GRADUATION city-solo in Amsterdam Q1, 2015 - Q2, 2015 Masterplan & Final Design Strategy for future housing single households in Coen/ Vlothaven, Amsterdam, the Netherlands Each year, The Netherlands counts 50.000 new singles, varying from young starters to single elderly. All are in need of single apartments which are hard to find as currently, the Dutch housing market does not foresee in the need of single apartments; especially in Amsterdam where housing prices increase rapidly. This project searches for new housing possibilities for the so called city-solos (singles in the city). An important aspect in this project is that it should foresee in housing possibilities at present, as well as in the future. This way, the city-solos can get a permanent foothold in the housing market of Amsterdam. In order for this strategy to succeed, a suitable location needed to be found that would accommodate the needs of the city-solos. Their needs can be divided in four categories: intercity train stations, facility clusters, recreation spots and public spots. Areas which accommodate all four categories are ideal to house the city-solos. Fourteen locations were found suitable of which one is presented here as an example of how this strategy could be implemented. The city-solos are considered to serve as an accelerator for area development. As a city-solo brings a ‘part of the city’ with him, it will attract more people over time looking for different housing typologies. In this way, areas can develop faster than methods used nowadays. The example presented here is the Coen -en Vlothaven. It is an area with an industrial identity located slightly right of the western harbour area of Amsterdam.

MASTERPLAN

The first phase is entirely dedicated to the citysolos. They provide new facilities te create a livable neighbourhood. The complex is intended for collective use. Together, the people can use the roofgardens, the gym, multiple loungerooms and a laundromat. This will reduce fixed charges for the inhabitants.
The complex itself houses single appartments with an average size between 30-45 square meters to meet the demand for cheap and affordable rooms. The former warehouse will be transformed to facilitate the need of primary and social facilities, for example: a sports bar, a grocery store,
a cinema and a bicycle repair shop. In front of the building, on top of the former railway, mobile platforms will be realised to create interaction between the indoor facilities in the former warehouse and the outdoor events that take place.
In this way companies are able to create their own indoor and outdoor environment. From the larger harbour front on one side, and the smaller harbour front on the other side, multiple axes are aligned to provide a direct connection between these two quays.

The final phase shows how the area has become an urban mix of different typologies, different people and different functions. The former pier is transformed to a central sports hub where people can enjoy themselves in any way they want. The former silos are transformed into individual housing modules that can
be connected together. In this way, the owner can have a living room orientated towards the south and his sleeping room towards the north. On top of the silos a hotel will be build. This strengthens the central function of the area and will attract people from outside the district and city.
In this way, the area will become a more dynamic location. The viewing point of the entire area is focused towards the south where the industry is still florishing. In this way the people emphasize with it’s original and industrial identity.
Behind the silos, a smaller neighbourhood will be created that highlights the contrast between the larger and wider scale of the center area around the city-solo complex, and the smaller and more humanscale focussed area behind it. Between these buildings people can create their own environment due to the more
informal atmosphere. For example, they can throw a neighbourhood party or barbeque together where the shared space plays an important role.

The section cuts show the different scales that are present in the area. On the left side a large and wide context provides a central and dynamic atmosphere. On the other side of the silos a quieter residential area can be found. The scale is more intimate and matches the lower density. The informal spaces give the locals the opportunity to use and explore the area at its own pace. The smaller spaces are all connected, in this way, they provide a larger network of small urban spaces. Several sightlines connect the spaces together.

R1 OF ANTWERP konijnenwei Q4, 2014 - Q1, 2015 Masterplan Residential and government functions Konijnenwei, Antwerp, Belgium The ring road around Antwerp has a large impact on its direct environment. The amount of nuisance regarding noise and emissions is well above the regulations imposed by the EU. As a result, large areas located near the ring road are empty or destined to be large mall areas. In order to meet the high demand for new housing in Antwerp, new ideas are needed to give a purpose to those wastelands along the ring road. By creating a new ring road further outside the city, traffic on the current ring road will be reduced. Thereby creating new possibilities for the empty areas along the current ring road. The first phase in this project will include a new type of junction development. In this way, each junction can create its own identity and is able to attract a variety of individuals towards the area that are interested accordingly. One of the junctions is called ‘konijnenwei’. This junction is located right next to multiple government facilities as well as multiple international companies. On the north-west side it has a direct connection with the ‘Schelde’ river. The masterplan will strengthen its current identity and will combine it with an accessible living environment. In this way, the top-down feeling you have when you walk through a government complex will be compensated which will make it a fine place to be for everybody. The inner squares of the building blocks will each house a different entertainment program. All the squares together will form a flexible route filled with culture and entertainment. In this way, the public space will attract more people from elsewhere in the city making it a more dynamic environment.
KONIJNENWEI
Residential Government facilities Government facilities are often structured in such a way that the atmosphere breathes hierarchy. There is no place for the common people. Mixing both residential and government facilities provides a more accessible atmosphere. Applying this strategy also ensures that the facilities are more incorporated into the city instead of an individual complex.
NHTV PAVILION NHTV university Q4, 2014 - Q1, 2015 Architectural Design, pavilion + bicycle storage 2000 bikes, maximum floor space of 1600m2 NHTV, Breda, the Netherlands For the new NHTV campus a new bicycle garage is needed. It needs to house at least 2000 bikes and has a maximum footprint of 1600m2. At first, a study was performed to acquire the demands of the bicycle garage. For example, the first (very long) row contains 2000 bikes lined up besides each other. The last principle houses 2000 bikes as well, but they are now stacked and placed in rows. The conclusion drawn from these different principles indicates that the most efficient way to store 2000 bikes is to make the garage more square shaped.

