Broerenkerk Church - HistoryThe Broerenkerk church was part of the Dominican monastery founded in 1465.

The monastery was closed in 1580 and the monks were expelled.

From 1640 until 1982 the church was used for Protestant services.

After a restoration in 1983-1988 it has been used for cultural events.

Now it is a bookstore.

BK Architecten transformed the old church into a beautiful bookstore.

Mingling with talent in the history of the place moderner furniture, this space is very interesting to discover.

Jumbo Hostel, Stockholm AirportThe Jumbo Hostel – housed within a decommissioned Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet

Located at Arlanda Airport near Stockholm, Sweden.

Opened in 2008.

450 seats were stripped out and the aircraft’s interior thoroughly sanitized.

The plane is towed to the entrance to Stockholm-Arlanda Airport.

It is placed on a concrete foundation with the landing gear secured in two steel cradles.

Dismantled the old interior, new paint and new decorations for the rooms.

The hostel was built like any building, subjected to all the demands on climate control and insulation.

Boasting 79 beds in total, the Jumbo Hostel offers flat screen TVs in every room. Twenty seven rooms contain three beds each, with the more exclusive “cockpit suite” located on the upper deck, complete with its own bathroom.

Heating is achieved with an air-air inverter.
