Schmidt Zeevis

Schmidt Zeevis is a well-known fishmonger in The Netherlands. Due to its big success it has simply become too big for its current location and so A&W Architekten designed a perfectly fitting distribution centre: a fishing boat!

The new location offers a lot of possibilities for Schmidt Zeevis. Their shop in the centre of Rotterdam became too small due to a growing demand, which caused parking problems for both their customers and suppliers. This brand new building is a different kettle of fish! With over 8000m² of space this will no longer be a problem.

In addition, this ship-shaped building will not only be home to the shop as it has 5000m² more space than its previous location. It also includes a large cold store and there is plenty of space to grow even further in the future.
