The Salon
The salon is placed at the centre of the shed. The centre, which was once a place for work and water flow, becomes a place for information, gathering and interaction flows.

The skylights allow natural daylight to enter the Salon and the shed while the angled hanging mirrors support the water to reveal the shed layers (textures, materials, water canals, basins, chimneys and skylights)

The plan
Creating a flexible Salon space with acoustic curtains while the water stream unfold the shed's layers

The water stream uses filtered rainwater, filtered with a Helophyte filter located at the square adjacent to the shed. The water cools down the shed in the summer, while a portable electric heater is used to warm up the salon, meeting and working rooms. The wooden floor and reused furniture create a warm atmosphere in the building, while the green spaces enhance the air quality.

The water has been the reason for the existence of the building.
The tannery was placed outside the city centre in the harbour due to its great need for water *and the bad smell.
Leathers were also imported from other places, and therefore the building needed to be connected with the Maas and the railways.
The process in the tannery needed a lot of water. The floor used to be wet.
*The water canals and basins are still visible in the shed. See images.
The Water stream, with its contrasting shape, passes above these elements.
*Tannery images are from Dongen tannery.

The curtains create an intimate space inside the shed. The salon is placed at the centre of the shed, while the small gathering room and the workspaces are adjacent to the northern and southern facade.
The hanging method is typical for a tannery. See reference images.
A leather knot is added to the curtain to gather it when the salon is not in use.

The mirrors support the water to reflect more light. The intensity of the reflected light depends on the angel of the light and thus the seasons. See sun studies.
