National monument Arsenaal in RenovatieTotaal

09-01-2023

In the Municipality of Vlissingen, we are busy transforming the former armoury into a luxury hotel. In RenovatieTotaal, André van Deursen and Henk Middelkoop give an insight into how the characteristic appearance is safeguarded, while various innovative climate concepts are applied.

"We designed a radical restructuring to incorporate a luxury hotel in a historic setting in a reversible and therefore circular way: everything can easily be taken out in say a couple of decades and then you have the authentic shell at your full disposal again. We discussed this climate concept with the client AVV Beheer BV, which values restoration of Zeeland monuments."

"By restoring some parts of the building, such as the large, zinc roof, we are restoring the authentic image of this area of Vlissingen. Besides the Arsenal complex, the Arsenal also includes a theatre building, a watchtower and the Carrousselflat. Other parts have been renovated before or will be in the coming years. The transformation of the Arsenal means an upgrading of the appearance and experience of the whole area."
