The name STEUR is a pledge of honour to prolific Interbellum and early Reconstruction architect Adriaan van der Steur (1893 – 1953). He is known for designing and building Rotterdam icons such as the Boijmans van Beuningen museum, Oogziekenhuis, Erasmiaans Gymnasium, Machinist and the beautiful entrance buildings of the Maastunnel. Van der Steur constructed the STEUR building in 1932, when it still served as a power plant.
Several years ago new life was breathed into the forgotten building. We remodelled it into an active creative haven where design, innovation, sustainability and modern technologies merge with historical architecture.
-Energy
We repurposed many of the original functionalities of the building. Today, abandoned nuclear fallout shelters are used as music studios. The turbine hall is transformed into modern working spaces; still generating energy, but of a creative kind. The colossal furnace still stands proud in the middle of the grounds, inactive, but signifying the monumental nature of STEUR and reminding us to always reach for new heights.
Our monumental building is very energy efficient, despite the fact that it was built in 1929. This is due to our continued efforts to renovate the building and make it future-proof.
We have solar panels, a heat pump for heating, an electric boiler for hot water and greatly improved insulation. The result is Energy Label A++.
