在设计过程中征求了钢琴本人的意见，最后的建议得到了他的批准。“作为鹿特丹办事处，我们很自豪地被要求把这座具有特色的建筑-以及威廉敏皮耶河上的第一座塔-带入新生活，”V8的米希尔·拉格斯特(Michiel Ra交叉st)说。“我们很荣幸我们的介入受到了伦佐·皮亚诺(Renzo Piano)的欢迎。”

Piano himself was consulted in the design process, with the final proposal receiving his approval. "As a Rotterdam office, we are proud to have been asked to bring this characteristic building—and the first tower on the Wilhelminapier—to new life," said Michiel Raaphorst of V8." And we are honored our intervention is welcomed by Renzo Piano."

随着新的20年租赁协议附加到该建筑物，KPN有机会添加进一步加强，这已经是一个独特的建筑物。其意图是以可持续的方式实现这一目标，从荷兰现有的办事处创造可行的未来工作场所。该项目的核心是通过干预来维护现有塔楼的特性和完整性。

With a new 20 year lease agreement attached to the building, KPN have the opportunity to add further enhancements to what is already a distinctive building. The intention is to achieve this in a sustainable manner, creating viable future workplaces from existing offices in The Netherlands. The core of the project looks to maintain the identity and integrity of the existing tower with interventions.

V8的拟议翻新需要一个完整的玻璃立面，通过顺利地包裹在它周围来补充现有的塔架。新的桥墩在威廉敏皮耶的塔底提供了一个透明的元素，从街道、广场和滨水区创造了三个入口。扩建部分将包括一个礼堂，可容纳350人、2家餐馆、1600个工作站和体验中心，以加强该地区的合作和社区活动。

V8’s proposed renovation entails a complete glass façade, complimenting the existing pylon by wrapping around it smoothly. The new plinth offers an element of transparency at the base of the tower on the Wilhelminapier, creating three access points from the street, the square, and the waterfront. The extension will include an auditorium to accommodate 350 people, 2 restaurants, 1600 workstations and Experience Centre, to increase collaboration and community events in the area.

随着工程的进行，KPN塔的翻修工程将于2017年底完成。

With construction underway, work on the KPN Tower’s renovations is set to be completed by the end of 2017.
