Avant-garde homes and offices
From a former diamond-cutting factory to a sophisticated multi-functional building. The Asscher Building from 1907 was designed by Gerrit van Arkel. This iconic landmark has been transformed into an extraordinary residential and commercial spaces by Villanova architects. The commanding building is unique, incorporating a mix of modern and traditional materials and shapes: steel, brick in contrasting yellow with chiseled hardstone corner stones and accents. But it is also an industrial building, with a special concrete structure that was unprecedented at the time and long, tall factory halls. Here, the diamond cutters were seated at their cutting tables with their backs to the enormous windows which flooded the space in natural light.
The diamond cutting factory was an enclosed complex with a single entrance and a single exit, surrounded by a gate. After its transformation, it is now a multi-functional building with an open character. With office spaces on the ground floor, adjacent to the public front square, which will be transformed into an urban garden.
The monumental main entrance accesses a space for a restaurant with a terrace on the new square. For the residences, there are two individual entrance lobbies on the other side of the building, situated on Dora Tamanaplein. This is also where the elevators are located. The elevator will open

HISTORy
Art Nouveau
This building was once the place where the world's largest diamond was once cut. Made possible by a previously developed technique which had become popular among the international elite. The lucrative trade and prospering business were characteristic of this extraordinary time, La belle époque, in Diamantfabriek.
The building was erected in the industrial Art Nouveau style, an art movement that was popular throughout Europe between 1890 and 1914. Art Nouveau was the expression of the new, of youth, of progress. Characterized by an optimistic world view and confidence in the future, and a penchant for the use of innovative and modern techniques in a range of fields, including architecture and paintings.
