introduction
architecture that does not think about its future has no future.
catalogue the work of cepezed
this future-oriented attitude is the basis from which cepezed has worked on assignments involving urban development, industry, interior layout, and especially architecture for the last thirty years. in these, cepezed has sought durable solutions, not only in the restricted sense of reduction of material and energy use, but primarily in the wide significance: projects with an aesthetic, functional, and constructiontechnical future. cepezed stands for open and humane architecture: light and comfortable buildings in which it is pleasant to live and work; innovative but sober designs whose exact simplicity enables complex and unexpected use; spatial and technological solutions that provide the most direct and practical response to the questions that arise from the location, programme, and budget.
cepezed seeks new, integral solutions. whether this involves building components, material applications, climate control, spatial typologies, or innovations in the context of organization and implementation of the construction process itself, the existing method is consistently examined against the light of potential improvement. to cepezed, construction-technical innovation is a self-evident part of the design process but is certainly not an aim in itself. innovation always issues from the specific problems posed by the assignment. simplicity and efficiency, doing more with fewer resources, demands great skills in applying the materials, resources and processes available.
introduction
cepezed takes pleasure in creating. architecture should not only function in a supple and problemfree manner, it should also begenerated in a supple and problem-free way. well-made things, things that combine simplicity and ingenuity, have a self-evident beauty.
cepezed has acquired much constructiontechnical and logistic knowledge from creating and searching for new solutions. this is expertise that can be applied and extended in every new project.
catalogue the work of cepezed
cepezed’s future-oriented attitude is not limited to the product itself. anyone seeking innovation will encounter structures and working methods that obstruct this development. based on the need to improve the product, cepezed takes control of the construction process wherever necessary. as a result, design and implementation have undergone far-reaching integration. in the course of time, a mastery of design and implementation processes has arisen that enables the continuous improvement of the quality of the built product.

A strikingly modern office building on the fringes of the historical inner city of Delft, invested with the Corus Colorcoat Building Award. The premises are an example of characteristic cepezed qualities such as functionality, transparency and an innovative integral design method that devotes attention to cost effectiveness and sustainability. The office has been reduced to the essentials while simultaneously displaying a high-quality, representative allure. The building has a lightweight steel construction with minimum foundation. The side faรงades consist of insulated sandwich plates, while the front and rear faรงades are made entirely of glass sliding panels with aluminium frames. The front faรงade is equipped with a wind, light and soundproof screen that simultaneously generates an optical link with the surrounding historical construction. A service zone containing a lift, staircase, kitchen, toilet, and the technical installations has been positioned along the north-west side faรงade. The rest of the office consists of floor area that can be partitioned according to the wishes of the user. The ground floor and the fourth storey are slightly smaller than the other storeys. Here, a strip has been left open on the south-east side of the building, parallel to the zone with the technical installations. On the ground floor, this opening is utilized for a passageway to the inner garden at the rear of the building, whereas on the fourth floor it provides scope for a roof garden allowing a splendid panorama across the old city. The building is largely heated by the lighting, the office equipment and the staff themselves, while the discharge of heat occurs via the sliding panels. The building has no traditional cooling or heating, and has an energy use of up to 50% below NOVEM norms (Netherlands Organization for Energy and the Environment). The light, self-developed Integrated Deck Extra Space floors were applied in the cepezed office for the very first time. These IDES floors are not only so thin that an extra storey could be implemented within the construction height regulations, they also ensure sound-proofing and fireresistance while accommodating all the pipes and ducts required for the electrical, data and installation systems.

An extremely simple layout, in which all the service elements such as kitchens, toilets, stairs and lifts have been accommodated in one zone, offers a maximum of floor area for flexible partitioning. The enamelled glass screen at the front provides protection against the sun, wind and noise, ensures privacy, enables the office to harmonize with the surrounding buildings, and also functions as an advertising screen. On the ground floor, a passageway to the inner garden at the rear of the building has been created by leaving an open strip in the floor plan; on the fourth floor, a similar open strip provides a sunny roof garden with a view of Delft city centre.

The Integrated Deck Extra Space floor, which was developed in conjunction with Corus and Van Dam Plaatwerken, is extremely lightweight and only 300 mm thick, including ceiling finishing. As a result, the cepezed office in Delft could be fitted with an extra storey within the permitted construction height. The floor consists of hollow steel cassettes that are supported by asymmetrical IPE beams whose lower flange is wider than the top flange. The underside of these cassettes is the ceiling of the storey below. Resting on rubber strips, profile steel plates with a covering layer of anhydrite have been applied at right angles to these cassettes. The hollows in the cassettes function as an air plenum and enable the distribution of data and electricity cables. As a result of its layered structure, the floors fully meet fire prevention and noise insulation

This is a stylish eye-catcher in Berlin-Adlershof, where a complete knowledge and media city has been under development around the former airfield since the nineties. The Innovationszentrum (Innovation Centre) is a collective building for young companies in the IT sector, and forms an important beacon in the area. The greatest challenge was to realize pleasant accommodation for a considerable office programme on an unfavourablyformed parcel for which the maximum prescribed height was six storeys. cepezed produced the surprising solution of only using a part of the parcel and building higher than was actually allowed. However, the first four floors were largely opened up to the outer world and implemented in glass. As a result, a transparent urban inner space was created with exactly the same height as the building opposite. Despite the increased height, the design harmonizes excellently with the rather closed construction in the surroundings. The Centre offers a playful, varied and impressive spatial experience. It is divided longitudinally by a five-metre-wide atrium with a transparent roof that allows an abundance of light into the building. Extending upward to the fourth storey this atrium widens toward the front façade so that the abovementioned urban inner space is generated. ‘Floating islands’ function here as a social meeting place to stimulate synergy between the various IT firms. Open galleries alongside the atrium offer access to the office spaces that have a flexible layout, thus enabling adaptation to the range of corporate sizes and activities. The Innovationszentrum für Informatik is made entirely of prefab lightweight materials. It was the first building in the world in which the innovative, extra-thin Slimdeck floors were applied. A consequent implementation in accordance with industrial methods ensured great savings in time, energy, and costs. Ventilation via the natural airflow of the atrium produces a pleasant climate.

Extending upward to the fourth storey, the atrium widens toward the front façade. It is completely transparent and has a spatial, social and climatic function. The widening acts as a high, open entrance hall that enables the height of the building to harmonize with the architectural situation, although it is actually higher than permitted. Three ‘floating’ islands function as meeting places for the users. The atrium has transparent roofing, so that light can penetrate to the heart of the building. The building enjoys natural ventilation via the atrium, ensuring a pleasant interior climate.

This project is a complex and large-scale combination of existing buildings and new construction for various sections of the Department of Public Works and the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport situated in the Westraven area between the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal and the junction of the A2 and A12 motorways at Utrecht. The programme covers more than 53,000 m2 and consists of office space, conference facilities, a national meeting centre, a communications centre, and the Future Center for the Department of Public Works. More than 2000 people will be employed in Westraven once it has been completed. The existing high-rise construction will be completely renovated and reorganized. An elongated four-storey building will rise around the foot of the building. Vides in the floors and faรงades made entirely of glass will give a strong impulse to the spatial experience of the high-rise block, which is rather limited in the original architecture. Vides, atriums, conservatories, and inner gardens furnish the transparent new construction with an unprecedented spatial quality, and will also be important for the orientation of the staff and visitors. The various functions of high-rise and low-rise construction are combined at the foot of the tower in spectacular, large, open spaces that invite both a rendezvous and casual encounters. Many of the working areas have been designed as flexible workstations, so that it is possible to work at various places in the building. Much attention has been devoted to realizing perfect equilibrium between low energy consumption and an optimum working climate. For this purpose, an ingenious climate concept has been developed which makes use of thermically active floors, among other methods. The conservatories also work as climate buffers and the artificial lighting adjusts itself automatically to the colour and intensity of the incidence of daylight. Furthermore, a revolutionary feature is the innovative secondskin faรงade of open-weave, teflon-coated glass fibre that offers all-round protection against the wind and makes it possible to work with open windows, even on the top floors. As a result, the staff enjoy great freedom in regulating their own interior climate, which is quite a luxury for high-rise construction.

