The first projects to be built at https://www.architectureguide.nl/project/item/prj_id/319" class="inline_link">Kop van Zuid are centred around Entrepothaven. They include a https://www.architectureguide.nl/project/item/prj_id/1880" class="inline_link">housing complex designed by cepezed, who were also involved in converting the free warehouse (https://www.architectureguide.nl/project/item/prj_id/1881" class="inline_link">Vrij Entrepot). On the short side of the triangular square in front of the Entrepot building, part of the old building has been extended along Stieltjesstraat with a small block containing old-age dwellings and office space. This block terminates in a semicircular apartment building that seamlessly draws together the square and the harbour. The rounded facade is in fact a distinctive staggering of individual timber fronts. The remaining development around Entrepothaven is the work of Fons Verheijen.
