Responsive Suburbia: dwelling and working in IJBurg

Type of project: housing, thesis, individualLocation: IJBurg, AmsterdamSupervisors: Nelson Mota (main) www.nelsonmota.comYpe Cuperus (secondary)Duration of project: 10 monthsDate of completion: June 26, 2013 (MSc.Arch)

Responsive Suburbia is a project of 72 units, addressing housing in suburban areas such as IJBurg. Two dwelling types are distributed around the site forming clusters of live and work units. Apart-ments consist of free-standing, row, and semi-detached typolo-gies, depending on their orientation. The capacity of these units to grow incrementally (‘responsive housing’) is a key feature of this project. Responsive Suburbia proposes an approach to the design of collective spaces, blurring the boundaries between pub-lic and private. The façade materialization corresponds with this notion as well as the idea of balancing individual expression with the community’s identity. The project has an activity strip located between the waterside and residential edge, consisting of land-scape and recreational functions serving as a lively catalyst for the neighbourhood. Responsive Suburbia could be appropriated as a positive example for living collectively, and a healthy model for designing blank development sites such as IJBurg.

Office in Eastern Docklands

Type of project: office/civic building, individualLocation: Amsterdam centre, Piet Heinkade.Supervisor: Engbert van der Zaag www.mir.nlDuration of project: 8 weeksDate of completion: June 2012 (MSc.Arch)

The design project is an office building for a yet-unknown user and is located between the Oostelijke Handelskade and the IJ. The client is a large project developer that wants an efficient and easily rentable building, meaning that the design has to be suit-able for one large-scale tenant and several small-scale tenants. One storey has to have ideally rentable dimensions; separation walls must able to be placed at intervals of 1,8 m (standard grid of 1,8 m for office spaces used); installation facilities should be easily accessible and maintenance requirements must be kept to a minimum with respect to the façade in particular. Every office space has to have an operable window as well as light and sun pro-tection. These spaces must also accommodate flexible workplace installations. The following types of office spaces are required: single-occupancy rooms, 2-person rooms, 4-person rooms, quiet workstations, open-plan offices, and a variety of informal consul-tation rooms. The building has to be as energy efficient as pos-sible. The client contemplates climate façades and concrete-core activation. The challenge primarily lies in designing something interesting within these “generic” parameters.

Reboot / Rescale

Type of project: mass housing, refurbishmentcollaborated with Paul Mulder + Suzanna WeedaLocation: Amsterdam South, Bijlmer districtSupervisors: Olv Klijn www.fabrications.nl Caro van de Venne www.barcodearchitects.comDuration of project: 16 weeksDate of completion: January 2012 (MSc.Arch)

The studio project deals with a quintessential relic of post-war housing in the Netherlands: the Bijlmerflat Kleiburg. Students were called to develop new strategies that reach farther then reno-vation of what is already there, or consolidation from a purely cultural vantage point. By making use of the existing building, new possibilities for this mastodon will be extensively explored. Refurbishing the existing apartment block by means of keeping the structural walls was essential. Dwellings are evenly parti-tioned off every 5m. New typologies for starters, students, young families as well as studios were implemented. The restoration of facade materials was also taken into consideration, transforming the grey and brutalist character into a more appealing, updated and brighter tone. The existing Kleijburg block is closed off and unapproachable. The main issue is that the existing building of 500 dwellings has a lifeless plinth. By raising the block and mak-ing the ground floor more permeable, more activity is generated and the housing complex becomes automatically safer.

Nodular Growth

Type of project: housing, individual. Location: China Town, OttawaSupervisor: Jay Lim www.258researchdesign.comDuration of project: 14 weeksDate of completion: December 2010 (B.Arch)

Medium density Housing Project located on a constrained corner site in Ottawa’s Somerset Heights (770 Somerset Street West). Includes 40 units, parking, commercial space. Nodular Gowth is a new type of urban growth; a micro city within a neighbour-hood. Units among the complex reflect the proportions of the surrounding vernacular housing type: one to two storey, clad in brick. Units are stacked vertically and horizontally to achieve the density of an apartment building. The gaps between the units al-low for extensions or ‘rooms to grow’. These additional spaces incorporate a multitude of usages, such as: a den, guest room, library, winter garden. 40% of the units are equipped with these extensions. Having interconnected streets and nodes transforms an ordinary apartment building into a stacked micro neighbour-hood within the macro city scale. A market hall at grade will serve as a shop for local goods and will additionally cater to various events, exhibitions.

Atelier Factory

Type of project: rehabilitation, individualLocation: Victoria Islands, OttawaSupervisor: John CookDuration of project: 8 weeksDate of completion: March 2011 (B.Arch)

Rehabilitation of historic building. Propose a new use for the her-itage-designated Carbide Mill (1899) located on Victoria Island, Ottawa. Considering a programme which explores evolving cul-tural conditions. Many historical layers are revealed beneath the grey limestone walls of the edifice. Past uses include: a mill facto-ry, storage/depot, a warehouse, a machine shop and a hostel/resi-dence. The Carbide Mill suffered numerous explosions and fires, all of which add to the constant reassembly of structural parts. Recently, various outdoor events have been held at the ruins. The 23 x 84 m open-plan provides a very adaptable and flexible space for a variety of programs, such as the proposed art factory. A rect-angular volume ‘inserted’ within the ruins, adresses the new use to the building. The steel and glass rectangular volume provides a new entrance, a redefined circulation and a gallery space within. Atelier Factory is an artisan community with studios, courtyards, galleries, meeting areas, cafeterias, and viewing platforms onto the surrounding environment. The four storey section of the existing structure houses artist’s studios and an auditorium as well as an archive library on the top floor.

5m Bookstore

Type of project: infill. commercial/public, individualLocation: Glebe, OttawaSupervisor: Federica GoffiDuration of project: 6 weeksDate of completion: April 2009 (B.Arch)

Small-scale urban-block infill to fit within a 5m wide cavity situ-ated along Bank Street, in the heart of Old Ottawa South, also known as The Glebe. A space intended for story telling and story selling. Linear circulation through the building is contrasted by the vertical movement of the moveable book display through the two floors. A new entrance at back is created by extending and glazing the second level with white glass; a ‘floating light box’. An exterior lift structurally supports the overhang. The ground floor is mainly used for selling merchandise, and is also equipped with sliding panels for displaying posters, publications, other works. Upstairs is a 6m high space which slightly slopes to the back, en-hancing the gallery space while forming an auditorium for guest lecturers, story telling for children and exhibitions.