In the Westraven project, much attention has been devoted to realizing a perfect balance between low energy consumption and an optimum varied climate. An aspect of the building concept is the division into different climate zones. By means of thermically active floors, heat and cold storage in the ground, and radiation panels on the ceilings, among other methods, the offices provide full climate control as well as offering the employees many possibilities for individual climate regulation. The climate in the high conservatories on the waterfront of the new construction is largely controlled by means of air warmed for the offices and supplemented by fresh air and additional heating at floor level. The entrance zone is almost completely unheated, but is protected against wind and rain. The roof of the inner garden consists of the same open-weave cambric as the second skin faรงade. As a result, the gardens are sheltered from the wind but are not sealed off from the rain.

On three sides, the renovated Westraven high-rise building has a second-skin faรงade consisting of a combination of layered glass and open-weave teflon-coated fibreglass fabric. The fabric is dark in colour and has a mesh size attuned to the properties of the human eye, so that the view outward is not impeded. The fabric functions as sun protection and makes it possible to open the windows at great heights without experiencing too much disturbance from the wind. The fabric is stretched by means of aluminium tubes on steel balusters, where use is made of the existing balcony construction. The fabric is dirt-resistant, maintenancefree, and has a long lifespan.

Stylish interior with pleasant workstations for the ConsulateGeneral of the Netherlands in Munich. The assignment entailed designing an efficient inner area with an open, hospitable and representative ambience in which the consular requirements of security and confidentiality had to be taken into account. In addition, the interior layout had to have a dignified allure without being too dominant. The consulate is situated on a floor of a rather nondescript collective building in Munich-Neuhausen, near the city centre. By applying light colours and materials, an interior could be created that offers a surprising contrast with the banality of the existing architecture. Prior to the renovation, the corridor area was a dark, indefinable zone. Now, large frosted-glass sliding panels provide a sense of spaciousness. The offices can be linked by opening these panels, enabling spatial variation and the creation of long sightlines. Good insulation of the panels ensures privacy and confidentiality in a closed position. The cabling for communications and electricity has been installed in the gleaming white polyurethane floors and is accessible via floor pots. Carpets ensure good acoustics and a comfortable atmosphere in the working areas. The design was realized in close co-operation with specialists from the Foreign Accommodation Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, of which the branches of interior architecture, art, technical installations and security were involved.

The winning design for an international architectural competition and the worldwide standard for the architectural Porsche Corporate Identity. Hundreds of branches of the prestigious make of car have now emulated this customer centre in the direct vicinity of the Porsche factory in StuttgartZuffenhausen. The sober but exceptionally high-quality allure emphasizes the perfection of the Porsche product. Form, technology, and image unite seamlessly. Besides a showroom, the building also accommodates offices, garage workplaces, and warehouses. Because the display windows of modern car showrooms are actually too banal for a top brand like Porche, the twelve-metre-high faรงade has been largely implemented as a smooth, stainlesssteel skin with the same undercooled perfection as the cars on display. Only the plinth has been realized in glass. The curved faรงade profile integrates the building splendidly in the architectural context and also echoes the well-formed contours of the sports cars inside. With its meticulous finishing, the centre exhibits austere, clear lines without excess decoration, simultaneously radiating a power of attraction that makes the viewer long for what is on display inside. In doing so, the customer centre primarily projects the feelings that are connected to the Porche brand. The building and the product are not rivals, but reinforce one another. Inside, the showroom, offices and garage workplaces are grouped around the central warehouse. Customers who bring their cars to the workplace can park in a sheltered, covered spot. The sports cars are lined up on the floor and on large table constructions that also connect to the various offices that are transparently designed. The lighting is also an exceptional feature. The cars receive natural light during the daytime via large strip windows in the roof, so that they look exactly the same as they do out on the street. In the evenings, the showroom is illuminated by artificial light. The dark floor and backdrop of the showroom then produce a dramatic effect which makes the cars seem even more exclusive and desirable. As a follow-on to this project in Stuttgart, Porche asssigned cepezed to design the Cayenne factory in Leipzig.

The outspoken customer-oriented philosophy of the company was the determining factor in the layout of the Porsche Zentrum. The showroom, offices, and garage workplaces are grouped around the centrally situated warehouses. Customers who bring their cars to the workplace can park them at a covered-over spot. New cars are arranged on the floor of the showroom and on enormous table-like constructions that are connected to the transparently implemented offices. Light strips in the roof and the dark non-reflecting floors show the cars to their best advantage. The curved profile of the faรงade ensures that the design harmonizes with the architectural situation.

client ronic beheer bv woerden
Commercial premises covering more than 13,000 m2 for Ronic, a former producer of display materials and shop interiors in Woerden. The building contains production areas, offices, a reception hall, showroom, company canteen, storage areas, and a dispatch bay. The form and layout were primarily determined by the production process of the user, the elongated dimensions of the parcel, and the restrictions imposed by the zoning plan. These restrictions were dealt with creatively. To avoid large building volumes, only a part of the parcel could be built upon. However, much space was needed to accommodate the company functions. Accordingly, the building was designed as a rectangular volume that more or less covers the entire parcel, but in which a number of large patios, varying in size, are cut out. At the patios, the profile of the steel faรงade continues on in 50% perforated stainless steel. Combined with large vides in the first floor, this ensures that daylight penetrates deep into the building and that pleasant open spaces are created. Much attention was devoted to the finishing. The seams join elegantly and attractive inner gardens embellish the patios. Special care was given to the installation of various systems for pipes and ducts. The building has many company and building-related installations and the conduits for these are all visible. In order to generate a harmonious picture and to avoid intersections, each system was allocated its own route. A very elegant building with a high-quality allure was created by means of industrial techniques and a relatively low budget. The Ronic building was awarded the National Steel Prize 2004. The jury regarded the building as the best example of how more quality can be introduced into industrial construction. When Ronic eventually ceased its activities, the building was immediately purchased by another company in the display and interior decoration sector.

The commercial premises are primarily characterized by an exceptionally functional layout and an intelligent handling of the restrictions imposed by the zoning plan. Large open patios ensure that the parcel is only built-on to a limited extent, while nonetheless creating sufficient floor area. Two production lines are situated longitudinally in the building, separated by a transport artery. These are linked on the north side by a dispatch patio, and on the south side by an assembly workplace and showroom. The first floor accommodates the offices, canteen, and the storage areas that are again connected to the dispatch patio.

Formula-based series of eighteen distribution offices for the erstwhile PTT Post (national post service), in which the challenge primarily lay in the exceptionally low budget and the unprecedented short construction time for the whole series of buildings. The flexible and modular construction system conceived by cepezed was the only submission that satisfied all the demands and enabled all the locations in question, with their miscellaneous requirements and preconditions, to deliver tailor-made work. The success factors for the project are simplicity of design, intelligent use of materials, careful finishing, and a streamlined construction process. Each centre has an austere, compact, and rectangular design. No money was spent on eye-catching knick-knacks. The sorting room is the heart of each office. All the other areas are arranged around this. Thus, the buildings have no corridors, which allowed considerable saving on interior walls. Moreover, this layout is extremely efficient: it keeps the running lines short and operations purposeful. The floors and foundations are made of concrete, and they accommodate as few ducts and pipes as possible. The roof consists of large, light, and easily installed elements with insulation and premounted roof and ceiling finishing. The use of these prefab elements allowed substantial savings in material, weight, construction, time, and labour. The façades are made of sandwich panels mounted on a steel supporting construction. Extra attention was devoted to the most conspicuous façades, which have a glass front that gives them a business-like and high-quality allure. Based on a design by the graphic designer Gerard Hadders, a characteristic dot pattern has been enamelled on the façade, and the user’s brand logo has been applied to the glass by means of retroreflecting foil. Wherever possible, these decorative façades were installed on the short sides of the buildings to help reduce the costs. They vary in number on each building, from one to all four. The modular nature of the construction system strongly simplified, rationalized, and accelerated the construction process. The production work was largely transferred to the factory and most of the onsite work consisted of assembling the elements. Depending on the size, which varies from 300 to 3,000 m2, the entire construction time for each office took sixteen to twenty weeks. The distribution centres were nominated for the National Steel Prize and the Spatial Quality Prize of Zuid-Holland.

