Commissioned by 2ER+ Project Development, JMW Architects proposed a design for the former military police barracks / municipal archive at 121(a) Molenstraat.  Seven apartments will be realized at this location with nature inclusive public spaces around it. The rear facade will house a stairwell that will be completely covered up in order to conceal the 'scar' of the connection to the demolished rear building, and to add a new level through which the second floor can be reached. The interventions in the building are made with light materials and are dismountable.
