Lloyd Yard: energy-neutral homes in the historic harbor area of Rotterdam

At Lloyd Pier in Rotterdam, 136 energy-neutral homes have been completed as part of "Lloyd Yard": a unique, sustainable residential complex designed by Paul de Ruiter Architects, WE architects, and bureau ZUS. To emphasize the harbor history of the Lloyd Quarter, the completed buildings are robust and unpolished. The standout feature of the structure, in addition to a lush inner garden, is the public "Maas Window" with a swing, offering a phenomenal view over the Maas and accessible to all residents. Lloyd Yard was developed by KondorWessels Vastgoed and consists of homes, ten self-build plots, a hospitality venue, an indoor bicycle storage facility, and an underground parking garage with shared cars.
