Strukton Bouw is working on the Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam. The premises used to be the site of the Rijkspostspaarbank (Post Office Savings Bank) and the Sweelinck Conservatorium was housed there until 2008.
Restoring and extending
Strukton Bouw is restoring as many of the authentic features as possible, including most of the floors made of Javanese teak and American pine. They are currently hidden under carpets and ‘floating’ floors. The lowered ceilings are also being removed. Furthermore, Strukton Bouw is building an extension to create room for all the hotel’s facilities. The supply and storage of building materials presents a logistical challenge.
The hotel will open its doors in the summer of 2011.
