The facade of the building, which once housed a bakery for three generations of the Verfaille family. <\/span>had, returns in the form as conceived in 1945. A very deliberate choice, <\/span>says Pelle Poiesz of HP Architects in Rotterdam.
\n<\/span>
,"When we designed the seven houses around it, we assumed that <\/span>Spoorstraat 73 would remain standing. Simply because it was not possible to <\/span>buy. That is why we consciously chose the new homes in terms of appearance <\/span>and to let the use of materials contrast strongly with that one quirky little building.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\nLogically<\/h3>\n
urban planning firm West 8 (which is the supervisor for Helder Vastgoed for <\/span>the urban renewal in Den Helder, ed.) came up for discussion that we that contrast <\/span>wanted to preserve the houses between Spoorstraat 73 and the other properties.

The question then is: which design is the starting point? Because of the bakery shop <\/span>It turns out that several construction drawings exist in the archive: from 1921, <\/span>1945 and 1980. The 1921 design was rejected because the roof was far too low.\u00a0 <\/span>sat. In 1980, the distinctive curved shop front was replaced by the current modern one. Straightforward. So that was ruled out too. That left the 1945 design. With a characteristic bay window on the first floor and a curved facade on the ground floor, plus a slightly recessed front door. Exactly as was common at many pre- and post-war shops in Spoorstraat and Koningstraat.<\/p>\nChallenges<\/h3>\n

Moreover, at Woningstichting\/Helder Vastgoed, they do like special things. <\/span>details. "If you look at the current building at Spoorstraat 73," says Poiesz, "you see <\/span>on one of the side facades the outlines of walls of the demolished <\/span>adjacent buildings. In the new construction, we retain those same contours. <\/span>come back.''\u2019
