, on the corner of Kleiweg – Turfweg in Gouda, five homes were completed in December 2020. The renovation of this old building in the city centre started with a survey. The upper floors of the property had not been used for the last 30 years and were poorly maintained, making them dilapidated. The owner very much wanted to know whether a combination of shopping and living could be realised. Pelecon calculated all the existing structures and made a structural calculation for the renewed structure.

Shop and housing project, Santpoort Zuid
Santpoort is a unique new-build project which consists of three sub-projects:
1. a parking basement with a supermarket and flats above;
2. an apartment building
3. semi-detached houses with a garage in between.
The great thing about this project is that existing and new construction come together at this location. Which for us as structural engineers results in a number of challenges that we enjoy taking on!
