Het Gele Gebouw, eigenlijk gebouw de Vijverhof geheten, werd in 1969 voor stuwadoorsbedrijf Hanno & Co gebouwd. Het werd ontworpen door Kolpa jr. met een kunstwerk van Loekie Metz. Het gebouw wordt tegenwoordig bevolkt door (creatieve) ondernemers, de zeefdrukclub Meshprint en uitgaansgelegenheid MONO.
Joosje van Geest werkt vanuit het wederopbouwpand het Glazen Gebouw aan de Vijverhofstraat/Teilingerstraat, voorheen eigendom van Kramer en Röder IJzerwaren en Gereedschappenhandel. De architectuurhistoricus heeft een voorliefde voor rafelranden in de stad zoals ZOHO, dat zich kenmerkt door ietwat verwaarloosde, middelgrote kantoren uit de jaren ’60.