Commercial premises for a supplier of transport wheels, given an exceptionally distinctive allure in a straightforward manner. The shape of the cornel parcel on the Leidsche Rijn business estate near Utrecht was used to the maximum. The storage area is accommodated in a simple, two-storey closed box with a skin of black-coated steel profile plating. However, this is concealed behind an austere and horizontally partitioned façade screen installed on the street sides at some distance from the building itself. This screen follows the exact edge of the parcel. The space between the box and the screen is covered over and closed off with glass walls. It serves as a showroom and reception area. The offices are accommodated here against the wall of the box. The building has a steel supporting construction erected on a monolith-finished floor. The screen façade of stainless-steel sandwich panels with frameless glued-in glass strips is mounted on columns with supporting brackets. The first floor consists of concrete hollow-core slabs and is accessible via a gallery above the offices with, on either side, a staircase to the showroom. The gallery has a glass floor and is covered with a roof containing strip windows. Where the box with the workplace and the warehouse ends, the screen façade continues on and is equipped with a sliding entrance gate in the same material as the screen itself. Due to its rounded corner, the building does not have a front or back, but is one long continuous whole with a powerful and imposing allure. The building was nominated for the National Steel Prize 2002. Besides the austere aesthetics, the jury also praised the sophisticated layout and functionality, the transparency, and its setting on the business estate. The press, too, was enthusiastic. With this design, cepezed has proven that little is needed to give a boring building a genuine countenance, was the assessment. The specialist magazine Bouw wrote: ‘The round form gives it infinity and beauty that one seldom sees on business estates.’

Strikingly aesthetic, austerely designed commercial premises for a printing works along the A6 motorway near Lelystad. The building is full of smart solutions and proves once again how easily innovative and high-quality business accommodation can be created at an affordable price by adapting building components and structuring the building process in a controlled manner. All the construction components are standardized and prefabricated, with the exception of the concrete foundations and the ground-level floor. The construction activities at the site itself consisted mainly of assembly tasks. The spatial setup is completely oriented to the production process: paper enters the building on the one side, goes through storage, offset, and processing, is again stored, and leaves the building as printed matter on the other side. Glass interior walls and vides in the first floor allow one to follow the printing processes from the centrally situated prepress area as well as from the offices on the first floor. Because the vides are roofed over with skylights, daylight can penetrate to the heart of the building. The steel supporting construction consists of square box columns which, although they all have the same dimensions, differ in wall thickness according to the load they have to bear. This enabled substantial savings in steel. The use of injected foundation piles instead of driven ones saved a great deal of time. The roof consists of prefab elements equipped with insulation, roof covering, and profiled steel plates as ceiling finishing. An ingenious, flexible finishing of the interior walls allows the roof to sag a little if it has to take a heavy load. The most conspicuous façade, along the motorway, is made of sandwich panels consisting of steel, rock wool insulation and hardened glass on the outside. This was the first time that these materials were used for this purpose in the Netherlands. The panels are fixed in place with (re-)adjustable clamps, enabling the creation of an almost seamless, smooth façade. A strip of clear glass on each storey offers a wide panorama of the surrounding landscape. The side façades consist of perforated sheet piling that continues where the building stops, so that the entrance façade, which is made completely of glass, is furnished with a ‘forecourt’ and a windbreak.

An ultra-modern office building, designed according to American model, with an open, light, and pavilion-like atmosphere, much overhead space on each storey, and extrawide office bays with a minimum amount of columns. The building will be situated at a strategic location at SchipholCentre, with easy international access, opposite the head office of the Schiphol Group. The project will be realized in two stages and will eventually provide more than 38,000m2 of office space and 850 parking places. The first stage covers 19,898m2 and 450 parking places, of which two thirds will be utilized by the Dutch head office of the software giant Microsoft. The main structure comprises a series of longer and shorter office bays linked in a finger-joint configuration. Two subterranean storeys and the plinth of the building accommodate the parking facilities. The office floors allow a flexible layout and are mutually connected by large vides and representative staircases. The flexible and efficient structure provides the owner, Schiphol Real Estate, with an opportunity to anticipate the individual spatial requirements of the various tenants. The combination of a steel skeleton with concrete hollowcore floor slabs is optimally used in an intelligent and economic construction that enables extra-wide office bays with large spans and a minimum amount of columns. An overhead space of no less than 2.90m gives a pleasant feeling of spaciousness. The faรงades are largely implemented in glass without vertical struts, allowing the incidence of much natural light. The vides, which are roofed over with skylights, also contribute to the abundance of daylight in the building.

The office complex gradually decreases in height so that the air traffic tower’s view of the take-off and landing runways is not obstructed. The staggering of larger and smaller office bays entails optimum letting flexibility. The vides of the office bays are roofed over with light strips. The two-storey parking basement, high groundwater levels, a complicated situation directly adjoining the Schiphol Railway Tunnel, and an exceptionally short design and implementation period were extraordinary preconditions of the project.

The new head office of Vietnam’s largest bank, which serves millions of international customers with a whole range of financial services. The office block will have a gross floor area of more than 77,000 m2. In the near future it will rise on a prominent location on the Saigon River in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City and, 150 metres tall, it will be the highest building in the country. The design is a another good example of how exceptional distinction can be assigned to a building by means of simple interventions to an uncomplicated structure. The ground plan is formed by two rectangular compartments, almost fifty metres long, that have been mutually positioned at an angle of 38 degrees at a slight distance from one another, and which turn toward one another as they extend upwards. Accordingly, a building profile with a slight twirl is created. Between the blocks, the floors continue onward to cover the intervening space that becomes narrower as the buildings stretches upwards. This zone is sealed off by a sloping glass façade that encloses the entire height of the building. The first four storeys have been reserved for a spectacular bank hall with a depth of more than twenty metres. The top storey is twice normal height and accommodates a conference centre. The top floor also has roof gardens with a magnificent view out across the city. The engineering of the tower block is in the hands of DHV, one of the largest consultancy and engineering companies in the Netherlands, which also has a branch in Vietnam. The combination cepezed/DHV was selected after responding to an international tender for which design teams from all over the world applied. The work will be implemented in a consortium with the location partner VNCC (Vietnamese National Construction Consultants).

Spectacular concept for a high-rise tower designed as an enormous glass hyperboloid with a transparent covered atrium at its heart, extending upward the entire height of the building. The number of storeys and the floor surface area can be adjusted to the requirements of the client. The tower block can be used for apartments, shops or offices, but also offers many possibilities for multifunctional use. The form, materialization and engineering make the building a stylish and distinctive icon in the skyline of every metropolitan environment. The appearance and structure provide many advantages. The construction principle guarantees an elegant and stable building with column-free floors. Although the twisted supporting and faรงade construction may look complicated, it is easily implemented due to the many repetitions in entirely straight elements that are serially produced. The geometry of the construction ensures optimum material use. Whereas traditional skyscrapers become increasingly narrower as they extend upward, this tower has much floor surface area on the upper floors where the view is the most spectacular The building couples a large floor surface area to a relatively modest faรงade surface area, so that great savings are made on materials and faรงade cooling. The design as a hyperboloid also has aerodynamic advantages: the round shapes cause less wind turbulence. Because the atrium is covered with a transparent roofing, the upper storeys in particular receive light from both outside and inside. The atrium also allows natural ventilation so that fewer installations are required. On the ground floor, the atrium serves as an enormous entrance hall, while offering a great variety of spatial experience on other floors as well.

Laboratories for pharmaceutical and biotechnical companies, situated next to one another on the Bio Science Park in Leiden. One building has a more extended programme than the other and is a little larger, but both are based on the same concept. The labs consist of two elongated segments, which can be freely partitioned, joined by a central section that functions as an atrium and entrance hall. The transparent side walls of the building blocks thus created are flanked by screens of perforated steel plating at a distance of two metres. On the outside, the buildings are thus largely hidden from view, whereas, on the inside, there is a remarkably open and light ambience. But the screens are not only there for privacy, they also have other functions. For example, they enable the buildings to harmonize with the scale of the surrounding construction. They are also important in the savings on installations. They serve as a windbreak, so that the glass sliding panels can be opened to allow natural ventilation into the building without there being too much trouble from the wind. Due to a buffer effect, the screens reduce the loss of warmth from the building in the winter. In the summer, they catch much sunlight, so that it remains pleasantly cool inside, despite high temperatures. The spaces between the screens and the buildings serve as reservoirs for the supply of fresh air, and as emergency exits if fire should fire break out. Because the constructions of the screens are linked to those of the buildings, the pressure of the wind on the faรงades is reduced. The Centre for Human Drug Research (chdr) was awarded both the National and the European Steel Prize. Almost ten years after its completion, this building has been extended with more than sixty per cent of its original floor surface area.

