At the corner of Turfmarkt and Kleiweg, the oldest street in Gouda and one of the city’s main shopping streets, a historic corner building has been carefully transformed. Dating from around 1880, the building was designed by Gouda architect Jacobus Petrus Dessing, son of Chris Dessing, known for, among other things, the Gouwekerk. Its location and architecture give the building a prominent and distinctive place in the city centre.
White House Development completely redeveloped the interior of the building, with the aim of preserving its distinctive exterior and listed interior features. Historic elements such as wooden beams, columns and trusses were retained and left visible wherever possible. At the same time, the spaces were adapted to meet today’s residential needs and comfort standards. The design was created by Design Studio MJ.
A Rituals store has opened on the corner of the ground floor. Five apartments have been created on the upper floors, each with its own layout and identity. The homes are spread across three levels: living space on the first floor, bedrooms on the second, and an attic floor with outdoor space. These outdoor areas are sheltered between the existing roof structures, ensuring privacy and a direct connection with the city centre.
The work was carried out by Aertgeerts Bouw, with Peters & van Leeuwen as the structural engineer.
