Graduation project Living in the Sesia Valley
Living in the Sesia Valley In the Sesia Valley in the Italians Alps lies the medieval town Varallo. A decrease of population numbers is seen here. The aim of this graduation studio is to design a new housing-concept that will provide in the needs of modern living in rural areas. My vision is to make use of the (hidden) existing local qualities and make them stronger. A very important local quality is the typical social cohesion that can be found in small towns. To be able to contribute to this local social connection amongst people, I have done research to the architecture of collective housing. This became the main theme of my designproposal, besides offering care facilities and space for local initiatives. An abandoned hospital in the centre of Varallo is choosen as projectsite. This building hides many undiscovered qualities and is located on a unique place in town.
‘To design spaces for social interaction’
Varallo has always been famous for its care facilities such as the former hospital and a wellness-centre. To bring back these former characteristics into Varallo again, I created spaces for a policlinic and a thermal bath, to take care of the inhabitants of Varallo.

The collective spaces are found in the heart of the building. Here people can cook, eat, work and recreate together. These spaces have transparent or 1:200 translucent doors and windows so it can be seen when people are making use of these spaces.

The concrete structure of the 6-floor extension is functional. When taking down the non-loadbearing walls and facades the open floors can be used for new different activities. To make it a safe place but still very transparant a mesh fence is added and a glass elevator and roof are made. In time, when the qualities of living in the valley are rediscovered, the demand for appartments will rise. The open floors can be used for living by this flexible modular design. The isolated floor- , ceiling- and facadepanels can be mounted into the pre-drilled holes in the grid. The facades are made of wood to contrast the raw concrete structure. The cladding is detailed in such a way that the panels appear to be seamlessly attached to each other.

Creative City Lab Innovatielab 020 Stadslandbouw
From March untill May I was part of the Creative City Lab team. The goal was to create a feasible businesscase for an urban farming project in Amsterdam North. My responsibilities during the lab were: research on the availabe square meters and buildings on the projectsite, exploring the opportunities for a greenhouse combined with a restaurant and making the drawings and impressions to communicate the plan. In our final plan we combined different functions that are related to the process of food-production, distribution and consumption. This plan is translated into a cost estimate and a spatial plan and we also found three different coalitions of partners who want to start this plan. Our results were presented to the municipality and they will decide on the next step to take. Hopefully we can witness the start of this project soon!

Internship
Internship Dok Architecten
Amsterdam
Internship at Dok Architecten During my internship at Dok Architecten, I have worked on a tender regarding the monumental superstructure ‘Kleiburg’, located in Amsterdam. The aim was to re-use the building and make it meet modern living standards while taking financial feasibility into account. The strategy was to create many different types of dwellings, suited for different types of households.
model for a school in Bonheiden
I was responisble for the design-studies and presentational drawings. It was a very dynamic process: the design was continiously tested and reshaped in order to meet costs, construction and fire regulations. While working at Dok Architecten I have also assisted other projectteams with making 3D models and computer visualisations. The different computerprograms I learned to work with were Vectorworks, SketchUp and Artlantis. Working at Dok Architecten was of great value to me because it gave me a better understanding of the profession and made me even more enthusiastic about it!

The structure of Kleiburg houses five hundred appartments with little or no diversity. To create more dynamics in the monotone facade different types of appartments are mixed in the design. By extending the rooms to the edge of the balcony a direct relation with the surroundings is established.

By adding elevators and stairs, the long and anonymous galleries were shortened. This way accessing the appartments is made more personal and the former galleries can now be used as loggias, balconies or interior space. In the first two floors of the building, former storage-boxes, maisonettes and studios are created.

Valkenburg extension design assignment impression
This small design is made for a couple that moved to Limburg and wanted to re-do the current extension containing the pumps for the swimmingpool and the outdoor shower. A demand for the new extension is to be more integrated to the design of their house.

This design is one of densification. The location is characterized by its open space and traffic. Everybody around this place seems to be on the go. In the new design dwellings, retail and a grand cafe are designed to fill the open parking space in a way that respects the surrounding volumes. The lowered plaza in front of the cafĂŠ becomes a place to stay.

Looking for the Lijnbaan
Looking for the Lijnbaan Bachelor Thesis Urbanism
The monumental Lijnbaan and its shops are not easily found when arriving from Rotterdam Central Station. By proposing new pavements, trees and redirecting fast traffic, it will be easier for pedestrians to find the centre. The route is complemented with silver pavillions. The design was inspired by the theories of Kevin Lynch and Gordon Cullen.
Looking for the Lijnbaan
The pavillions guide the visitor to the Lijnbaan. These follies also provide other functions such as an information desk, a juice bar and expositon space for retail or artworks from local stores.
The facade of the PathĂŠ cinema is also renewed and made of the same materials as the guiding follies.

Kralingse plas, Rotterdam
Holiday house of wood
This design of a small holiday house is materialized in wood. The location can only be reached by boat and is a long stretched plot with a big tree in the middle of the garden.
The concept of the design is based on the differences between public and private spaces. The wooden â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;block- wallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are connected with one of the three main spaces.

The multifunctional ECC in Rotterdam is developed to celebrate and improve the Chinese - Dutch tradition of trade. Knowledge, economy and creativity will be mixed together in order to create an innovating centre along the Rijnhaven. The urban design is based on the Chinese custom Feng Shui: energy flows, from important inspiring forces in the vicinity, shaped the design of the site. The former warehouse Santos, where these flows come together, will be transformed to become the heart of the ECC. This design is made together with Julie, Rob and Sean. companies MARKET

Pavillion IJsseloog educational centre in the IJsselmeer
Pavillion IJsseloog This educational centre on enviromental issues is located on a silk depot in the IJsselmeer. A rough place like that asked for a design that fits the context. Therefore the naval industry was a leading reference to this project. A design for such an educational centre has to be sustainable: the paviljon is made of used industrial steelbeams and plates, attached to each other in such a way that they can easily be demounted and reassembled.
