Minderbroederssteeg in historic Gouda

After determining that most parts of this monumental building (Rijksmonument) had a history of ages, including the wooden floors and roof structure, we managed to puzzle three nice 3-story dwellings inside, giving this building the revival that it deserves. Energy label A++ could be achieved by applying insulating walls on the inside, 11 mm insulated monumental glass and an air/air heat pump. The big old wooden doors give access to a collective entrance. At both sides of the pitched roof, 3 new dormer windows are added cladded with rusted corten steel.
