The Doors . AMSTERDAM

In an industrial landscape that used to be dominated by shipbuilding yards, dry-docks and mighty cranes, The Doors serves as a beacon for a new future. Amsterdam Buiksloterham is transforming into a vibrant part of the city where living, working, playfulness and sculptural expression come together. The Doors is part of the dynamic masterplan Buiksloterham City-Plots, which was one of the first transformations in this area of Amsterdam. The plan consists of larger building block ensembles that together form a dense and mixed-use neighbourhood. The urban integration of the building into the adjacent developments refine the architectural appearance and the spatiality of the design. Continue reading Space Encounters

BD House . Bergen

In the quaint village of Bergen a modest white villa from the 1950s proved technically and structurally no longer sound for contemporary wishes and demands for living. Yet, after its new occupants, a young family, had lived in the dwelling for a number of weeks, the house proved to be so characteristic that they decided to renovate and extend it, rather than demolish the house. Instead, the design of BD House became a layered transformation in which cultural heritage, sustainable transformation and the rich natural qualities of the area confluence. With its transformation and extension, BD House has not only been enlarged but has also been made future-proof, contributing to the larger transformation of the countryside in which the existing housing stock is becoming more sustainable and adapted to changing wishes and demands for contemporary living.

Wisselspoor . Utrecht

Space Encounters

On the edge of the historic city centre of Utrecht, tucked away between the railway tracks and the Tweede Daalsebuurt, the former Werkspoor terrain can be found. The Wisselspoor neighbourhood is part of the larger transformation of the Werkspoor area into a new energy-neutral housing and inner city densification district. Space Encounters designed a collection of buildings ranging from single-family houses to an apartment block for the first phase of this urban development. These buildings are situated in a master plan that was designed by Studioninedots. Studioninedots also designed the parking garage at the centre of the plan, which is a transformation of a former factory building, while Mees Visser, Zecc and Space Encounters designed the new dwellings.
