According to write Dezeen, the water tower is listed as a national monument and was purchased by a private individual in 2012.
Thanks to the cylindrical shape of the tower, the architects managed to provide a 360-degree view of the city and place four living quarters here.
At the top of the tower, apartments with an area of 400 square meters were created, framed by the exposed metal structure of the former reservoir. The accommodation consists of six levels and overlooks the Dutch city from a glass-walled terrace.
The entrance to the building is from the street, a large wooden door leads between the elevator and the spiral staircase to the cafe on the first floor. An additional entrance was made at the rear of the tower and thin windows were inserted to allow daylight.
An elevator provides direct access to the three studio apartments, each of which has a compact layout with a kitchenette and bathroom, a sleeping area overlooking an open living room.
The design contrasts the rough, exposed brick and metal elements of the original tower structure with white walls and thin black window frames.
"The higher up, the more open the space becomes, creating an impressive sequence of floors and views," - note the studio's experts.