The third principle from the right was chosen to become the final design. Its shape fitted best into the surroundings. The current bicycle parking lot is a dynamic place where people drop-off and pick-up their bike. They never spent more than a few minutes in the parking zone unless they meet some friends. The new bicycle garage focusses particularly on this small time frame. The short side of the garage houses a coffee bar so people can grab a cup of coffee and potentially take that straight into their next lecture. If the weather cooperates and people have some spare time, the area can be easily adjusted into a flexible lounge terrace. The cafĂŠ has multiple functions: in addition to providing food and beverages, it also contains a repair centre for students that have issues with their bike.

First, the location of the bicycle garage will be located on the most dynamic part of the inner school terrain, this makes the place highly accessible. Secondly, the main access routes form the main routes inside the parking lot. Additionally, multiple smaller access roads are realised to optimize the use of space for the bicycle parking.

A light but strong foundation is made to create a light, bright and open identity. This highlights the interaction between the outside and the inside. On the short side, a cafĂŠ bar is realised which provides for the need of take-out coffee. Finally, a large roof is placed on top of the entire garage to create more space. The actual roof is much wider than the garage, which will create a covered outdoor space where people can meet and socialize. In the roof, cuts are made to let in broken sunlight. In this way, the building benefits from natural lighting. Multiple solar panels will be positioned on top of the roof to provide lighting inside the garage for when it is dark. Many students are located from the 2nd floor up, who will have a view across the inner square. A LED screen that displays information for students creates interaction between the people downstairs and the people inside the surrounding buildings.
WORKERS DELIGHT ENCI quarry
Currently, a lot of immigrants from Eastern Europe that come to work in The Netherlands are facing poor housing conditions. These people face high rent, poor quality housing and extortion by the landlord. In addition, the media paints a very negative image of

Integrating into a new society is not always easy. The type of accommodation in this area is designed to help immigrants integrate better into society as it attracts immigrants, starters and students. All groups benefit from good public transportation, with direct connections to the city centre of Maastricht. While living in the same area, these three groups might have different needs regarding housing. Therefore, they can choose between two designs: The basic model consists of a simple but large container unit whereas the advanced model has an additional (concrete) room beneath it. The smaller units are mainly located at a lower position in the valley. In this way, more interaction can be achieved between the residents and their direct environment.
Containers provide a cheap and adaptable housing environment.
An additional concrete shell provides a seperated sleeping and living room.
Containers are paired up, the same layout fits inside a smaller footprint while maintaining the same outdoor qualities.
The outdoor area is extended towards the outer line of the facades. The residents can therefore enjoy the panorama view of the valley on one side, as well as a more sheltered area (trees) on the other side.
This design can be built in two ways: one that provides a lifted sleeping room, and one that provides an embedded living room that is directly connected to the nearby boardwalk. In this way, you maintain more privacy as the accommodation is less visible from the edge of the forest.
The residences on the top of the ridge have got their own outdoor space. Their space is accomodated between the containers on top of the concrete shell beneath them. The accommodations in the lower area of the valley have a common outdoor space where people can relax or practice sports. This common space should provide immigrants, starters or students with the opportunity to interact and share experiences. This interaction will help immigrants to improve their Dutch language skills and teach them about the Dutch culture.

Containers are rotated 90 degrees to provide an access road for emergency services.
The new angle towards the valley creates a wider panoramic view. By rotating the containers, you integrate the house better in the natural environment.

Regional Scale ‘Randstad’ Hilversum
Almere is a new town build in the early ‘70’s. It was designed for commuters; people that work in the big cities but want to live outside of the city. Although the idea was good, people were not happy and complaint about: ‘lack of identity’ and ‘sleeping city’.
Utrecht
During the day, 70% of the inhabitants work somewhere else. In the mornings and evenings the city is characterized by its major traffic jams while its nearly dead silent during the day. This project is a strategy to convert the city into a sustainable and attrictive city (growing green city). The strategy is designed on three different levels: regional scale, city scale and district scale.

City Scale ‘Almere’
District Scale ‘Evenaar’
Regional scale: the city needs to attract new and more companies, giving people a chance to work closer to home. This will reduce the heavy traffic during rush hour and increase the activity during the day. City scale: the city needs to implement a green belt. The city was intended to be a ‘garden city’ but due to the leading design of the infrastructure, the garden city was not realized. The green belt will break up the massive city blocks and infrastructure. The green belt will have a variety of purposes: interesting and new sustainable environments to be established by different companies, multi-functional recreational areas, and a multi-purpose sport complex. District scale: people will design and develop their own neighbourhood. By implementing a bottom-up approach, locals will feel more responsible for their own neighbourhood. The city (meaning local government) will only provide a pallet containing design options of how to ‘upgrade’ your neighbourhood.
