This steel-frame rooftop extension in Roosendaal offers an innovative solution for urban expansion. The project adds five new apartments to a former monastery, demonstrating how steel-frame construction can meet the growing need for inner-city housing. The method provides several advantages over traditional building techniques, including lightweight construction, faster building speeds, and easy integration with existing installations.
The extension’s lightweight design and prefabrication opportunities allowed for a quicker, more sustainable build, all while maintaining flexibility in design. This method also ensures that the construction process is weather-independent, making it an ideal choice for complex urban projects in city centers.
