September 2026: a long road to a new floor
The transformation of Pakhuys 1892 is continuing at full pace. In July the outlines became visible, and now the spaces inside are taking shape more clearly too.
A special moment was pouring the sand-cement screed on the ground floor. Because a truck can't reach the building through the narrow streets, the screed was pumped inside through a long hose, which had to wind its way through the streets of Muurhuizen. Just like when the steel trusses were hoisted in, the historic surroundings called for a smart approach here too. On the upper floors we chose a magnesite floor. This lightweight floor is needed for the building's structure, so we put as little load as possible on the historic load-bearing frame.
The walls have also been closed in and the windows are fitted. The roof of the listed house is fully finished, with new window frames and the roof tiles in place.
Things are moving fast in the warehouse too: the corridor area is ready for the screed, the lift and the aluminium glazed frontage.

July 2026: the project starts to take shape.
At the Muurhuizen project in Amersfoort, great progress has been made over the past period. The building is taking shape step by step, and the future character and appearance of the space are starting to emerge.
The most important milestone was the installation of the new steel trusses and steel staircases. To position these large structural elements, the roof was temporarily opened and the components were lifted into the building using a crane. Working within the narrow streets and historic surroundings of Muurhuizen required precise planning and execution. The crane setup and logistics were therefore carefully prepared in advance, ensuring that the work could be carried out safely and efficiently.
Further inside the building, work is progressing at full pace. The carpentry work on the distinctive trapezoidal roof structure is well underway, and the dormer windows have now been installed. As a result, the contours of the renovated building are becoming clearer with each passing week. The restoration work on the façade has been fully completed, bringing the exterior back to its original character and appearance.
This week, part of the scaffolding will be removed. For the first time, a large section of the renovated building will become visible, bringing the transformation one step closer to completion.

De herontwikkeling is inmiddels in volle gang. Het pand staat volledig in de steigers en de voortgang is zowel binnen als buiten goed zichtbaar. Momenteel worden de vloeren gestort, waarmee een stevige basis wordt gelegd voor de nieuwe woonindeling. Tegelijkertijd plaatsen we staalconstructies die zorgen voor de draagkracht en flexibiliteit van de appartementen aan de buitenzijde voeren we zorgvuldig herstelwerk uit aan het karakteristieke gevelmetselwerk. Elk detail krijgt aandacht om de historische uitstraling te behouden. De authentieke kozijnen worden waar mogelijk gerestaureerd en aangevuld met nieuwe, hoogwaardige ramen die passen bij het monumentale karakter én voldoen aan hedendaagse isolatie-eisen. Daarnaast installeren we duurzame warmtepompen, zodat het project klaar is voor een energiezuinige toekomst.de transformatie wordt met de week zichtbaarder. Het is bijzonder om te zien hoe dit monumentale pand stap voor stap verandert in een hoogwaardige woonomgeving, waarin industrieel erfgoed en modern comfort samenkomen.
What’s next
In the coming period, we will start creating new façade openings, bringing more natural light and space into the apartments. We will also begin the carpentry work for the roof structures and dormer windows. These interventions will give Pakhuys 1892 a contemporary addition, without compromising its historic silhouette.
Redevelopment Update
On the edge of Amersfoort’s historic city centre, in the beautiful Muurhuizen area, we are working on a special project: Pakhuys 1892 is being given a new lease of life. The impressive warehouse, built in 1892 and once used for tobacco storage, is being transformed with respect for its rich history into a modern residential complex featuring nine industrial-style apartments. In addition, we are creating a monumental townhouse with five spacious apartments, including an atmospheric maisonette.