The labs consist of two elongated bays, which can be flexibly partitioned, linked by a central area that functions as an atrium and entrance. The bays have been constructed independently of one another and are only linked in the roof area for load-spreading purposes. The side faรงades of the blocks are flanked by perforated steel-plate screens at a distance of two metres. The construction of these screens is connected to that of the buildings, thus reducing the pressure of wind on the faรงades. The buildings were partly designed with a view to simple extension, which actually took place with the CHDR building ten years after its completion.

Screens at a distance of two metres from the façades hide the building from view from the outside, although a strikingly open and light ambience prevails on the inside. The screens function as a windbreak so that the glass sliding panels can always be opened to allow natural ventilation. In the winter, the screens reduce the buildings’ loss of heat to the outdoor air. In the summer they receive much sun, ensuring that it remains agreeably cool inside. The spaces between the screens and the buildings serve as reservoirs for the supply of fresh air and as an emergency exit, should fire break out.

New building for the Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften (Austrian Academy of Science), in which the Institut für Weltraumforschung (Space Research Institute), the Institut für Biophysik und Röntgenstrukturforschung (Institute for Biophysics and X-Ray Structure Research) and five humanities project groups are gathered together. In connection with changing use and its possible future value as a normal office, the building had to have a flexible layout. The Akademie also wished the building to stimulate interaction between the scientists. The greatest challenge of this international architectural competition lay, however, in accommodating the long series (with a total of 400 metres in length!) of uniform offices and laboratories in a building that should nevertheless be stimulating and spacious. Accordingly, the ground plan was formulated in a way that four elongated strips would form two unequal, compound crosses. Three of the arms of the crosses are linked together at or near their ends, so that they encompass a triangular atrium. The building appears to stretch out inquisitively in all directions. Both the corridors and the labs have a view of the outside world. The atrium is covered with glass, contains the main staircase and the galleries, and functions as the vibrant centre of the building. Meetings are arranged here and the central traffic circulation takes place on all storeys. Coffee rooms containing bar furniture are situated at the extremities of the arms of the crosses. The scientists can meet one another informally here and exchange information. Each coffee room looks out in a different direction. As a consequence of the exceptional construction form, each wing has its own distinct atmosphere, incidence of light and surroundings, despite the many similar areas. This is reinforced by the different layouts of the exterior spaces. There is a parking zone, a garden with a rolling landscape, a flowering garden, and a sunken patio clad in stone. Seldom applied in Austria, the building has been constructed according to the principles of lightweight, industrial and integrated construction, which allowed considerable savings in material, weight, labour, energy, and installations.

client osdorp district amsterdam
Conglomeration of bridges for the suburb of De Aker, which is an area abundant in water in the Osdorp district of Amsterdam. In total, eighteen pedestrian and bicycle bridges across ditches, canals, reed fringes, shallow pools, and swampy ground were needed. The Municipality organized an architectural competition, which was won by cepezed. The great variation in length, width and height induced cepezed to develop an industrial construction system consisting of a limited number of modules. This enabled efficiency in all situations and, despite the great differences in size, a uniform and straightforward picture could be created. Made of the same prefab standard components, the bridges vary in length from 10 to 120 metres. In width, they vary from 2 to 5 metres, while the height ranges from a few dozen centimetres to several metres. The bridge decks are made of five-metre-long wooden beams coupled in a finger-joint configuration at the extremities. The spaces between the beams are filled by non-loadbearing pressed profile gratings also function as a slip-resistant surface. They are illuminated from below in the evenings so that the grating slats light up and offer good orientation possibilities. The duplication of the block pattern gives them an interesting moirĂŠ effect when viewed from the side. The bridges are supported by stainless-steel tubular columns, while the bearing consists of cast concrete units on wooden poles. The maintenance of the bridge system is very easy: the wooden components are made of various sorts of untreated hardwood with FSC certification, while all the steel components have been thermogalvanized.

Large-scale revamp of the station environment in Sint-Niklaas. Along with the restructuring of the Grote markt, which was also implemented by cepezed, the station environment belongs to the most important urban renewal projects in this Flemish municipality. The area had been increasingly degenerating into a rather alienating zone that displayed scarcely any association between the construction and the public domain. cepezed designed and supervised an architectural blueprint, reorganized the public space, renovated the station building, and designed bicycle parking facilities for the station square. The traffic has been rigorously confined and regulated, and the tunnel has been assigned a clear function within the future urban circular road system. The construction sites for a shopping mall and entertainment centre were shifted, thus preventing the generation of new uncontrollable zones. Space was also created for an extra above-ground car park. The demolition of a number of existing buildings created an open link to the city centre. In the renovation, the station was allocated a transparent extension with a wide view of the station square, so that the building now works much more lucidly. The bicycle parking facilities, an extraordinary construction with large spans, has a transparent roof and offers space for around 700 bikes. It was awarded the Belgian Steel construction prize. An elongated pedestrian and recreation zone has been constructed, acting as the backbone of the renewed area structure. This so-called ‘Esplanade’ combines the entertainment complex, station, and shopping mall, and gently guides visitors to the Stationsstraat and the city centre. Since the restructuring, Sint-Niklaas can boast of a modern, 21st-century station square that harmonizes well with the largely 19th-century construction in the environment. The area is now open, accessible, and inviting. It offers high sojourn quality and the functions appear self-evident. The project won the Flemish Urban Renewal Prize and it received an honorary mention from the jury of the Flemish Spatial Planning Prize.

Much-praised reorganization of the largest city square in Europe, which, along with the restructured station area also conceived by cepezed, belongs to the most important renovation projects of Sint-Niklaas. For many years, the experience of the square, both visually and spatially, was determined by cars. The surrounding streets were sections of busy through roads and the square itself was one large untidy parking lot. The Grote Markt was a chaotic, crowded, and isolated spot in the centre of town. A grand and spacious urban square with a detailed peripheral zone was designed as an integral solution to the sum of the problems. The through traffic was rerouted, and a clear and simple circulation plan was drawn up for local traffic. All types of road users have been allocated their own, safe, and orderly place in the system. A half-open car park has been constructed under the fringes of the square. As a result, the central area is completely free of obstacles and is available as a plaza for all kinds of events. Here one can see and be seen, sit on the benches, and enjoy (spontaneous) encounters. The promenade has a high sojourn quality and is extremely inviting, partly due to the scale contrast with the square. The public space has been restructured, repaved, and refurnished. The façades of the premises on the square have been restored to their former glory so that the relationship between the square and the buildings has been improved. The jumble of pavement cafés has been resolved by means of clear demarcation and uniform partitions. The restructuring has literally given the Grote Markt back to the city. The square is once again an enjoyable location in the social life of Sint-Niklaas. It has reacquired its grandeur, atmosphere and sojourn quality. Living, shopping, walking, and going out have all become much more pleasant. The Grote markt is justifiably Sint-Niklaas’s new visiting card.

An open, naturally ventilated parking area has been constructed under the square. A finely detailed peripheral zone was designed to cope with the traffic flow. Cars, buses, bicycles and pedestrians have all been allocated their own safe and orderly place in the system. Moving from the outside toward the centre, the peripheral zone is built up of a pavement, a transfer strip with variable functions, a cycling track, a car lane, a strip for the bus stops, and a bus lane. Crossing places between the square and the pavement connect to the streets around the Grote Markt.

A robust but reserved seating unit for the furniture manufacturer Artifort, which recognized a growing market in the increase of large-scale waiting places such as airport lounges, hotel lobbies, and the entrances of office buildings. The item of furniture therefore had to fit in well with expansive locations and be applicable in flexible combinations due to its introduction worldwide. For this reason, a ‘family’ of components was designed, offering a broad range of possibilities and accommodating divergent requirements. By means of an interlocking system, the piece of furniture is available as a two to five-seater, and can be arranged in a single row or back-to-back. Armrests and table-flaps are optional. The seat width and height can be continuously adjusted per assignment and there is a comprehensive choice of leather or textile upholstery. In this way, a unique solution is possible for every individual situation. The design was not created to raise an issue with the largescale architecture for which the item is intended. It has been styled in such a way that it harmonizes unobtrusively with the space. The aim was to realize a tranquil, self-evident object that aligns itself effortlessly to the surroundings without losing itself in the scale. With a cast aluminium frame and a multiplex seat, the design is both elegant and strong, and harmonizes well with the form language of aeroplanes and modern airports. The Artifort Delta 075 can be found in several of the terminals at Schiphol airport, among other places.

