Location and Area

The WEST507 project, located at Westzeedijk 507 in Rotterdam, is in the monumental Ocean House, a building with a rich history and striking architecture. This former office building, originally built in 1909 and partially rebuilt after World War II, has now been transformed into a unique coliving complex in the lively Delfshaven district. The monumental appearance of the building, with its impressive brick facades and historical details, has been preserved and forms a beautiful contrast to the modern residential concept realised here. Residents enjoy not only the building’s cultural value, but also its excellent connections to Rotterdam city centre and the versatility of its surroundings.

Living

WEST507 offers a unique living experience with 183 apartaments divided into three types: maisonettes, live-work apartments and penthouses. The combination of luxury elements and authentic details makes this coliving complex special. The residences retain the historic look of the Ocean House, while being adapted to the modern needs of urban residents. There are 114 unique maisonette condos, each with entresols for extra living space. These lofts offer an open and airy feel thanks to high ceilings and large windows that emphasise the industrial character of the Ocean House. There are also offers for residents who want to combine work and home. These homes have extra space for a home office, studio or practice, with also a mezzanine for multi-purpose use. On the top floor are the penthouses, equipped with spacious roof terraces offering stunning views of Rotterdam.

Sustainability

When renovating the Oceaanhuis, attention was paid not only to preserving its monumental character, but also to sustainability. Originally constructed with a concrete skeleton and steel window profiles, the building has been carefully adapted to contemporary standards of energy efficiency. The facades have been restored and insulated, and modern technologies have been introduced to reduce energy consumption. This ensures that the Oceaanhuis has a sustainable future, without compromising the historic value of the property.

Living concept

The residential concept in WEST507 is all about community-living, where shared spaces and amenities are at the heart of life in the Ocean House. Under the banner of The Cohesion, a new way of living together is being created, where residents not only share a home, but also a lifestyle. The former stately Julianaz Hall and Tudor and Gothic halls have been transformed into communal spaces where residents can meet for social activities, work or relax. In addition, a modern gym has been built under the building, which residents can use to stay active and healthy.
