Gevelrestauratie GSH
The national heritage building at Hinthamerstraat 63 has been restored with wooden six-pane sliding windows and vacuum glazing in its original style. The building at number 65 has been carefully restored with T-sliding windows and a subtle reference to its hotel function.
The appearance of the windows of the listed building at Hinthamerstraat 63 has been restored to its original state. Drafty plastic and aluminum windows have been replaced with wooden sliding six-pane windows, providing good draft and noise insulation with electric control. The 2.8-meter-high sliding windows are elegantly designed with vacuum glazing and a profiled central stile, matching the architectural style of the Lodewijk XVI façade. The carved leaf motif in the hotel’s logo shows a refinement in the detailing.
The windows on the upper floor are framed by simply profiled mouldings, which, along with the existing window frames, have been carefully preserved. Damaged and rotten sections have been repaired. Cracks in the brick façade have been restored, and the heavy, profiled cornice has been repainted in the same color as the window frames.
The national heritage building at Hinthamerstraat 63 and the the building at number 65 are part of the Good Seasons Hotel complex, located between Kerkstraat and Hinthamerstraat. The hotel’s entrance is no longer on Hinthamerstraat but has been relocated to Kerkstraat, meaning the hotel’s presence is no longer visible in the street. The façade of number 65 is not listed as a monument, but it still deserves careful attention within the protected city area. We have chosen to install T-sliding windows here, in line with the pre-1970 situation. On the first floor, a H pattern has been added, subtly referencing the building’s function. This small detail adds historical context for the attentive observer, without detracting from the historical character of the façade.
