De Zwarte Hond presents De Boezem, an imposing residential complex including a courtyard garden. Located in the central Rotterdam district of Rubroek, the project responds to the growing inner-city demand for moderately priced rental housing.

With its austere, rhythmic facade and primary use of concrete and brick, De Boezem radiates powerful simplicity in line with existing architecture in Rotterdam. Catering to diverse target groups, it helps diversify the neighbourhood and boost it financially.