Stylish, integrated and ubiquitously applicable alternative for the traditional transmission units with separate equipment housing which are not usually known for their aesthetics. The masts consist of a triangular steel frame construction covered with semi-transparent, double-walled and bowlshaped synthetic panels that conceal the antennas and the construction without impeding the transmission capacity. In addition, the panels reduce and stabilize the total wind pressure, regardless of the volume of equipment and cables. As a consequence, the masts can not only accommodate more antennas, they can also be installed using lighter mountings so that a more economic structure is possible. The panels require little maintenance, are recyclable, and do away with the necessity for periodic painting of the structure. The equipment casing is not accommodated in a separate construction at the foot of the mast but in a cellar area integrated in the foundation of the mast. Access is gained via a door in the panel cladding, which is made of aluminium for the first few metres. In conjunction, the cellar and panel cladding dispense with the need for a protective fence. The masts are suitable for several types of equipment and thus also for several providers and users. For example, the sirens of the Ministry of the Interior could be accommodated here. The protection of the antenna connections from the influences of the weather, just like the modest variations of temperature in the cellar, guarantee high operational certainty. All the components are prefabricated, greatly limiting the construction time and labour required.

Submission for a competition organized by the Department of Public Works for the replacement of the existing gantries for traffic signs above the motorway. cepezed developed a stylish and integrated alternative that makes maintenance and adjustment easy. In the existing configuration, the signage hangs at a rather uncomfortable angle on a triangular steel frame while the addition of small signs for road numbers, for example, gives a somewhat untidy impression. Moreover, the ever-increasing intensity of traffic obstructs the maintenance of the signs. cepezed thought up a frame with slender standards and a closed hollow aluminium truss. This can accommodate the road numbers, the electronic signs, and the necessary cables. The frame provides a tranquil, aesthetic image and reinforces the relationship between the road and the signage. It can be accessed from both the inside and above, thus facilitating maintenance and ensuring that traffic does not need to be rerouted when work is taking place. The frame is two metres high and one metre wide at the top. The rounding at the bottom gives it an elegant appearance. The 5 mm aluminium plating is equipped with creased partitions that make it completely rigid. Due to the slender standards, the frame seems to float above the road. Austere finishing with few seams ensures that the frames themselves are easily cleaned.

Originally intended to be a temporary exhibition building, this famous construction was acclaimed by the jury of the British Steel Colorcoat Award as an architectonic highlight. The pavilion is situated at a unique location at the mouth of the Nieuwe Waterweg, where more than 30,000 ocean-going ships pass by annually. The initial plan was to create a more modest building, but the ideas advanced by cepezed made the client enthusiastic about a broader programme with a higher budget. Besides exhibitions areas for various exhibitions on the surroundings, the pavilion now also accommodates office space and a cafeteria. The form of the building was strongly influenced by the character and magnificent view of the location. The building has a triangular cross-section. The faรงade on the water side, made entirely of glass, has been installed at an angle of 45 degrees and thus forms a continuation of the slope of the dike. To protect the glass wall against sun and wind, a pressed grating screen has been erected in front of it. The grating actually stretches over the building, thus also offering shelter from the elements on the land side. By opening up a number of gratings as if they were shutters, a viewing strip was created for the visitors inside. In addition, a part of the grid screen was left open for a gallery for passers-by. This gallery issues on to an exterior terrace. Because the building was only planned to remain there for five years, measures to support the building physics were kept to a minimum. For example, cold bridges were largely ignored and the glass of the faรงade was glued directly on to the steel construction. Double-glazing was only used for the viewing strip, so that no condensation ever forms there. A zinc coating ensures that the construction does not rust.

client projectbureau leidsche rijn utrecht
Characteristically designed information centre where the residents are informed by instances such as the Municipality, project developers, and the public transport company about plans and developments within the new Leidsche Rijn suburb of Utrecht. At the start of the design, the surrounding landscape was still intact, although it was certain that this would not last long. After all, the Leidsche Rijn, once completed, will have the same dimensions as a city like Leeuwarden. In order to ensure that the information centre would still be striking even when the advancing construction had completely enclosed it, cepezed sought for a straightforward way of giving the building a permanent spatial allure. The shape and the position of the parcel were taken into serious consideration. Other preconditions involved a limited budget and a programme that entailed making the most of the available space. Moreover, because the building would only be temporarily used as an information centre, it had to be capable of accommodating a different function in the future. As a response to this complex brief, a functionally neutral building was created as an equilateral triangle that, in its cross-section, begins low on the east side and rises up eleven metres to the opposite point. The middle section of the building is completely open and, due to its transparent entrance faรงade, which is made of glass and looks southwest, forms a continuous unit with the adjoining exterior court that is also used for exhibitions and manifestations. The north-west faรงade is completely sealed and marks the boundary of the partly indoor, partly outdoor exhibition plaza thus created. After the completion of the Leidsche Rijn, the building will be allocated a different function. Possible tenants who have already shown interest are a restaurant and a church community. At the highest point, there is abundant space that already enables an inexpensive and simple extension of the floor area in the form of an intermediate floor.

An exhibition showcase twenty metres long and thirteen metres deep, offering maximum transparency for a 17thcentury shipwreck of the pinas type. Just like Building 51, converted by cepezed into an entertainment centre, this exhibition pavilion is also situated on the former naval shipyard of Willemsoord in Den Helder, which has now been laid out as a nautical amusement park. The pavilion is situated splendidly between two historical buildings dating from 1825. It is made completely of glass and is artificially illuminated in the evenings so that the ship is visible from all angles day and night. The pavilion is accessible so that the public can admire the vessel from nearby. The pinas lies in a concrete foundation container filled with gravel on which glass bearing walls without standards have been placed. These walls are propped up by glass supporting ribs which are fixed to the edge of the foundation by means of corner brackets. The vertical seams between the glass faรงades and the supporting ribs have been sealed. At the bottom and the top, the glass terminates in steel U-profiles that also function as ring beams and thus have a constructive purpose. The roof, consisting of a light metal space frame filled with synthetic aircushions, also rests on the top edge. It can be installed and removed as one unit, so that in the future other objects can also be exhibited in the showcase. The axes of the pivot doors, which are situated diagonally opposite one another, also function as rainwater drainage systems. The doors have adjustable ventilation grids which, in conjunction with the suction unit on the roof and several heating elements, level out the most extreme temperatures and thus maintain a semi-outdoor climate.

Complete restructuring, restoration, and extension of what was once the largest livestock market hall in Europe. In the meantime, parts of the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch have been put on the list of protected buildings, and the halls now orient themselves fully to the market for trade fairs, congresses, and events. Initially, the assignment only covered the renovation of several halls, but it was extended with the request to formulate a developmental vision for the whole complex and for the new construction that would elevate the complex from a regional trade fair centre to a national A-location. 8,500 m2 of the existing hall area were demolished to make way for new construction that eventually covered an area of more than 15,000 m2 that was built in a record time of only six months with the use of prefab elements. An important challenge lay in harmonizing the large scale of the new construction with that of the original halls. For this reason, the new halls are sober and austere, and have been realized with few special details. They form a neutral but chic backdrop for the richly detailed original halls which also form a gradual scale transition to the surrounding residential area. The simple design of the new construction guarantees maximum functionality, leaving the decor entirely to the users. All control engineering has been embedded out of sight as much as possible. Because each event has its own technological requirements, there are floor pots every six metres with cabling via underfloor installation tunnels. Of the original halls around 8,000 m2 have been comprehensively renovated, mainly involving the adaptation of façades, corridors and floors. The routing and connection between the halls were substantially improved. The transition between the existing construction and the new construction was implemented in glass, so that the façades of the original halls have remained fully visible.

