Roombeek 25 Years
It has been 25 years since the fireworks disaster destroyed the old Roombeek neighborhood. With the upcoming completion of the building “De Weverij”, the reconstruction of the new district is nearing its conclusion. To mark this occasion, Volkskrant Magazine (April 27, 2025) published a walking tour through the area.
About our building De Weverij, they wrote:
“On the site of one of the former buildings of the Twente Textile Company, the last major building from the reconstruction plan is now nearly complete: De Weverij by Tangram Architects. The staggered façade represents the shockwaves of the explosions. The old chimney barely survived the disaster. De Weverij, corner of Hulsmaatstraat and Lonnerkerspoorlaan.”
Highly recommended for enthusiasts!
