The 40-meter height former grain silo is the largest industrial building in the Meelfabriek post-industrial development and it will be transformed into the Meelfabriek Hotel. In order to retain the silo identity and thus its industrial heritage, the project aims to preserve as much as possible its monolithic exterior and majestic interior, transforming the roughness of the exposed concrete into raw beauty.⁠