A covered-over shopping mall, catering facilities, offices, and more than one hundred apartments in De Vijf Werelddelen former bonded warehouse at the Kop van Zuid in Rotterdam. This industrial and economic monument dates from 1879, and played an important role in Rotterdam’s evolution into a world port. In the redevelopment, the existing cast and welding iron structure was left completely intact, and the new edifice harmonizes excellently with the refined details of the original design. The original wooden tent roof was removed and replaced by new construction with a set-back in relation to the eaves, which thus continue to determine the perceived height of the building. A longitudinal incision was made in the central section and equipped with transparent roofing. As a result, a light and spatial atrium was created, which offers a marvellous sight of the now freestanding iron construction. The shops lie around the atrium at ground level. The bars and restaurants are mainly situated on the south warehouse harbour and are connected to a former loading platform that now functions as an awning for pavement cafÊs, and as a roof garden for the apartments on the first floor. The offices are situated on the first floor on the north side, while three-storey maisonettes with a roof garden nestle above these. Large loft apartments covering 150 to 200 m2 and smaller two-storey maisonettes with a large balcony or roof garden are situated on the south side. The apartments and offices are accessed via glass staircases and lift shafts on the north side of the building, while internal galleries along the atrium also give access to the apartments. The lofts and maisonettes contain only a completely prefabricated sanitary unit with a toilet, bathroom and connections for a kitchen unit, and residents are free to partition the rest as they please.

Remarkable and controversial combination of existing and new construction on the Rietveld, a small canal in Delft. Both individual and institutionalized opponents objected vehemently to the construction, but the Building Inspectorate and the monument preservation committees were full of praise. The project combines the complete dismantling and reconstruction of a monumental 16th-century building with modern new construction on an adjoining seven-metre-wide parcel where there was a gap in the historical street front. The existing and new construction jointly generate a stimulating field of tension and form the living and working area of a married couple with their own graphic design firm. The monument and new construction are linked by means of a central open staircase and a connecting zone made entirely of hard glass, which also functions as the entrance. The configuration is organized horizontally: the business functions are located at ground level, the residential functions are on the first and second floor. A quest was undertaken to realize as large a contrast as possible in the use of materials. After dismantling, the monument was rebuilt with its own authentic materials, while the new construction was largely implemented in steel and glass. As a result of the careful attunement of scale, dimension, rhythm and finishing, the new construction fits in well with the tranquil and pleasant ambience of the historical inner city. For example, the steel screen partitions of the new roof garden connect elegantly to the broad wooden cornice of the old building. The line of the wooden lintel half-way up the old building is continued on in the steel box beam of the new premises. The brick striped pattern of the old building extends onward in the horizontal slats in front of the glass faรงade of the new construction, which serve as a privacy screen, sunblinds, and burglar prevention.

Recreation complex with six cinema screens, a family entertainment centre, a children’s play village, and catering establishments on the former naval yard of Willemsoord in Den Helder which has now been converted into a nautical amusement park. The project combines austere neutral new construction with the restoration and re-use of the existing construction which has now been placed on the list of national and historic buildings. The recreation complex is accommodated in Building 51, the former shipbuilding workplace that dates from the 1930s. Due to its purely functional origins, the building is primarily typified by an unrefined industrial allure, based on many characteristic elements such as sawtooth roofs, a heavy crane track, folding doors large enough for ships, and a whole range of mysterious valves and cutoffs. The design for the re-use retained the authentic atmosphere as much as possible. Wherever possible, typical features were preserved and left visible. In addition, only the most essential interventions were realized and all additions were designed as unaffectedly as possible. The façades of steel frames with brick were left fully intact. The original steel construction was also entirely re-used. Moreover, grateful use was made of the overdimensioning necessary for the old crane track, so that no additional construction was necessary to accommodate the cinema screens on various levels. Additional construction requirements were also made superfluous by using lightweight, double and flexible partitions connected to the existing construction in a vibration-eliminating manner, instead of the usual massive insulation materials. Nevertheless, the original steel beams were reinforced by connecting them to the concrete floor slabs of the first storey so that they can jointly bear a greater load. Two cinemas were accommodated in the adjoining new construction which was elevated above ground level to allow space underneath for an ongoing passageway that connects the building with the surrounding area and mutually links the various sections of the building. The cobbled paving outside extends into the complex, thus giving the whole an extra industrial accent that corresponds to its origins. The restoration and restructuring of Building 51 were implemented in durable materials, enabling savings on material, time, energy and costs. In doing so, valuable building history was well preserved.

Four cinema screens have been installed in the high section of the old shipyard workplace. Use was made of the existing overdimensioned steel construction that accommodated the former crane track. The new construction, with its neutral design, houses two larger auditoriums and has been elevated above ground level to allow space underneath for a foyer and an ongoing passageway that connects the building to the surrounding grounds, and various parts of the building to one another. The cobblestone paving outside is continued on into the complex, giving the whole an industrial accent that harmonizes with its origins. In the design, much attention was devoted to compact relationships, the grouping of the projection rooms and screen entrances, and the separation of incoming and outgoing cinema visitors.

client municipality of tilburg / audax textiel museum tilburg
Radical extension and renovation of the Textile Museum in Tilburg, by means of which this organization sets another step in its development from a museum in operation toward a creative enterprise and knowledge centre in the field of textile design. In addition, the museum, the museum grounds, and the surrounding neighbourhood of Oud-Noord ought to display more interaction in both spatial and social terms. The museum is housed in the former Mommers & Co woollen fabric factory, and has recently merged with the Tilburg Regional Archives. The complex will be extended with a new entrance building and an archives storage department with corresponding reading rooms. As a component of the revised routing, transparent glass corridors will connect the various museum sections. A part of the existing building will be renovated and the grounds between the museum and the surrounding neighbourhood will be restructured. An abstract glass building has been designed as a new entrance. The transparency of the volume radiates accessibility and enhances the recognizability of the museum and its entrance. The building accommodates a cafĂŠ-restaurant and areas for meetings, educational programmes, and hire. The top floor offers a wide panorama of the Mommers complex. The archives storage section consists of an entirely closed concrete volume that will be placed like a treasure chest on a steel frame above an existing exhibition building. The archives will be allocated an exterior cladding of tefloncoated glass fibre. The buildings that are to be renovated are the offices, the museum shop, the foyer, and the exhibition areas. Both the extension and the renovation make use of various textile applications that underline the identity of the user. The modern implementation of the new construction stands in stark contrast to the historical qualities of the original complex, so that both segments gain in allure and really come into their own. Close collaboration with the Netherlands Department for Conservation ensures a harmonious bond between old and new.

Not-realized design for the extension, restoration and renovation of the Rijnlands Lyceum in Wassenaar, in which the school has been furnished with new Êlan by means of relatively simple interventions. The existing situation was characterized by a series of building segments displaying little coherence. They dated from the 1930s, 1950s and 1970s and each had its own particular features. The positive qualities were the transparency of the classrooms and the position in a green environment. These were used optimally in the new design. A compact, transparent and orderly two-storey pavilion has been added to the existing configuration. Its position brings coherence to the complex once again. The collective areas such as the sports hall, auditorium, and the study cluster are situated at the centre of the pavilion, displaying an increasing degree of openness. Around these lie the teaching areas, which can be partitioned as required due to the absence of supporting walls. The traffic routes of both storeys are linked to one another by means of vides. This stimulates contact between the various educational clusters and contributes to the orderliness and controllability of social interaction. The roof is an extension of the green environment and can be used as a sports field. The surrounding grounds accommodate attractively designed functions that are attuned to the use of the directly adjoining buildings. For example, there is space for a hardened parking lot immediately next to the entrance, a meeting zone between the existing and the new construction, a landscaped garden with connecting silent areas along the façades of the existing construction, and a study landscape as a continuation of the study centre. The new pavilion, with its modern design, contrasts agreeably with the existing construction. Existing and new construction allow one another scope and thus both show themselves to advantage. The finishing of the new construction displays the same care as applied by J.P. Kloos, the architect of the original design dating from 1937. Prefabrication and a rational construction system make it possible to realize the new construction in two stages. As a result, both the construction time and nuisance remain restricted to a minimum. A partly overhanging roof offers the opportunity to extend the building to 128 per cent of the design at a later date.

