By opening the side wall of a semi-detached house, the interior changes drastically with a minimal effort. A narrow structure is built against this wall as an extension of the three existing rooms on the ground floor. The structure behaves as a wintergarden, bringing daylight in the heart of the house but also involving the garden in the interior. Continue reading RAAMWERK

The existing site of Rosas – P.A.R.T.S – ICTUS can be read as a conglomerate of various buildings, each established in a different era, each with different initial functions. The proposal will unravel the site with the aim to create a campus, a city within the city. A new ground level is introduced and works as an urban plateau that connects the site with the city but also interconnects the different buildings. A new underground logistic connection allows to remove some old structures which results in three independent buildings. Each with their clear function, identity and addresses. But above all this urban plateau results in unbuilt space, a generous space in between. Continue reading RAAMWERK
