Veemgebouw, Strijp S

Eindhoven, The Netherlands

The mast has been craned into place on top of the Veemgebouw. The design features integrated LED lighting, continuing the local tradition for night time illuminations across the city's skyline. It echoes the mast that stood on top of the building in its previous incarnation as a factory for the Philips electrical company.

Elsewhere, tenants have moved in to the newly constructed rooftop apartments, and construction work to commercial spaces within the existing building is scheduled to complete in early autumn.