Not-realized maritime education building, designed as a striking eye-catcher, intended for a marvellous location at the head of the Lloyd Pier in Rotterdam, directly on the River Maas near the Euromast. The building fits well into the scale of the surrounding harbour architecture and, just like the adjoining former warehouse Sint Jacobsveem, it consists of a simple main volume. However, that is the full extent of the similarity. The building has been designed as an enormous transparent ship with a second skin of horizontal slats. The plinth accommodates the large, two-storey communal areas such as the central hall, the infotheque, the sports centre, and the auditorium. The heart of the building houses the technological areas and simulators, while the place with the most splendid view is reserved for the restaurant with a pavement cafÊ on the quayside. Escalators lead to the upper floors with the other functions. The classrooms and practical rooms are situated on the first floor. The top floor houses the administration and management functions. The floors are mutually connected by stairs and inclines, and can be partitioned as required so that each department can create its own distinct identity. Due to the noise they produce, the workplaces are accommodated in the basement adjoining the quayside. A comfortable plaza with benches and windbreaks rests on the roof of the basement. The concept includes a climate façade with natural ventilation, enabling maximum savings on energy.

After completion, the second largest squash centre in the Netherlands, characterized by a fine balance of aesthetics and pragmatics. This austere, open and lucid sports building covering 2,750 m2 was realized in a well-considered choice of materials and careful finishing with a relatively small budget. The complex is situated in the dunes area near the former Houtrusthallen in The Hague. Besides eighteen squash courts, it also contains an aerobics area, a Finnish sauna, Turkish steam bath, a restroom, solariums, dressing rooms, sanitary rooms, a canteen, and a technical installations space. The building has a simple structure consisting of two interconnected rectangular buildings. Because daylight is unwelcome on the squash court, and the parcel is rather limited in size, the courts have been accommodated in a closed box twelve metres long with faรงades of black-coated profiled steel plate. The corridors are also contained in this volume. They run along the font of the courts and lead to all the other functions, which are accommodated in another two-storey box that is only half as high. This second segment is situated at the front of the complex and has glass facades. The entrance, canteen and aerobics area are situated on the ground floor, while the first floor contains the dressing rooms, the sanitary rooms, and the relaxation areas. Where a view from the outside is not wanted, as in the dressing rooms for example, the glass faรงade has been equipped with a translucent, screen-printed privacy screen that gradually increases in opacity. When the complex is illuminated in the evenings, the glass faรงades automatically produce more street lighting. In addition, the building radiates an agreeable liveliness that wards off the derelict character that the location once had. The transparency of the canteen creates a visual bond with the surroundings, thus allowing social control.

The first building ever to be specifically designed as an indoor go-kart track. Situated on an attractive location along the A13 motorway near Delft, it contains four stacked tracks that collectively form the longest and most spectacular indoor gokart circuit in Europe. The structure and elaboration of the building shine in their simplicity. The tracks are accommodated in a completely transparent box sixty metres long, fifty metres deep, and twelve metres high, within which a separate volume for catering and offices has been placed. The catering part is situated on all four levels and contains bars and an à la kart restaurant, among other things. Large glass sliding fronts offer a splendid view of the racetracks. The catering and offices are accessible via a glass lift and a staircase, and are heated by a combination of convection and underfloor heating. The warmed air of this volume is blown across the go-kart tracks which are further unheated and not insulated. The removal of exhaust fumes takes place by means of mechanical ventilation and via the façades which are partly self-ventilating. The technical installation ducts have been left visible, just like the slender, minimum skeleton construction with floors of concrete hollow-core slabs. The glass façades allow the full incidence of natural light during the day and also connect the racetrack to the dynamics of the adjoining motorway. When the artificial lights are on in the evenings, the speeding karts are fully visible from the motorway, and the premises function as one huge advert for the activities within. Whereas indoor karting used to be accommodated in rundown factory halls on desolate industrial estates, the sport has finally found fully-fledged accommodation in a modern building at a fitting location. Race Planet was awarded the National Steel Prize 2000, and is run by former Formula 1 driver Michael Bleekemolen.

client municipality of lingewaard bemmel
Club building for a hockey club and a clubhouse with an elevated grandstand for a football club, realized under pressure of time and in intensive consultation with the users. The building for the hockey club covers 390 m2 and is situated between two hockey pitches, facing the main pitch. The football club building covers more than 930 m2 and stands along the touchline of the main pitch. Both buildings have been designed and materialized in the same elegant manner, and contain dressing rooms, maintenance rooms, meeting rooms, and an informal meeting area. A modular construction system was applied, related to the system used to create the PTT Post distribution centres. The buildings have an elongated rectangular shape. The faรงades consist of alternating open and closed sections with consistently equal dimensions. The closed surfaces have been finished with horizontal wooden panels, while the transparent surfaces consist of a storey-high glass faรงade fronted by wooden slats that function as sunblinds and ball guards. The wood is untreated, so that it greys with time. It also ensures that the strict ordering of recurring elements nevertheless has a friendly allure. The buildings have been placed on elevated terraces that form a continuation of the informal meeting areas through the glass fronts. In addition, they offer a good view out across the pitches. The hockey club building has a broader terrace along the main pitch, whereas the terrace of the football club is covered over by the grandstand with its 392 seats, which towers above the club building. The grandstand has a wide overhang to prevent nuisance from the sun, and is closed at the sides and back to resist the wind. To ensure maximum use, the club buildings and the grandstand have been finished in materials requiring little maintenance. Solid and robust prefab materials were used for this purpose. Extensions can be easily realized if required.

A modular construction system was used for the club buildings themselves, akin to the system by means of which the PTT distribution centres were created. The wooden faรงade coating ensures that the rather severe partitioning has a friendly allure. The buildings have been installed on elevated terraces which, through the glass sliding panels, form a continuation of the meeting areas within and offer a good view out across the sports fields.

Multifunctional swimming pool in Purmerend, with six different pools and a great lucidity of concept, elaboration, and materialization. No budget was expended on overexuberant layout, it was primarily invested in functionality and high-quality building materials. The building lies on an island in the local Leeghwater Park, and for that reason it was designed as a light and transparent pavilion, giving rise to the idea of an open spot in the woods with a lake. The complex accommodates an eight-lane competition pool, an instruction pool, a pool specifically for the elderly and the handicapped, and a recreation pool designed as a water playground with a super wildwater creek, a waterfall shower, and a division into seventeen adventure islands. Outside, there is another pool connected to the recreation pool inside, as well as a playpond for the very youngest. The pools are grouped around a four-storey core containing facilities for water purification and air-conditioning, dressing rooms, and a catering sales point. An enormous glass front in the entrance hall gives visitors a wonderful view of the underwater world of the competition pool whose plateau is three and a half metres above ground level. The floors, plateaux, basements, and pools have been constructed using in situ cast concrete upon which a steel main support construction has been assembled. For reasons of hygiene and optical clarity, the supporting columns continue on until below the floor surface. The mountings have been installed out of sight, under the tiling. The roof is supported by galvanized steel beams and it is equipped with skylights. The faรงades are not load-bearing and consist of alternating open and closed surfaces. The open surfaces are made of glass whereas the closed ones are finished with wood on the outside. Large parts of the interior walls are transparent, so that long sightlines have been created everywhere.

Large-scale collective building for shops and businesses in the Rotterdam harbour district. The building generally has two storeys and contains a furniture store, a mega-building market cum garden centre, a deck for car parking, and lettable areas initially intended for diverse companies that required temporary accommodation as a result of urban renewal elsewhere. Stylish, uniform materialization in aluminium gives the constellation of various components a unified allure. Because the office blocks in the vicinity look out directly on this building, the roof has been designed as if it were a fifth faรงade. In one sweeping gesture, it covers the entire complex in a powerful, elegant arch that conforms to the architectural situation and dimensions. An overhang at the end and a strikingly high, upward-folded wing on the long side clearly mark the entrances. The parking deck and the hothouses of the garden centre lie outside the building proper. The building faรงade has been extended as a perforated screen around these components, so that the unity of form is continued. The hothouses and parking deck thus remain integral parts of the complex.

500 m2 of commercial space and 45 subsidized owneroccupied houses each covering around 100 m2 in the bonded warehouse area at the Kop van Zuid in Rotterdam. The design was also a part of an urban planning assignment. The apartment block had to form an attractive urban unit with De Evenaar residential cum workplace building and the multifunctional, renovated De Vijf Werelddelen bonded warehouse, both of which were realized by cepezed as well. Furthermore, there was only a limited volume available for a large number of apartments. A complex, fan-toothed, semi-circular block was designed as the solution to both the shortage of space and the architectural assignment. The exterior side of the curve functions as the wall of the public Entrepotplein (plaza), while the other side borders on a more sheltered inner area with greenery and parking space for the neighbours. The fan form ensures that all the apartments have a view of the adjoining Binnenhaven (‘inner harbour’) from their living rooms and balconies. The galleries lie on the inner side and converge in a staircase made entirely of glass which is also equipped with a panorama lift, specially developed by cepezed at an affordable price for housing projects. Inspired by, and as an ode to, the wooden harbour quaysides and the frequently beautifully detailed ship decks that have now vanished, the façades of the Halfrond have been implemented in almost abstractly detailed sections of Western Red Cedar that fit seamlessly together. This also functions as soundproofing for the inner court.

