𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 The Netherlands faces pressing issues such as housing shortages and a lack of space or opportunities for construction of new residential buildings. There is also a desire for sustainability, energy transition, and qualitative improvement of existing buildings. One solution is the utilisation of unused (mostly flat) roofs by creating so-called ‘top-ups’ (𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀). This document provides a brief comparison of the private law requirements in the 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 and 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 regarding the realisation of a top-up on a multi-unit residential building divided into apartment rights. 👉 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲: https://lnkd.in/dybSawyq Should you have any questions regarding this topic, please contact Femke Stroucken, Mariëlle de Blok or Emma Schouten. #RealEstate #TopUps #RooftopExtensions #CMSlaw

Framework Friday / Markthal Rotterdam Architects: MVRDV Glazing Specialists: Octatube Hey LinkedIn, This #FrameworkFriday, we’re back in The Netherlands diving into the architectural triumph that is the Markthal in Rotterdam. Join me in exploring a project that seamlessly blends functionality, innovation, and aesthetic brilliance through cutting-edge glazing techniques. The Vision: Markthal Rotterdam isn’t just a market; it’s an architectural icon. Designed by the wizards at MVRDV and brought to life with the glazing expertise of Octatube, this project redefines urban space by integrating a vibrant market hall with residential and commercial units, all under one spectacular arched roof. Innovative Cable Net Facades: The Markthal’s six cable net facades are a testament to engineering prowess and aesthetic ingenuity. These transparent facades allow natural light to flood the interior, creating an inviting atmosphere while maintaining structural integrity. The delicate yet robust cable net structure is both a visual and functional highlight, showcasing the potential of advanced glazing solutions in large-scale projects. Sustainable Design: Sustainability is at the heart of the Markthal. The use of high-performance glazing minimizes energy consumption by maximizing natural light and enhancing thermal efficiency. This approach not only reduces the building’s carbon footprint but also sets a benchmark for eco-friendly urban design. Artistic Integration: One of the most striking features of the Markthal is its expansive interior mural, “Horn of Plenty,” by artists Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam. The glazing elements play a crucial role in preserving and showcasing this art piece, turning the market hall into a massive art installation that can be admired from various vantage points. Urban Connectivity: The Markthal is more than just a building; it’s a dynamic hub that connects people, commerce, and culture. The transparent facades facilitate a seamless interaction between the interior and the surrounding urban environment, fostering a sense of community and accessibility. The Outcome: Today, the Markthal stands as a beacon of innovation in architectural glazing, embodying the harmony of form and function. It exemplifies how thoughtful design and advanced glazing techniques can transform urban spaces into sustainable, vibrant landmarks. Markthal Rotterdam—a project where innovation meets artistry, creating a living, breathing space that elevates urban life. #FrameworkFriday #ArchitecturalGlazing #StructuralGlazing #Glass #Glazing #MarkthalRotterdam #SustainableDesign #InnovativeGlazing #UrbanArchitecture #CableNetFacades #EcoFriendlyBuilding #GlazingInnovation #Architecture #UrbanRevitalization #GlassEngineering #BespokeGlazing