The villa was awarded the BelgianLuxembourg Steel Prize, and the jury praised above all the straightforward layout, the careful finishing, and the refined application of steel for an extremely light and transparent construction. In general, they were largely impressed by cepezed’s ‘no-nonsense construction style that rejects all false romanticism’. The villa is situated at an enchanting location in Rameldange in Luxembourg. The site itself has a considerable variation in height and offers a magnificent view out across the valley. Partly-sunken concrete foundations that include a cellar form the basis. The construction itself consists of a skeleton of thermogalvanized, hot-rolled steel profiles. To engage the house in the surrounding nature as much as possible, most of the façades are made of glass. For the street front, however, sandwich panels have been used to provide more seclusion. The roof and first floor were implemented by using profiled sheet piling. The entrance is accessed via an exterior staircase and is located on the first floor where the bedrooms and bathroom lie on a gallery running along the side of the building. The living room, with a garden terrace offering a panoramic view, lies on the south side and occupies both storeys. The west side, which also receives a great deal of sun, is equipped with an aluminium-slat screen that ensures privacy and security. Although this modern villa contrasts starkly with the traditional construction in the vicinity, its minimalism allows it to blend naturally with its environment. It almost seems to issue from the landscape itself.

Much-discussed and prize-winning semi-detached houses on the south edge of Delft, primarily oriented to maximum spaciousness. To create as much volume as possible, the building is completely rectangular and as high as is allowed. Inside, all the spaces have been organized around a diagonally situated service block containing the facilities and wet cells on all three floors. As a consequence, sightlines are long and the rooms appear larger than they actually are. Various vides inserted in the upper floors, and the faรงades and interior partitions, which are largely implemented in glass, contribute to an unprecedented feeling of spaciousness, certainly in combination with the view that stretches out tens of kilometres. The technology and materialization are also distinctive. Partly inspired by other branches in which lightweight construction is of great importance, various components were used in housing construction here for the first time. The insulated, stainless-steel sandwich panels that were used for the faรงades were derived from the panels of refrigerator vans and further developed by cepezed. The aluminium Sunshield slats on the glass faรงades were also used in housing construction here for the first time. The windows borrowed their technology from yacht construction. The lightweight floors were invented by cepezed and consist of profiled sheet piling filled with stabilizing sand with a covering layer of anhydrite. The system is a precursor of the IDES floor installed in the cepezed office (see the relevant section). Furthermore, a characteristic feature is the four-metre-wide sliding fronts that connect to one another without an intermediate post on the south corners of the house. Electrical and data installations have been integrated in the columns and column bases of the supporting construction.

the office and the architectonic integration of constructions and installations, which were all emulated by others. Regardless of how important technology may be within the architecture of cepezed, the office cannot be accused of technical determinism. The designers are primarily concerned with developing total solutions to complex problems. The specific design assignment and the given circumstances always remain the point of departure. The functionality, regulations, brief, budget, location, and technological opportunities all play a role. The solutions are therefore integral solutions. With an antipathy to exuberant form language, much attention is devoted to pleasant and possibly changing use, where technology is merely an important aid. In the urge to continue to surprise itself and its clients, cepezed makes high demands upon its own originality. Although the architects have a great deal of routine and the projects display great stylistic recognizability, their design never occurs in a routine-based manner. All aspects of the design and construction processes are consistently allocated optimum care and attention. In this process, the conceptual framework is just as important as the meticulous elaboration of detail. The method used is applicable in the most divergent assignments, thus making cepezed a generalist design office ‘par excellence’. From chair to transmission mast, from transformer kiosk to skyscraper: cepezed designs it all. At present, cepezed consists of around thirty members of staff. The complete path from draft design to construction preparation and management is implemented and supervised by a group of highlyeducated architects that varies in size and make-up depending on the phase of design and realization. Within cepezed, the traditional dividing line between architect and draughtsman does not exist. The architects themselves create the drawings and deal with the project they are involved in, right down to the finest details. This process is also characterized by early and frequent co-operation with specialists in other fields, such as those concerning materials, technical fittings, stability, and production. cepezed is a horizontal, open, flexible, and highly automated organization with short lines of communication. As a result, the project teams can operate as purposefully and efficiently as possible. At the beginning of 2005, the young, talented architect Ronald Schleurholts became a partner and co-director of the firm. With this step, Cohen and Pesman have brought new blood into the management of the office. information
cepezed set its first steps in 1973. Future architects Jan Pesman and Rob Zee were in their third year of study at Delft University of Technology and wanted nothing more than to begin with real-life practice. Teacher Hein Hoogerwerf linked them to an assignment and to Michiel Cohen, who had been working as an independent architect for several years, had developed system kitchens in Australia, and displayed a great fondness for industrial construction. The first few years formed a period of learning, exploration, and reflection. Pesman also had a strong interest in industrial manufacturing techniques and, in a lengthy series of small-scale projects such as reconstructions and extensions of houses and shops, experiments were performed with modular standardized systems. These turned out to be too advanced, however, for efficient application within traditional building practice. Nevertheless, the attempts were of major importance to the development of a completely distinct and personal design method, as well as a sharpened vision of the building process. In 1982 – Zee had left the office by that time – cepezed began to proclaim its views and, in the Items magazine of which he was one of the founders, Pesman introduced a new discipline: the Industrial Architect. This expert is engaged at the interface of architecture and industrial design, and, besides possessing skills in architectural design, he also has comprehensive knowledge of industrial manufacturing techniques. As a consequence, his focus is always oriented toward both the design process and the construction process. In addition to his regular design tasks, the Industrial Architect develops building components for the industries that supply to the construction world. In that same year, Cohen and Pesman attracted attention with their design for a lightweight, affordable and rapidconstruction modular house for the social sector. It was the first project in which cepezed’s principles of building and building methods were unified. In subsequent decades, the office continued to grow in the assortment and scale of projects undertaken. Partly due to its plan-based approach to the building process and the serious attention devoted to the way in which things are realized, cepezed developed into an exceptionally distinctive and influential architectural office. The ideas developed in the early years were now put to full use in real-life practice, and this even led to situations in which the office took complete control over the implementation of some projects. cepezed was also the source of technological innovations such as the development of sandwich panels, the climatic and energy-related application of atriums,

Michiel Cohen (Haarlem, 1946) studied architecture at Delft University of Technology, but abandoned his study prematurely to work as an independent architect. In the early seventies, he worked in Australia on the design, development and marketing of system kitchens. In 1973 he established the cepezed architectural office. Between 1976 and 1978, Cohen was the director of the Swedish Timber public information service in the Netherlands. He often speaks at international conferences on the topic of lightweight, intelligent and sustainable construction, about which he also publishes on a regular basis. Ronald Schleurholts (Roden, 1972) studied architecture at Delft University of Technology, where his specialisms included construction methods and interior layout. During his study, he worked for the architectural offices of Claus en Kaan and Koen van Velsen. Since 1999 he has been working for cepezed, where he became a partner and co-director in 2005. He achieved great success with a personal submission to the Pilkington Glasshouse Competition in 2003. His design ended up as the winner for the region of Western Europe, was chosen as the public’s favourite during the Glasstec trade fair in Düsseldorf, and was published in many leading architectural journals.

in the past few decades, cepezed has gained renown with transparent, sustainable and technologically progressive architecture that is remarkably usable and humane. unaffected design, sober but stylish materialization, and careful finishing are just as characteristic of cepezed’s oeuvre as the integration of spatial and construction-technical aspects. the design and building processes at cepezed are also integrated: the use of prefab components and the application of industrial building methods guarantee an optimum alignment of design and realization, in which time, quality, and costs are meticulously planned and controlled. catalogue offers an overview of more than thirty years’ innovative design expertise.
