MUSEUMPARK FLUID STAIRS The new depot building I designed for Art Museum Boijmans van Beuningen will be placed at the Museumpark. I wanted to preserve the park’s features. That is why I have chosen to integrate my building in the environment. The building is the environment. By creating different levels, I’ve made a place where people can move around easily. The building consists largely out of stair seats, thereby visitors can walk to the top to enjoy the view, or sit at a performance by the stage. I created an active park trough using stair seats. People will be trying to climb up and down the stairs, looking for their own place. The hills and hollows in the second part of the park provide the embraced feeling of the park. The park should be an icon for the neighbourhood. Location: Museumpark, Rotterdam Year: 2016

Because of the differences in heights, it’s easily for people to socialize with other people, however they can also choose for privacy

NEW FRONTIERS DYNAMIC CHAIR Reflections of dynamics in a city life. The city is continuously in motion, it never sleeps. Trams, cars and people rush by and everlastingly lit buildings define the city landscape. We believe that design for the inner-city should reflect and incorporate the dynamics of city life. As designers we can use contrasting materials, movement, change of light and shapes, in order to achieve this. We don’t want our design to come across as a high-end art piece. We believe that the design should fully blend in with the physical location so it becomes inviting and usable to all city citizens. The design must be accessible to everyone and add value to a public space. We aim to create design spaces where people can come together and socialize outside the typical, designated “social places”.

CARE AND CURE ALZHEIMER CENTER In the Netherlands, an estimated 140.000 people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. It has been predicted that by the year 2050 this number will have passed 300.000 people. That’s 1 in 57 Dutch people. Because this number will keep growing, it is crucial to improve the care for these patients. I have done research on how people with Alzheimer’s disease experience spaces and how this experience can be improved. I’ve integrated every aspect of this in my design, for instance light and airy spaces are good for the day and night rhythm and thereby good for the mood of the patients. Also colours are perceived in a different way and have to be contrasting so patients can easily recognize them. Hallways have to be continuous so the patient won’t be limited. This ensures that patient won’t get frustrated. Location: Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam Year: 2016

MARCONI TOWER MOTION ALONG CURVES This apartment is inspired by UNStudio. I have used the materials that are common in their designs, concrete, glass and stone. I have also been inspired by their inclined planes and streamlined designs. I designed an apartment for a person with dwarfism. To give her a most unique experience I designed an interior that can be used almost exclusively for someone with her height. The kitchen and her sleeping space are connected to each other via a slope. I have created a flow that comes along all areas. Different height levels are defining the spaces, and there are no enclosed spaces. Location: Marconi Tower, Rotterdam Year: 2014

RIVERCRUISE MICROPIA I have been inspired by nature along the route of the rivercruise. By using the voronoi diagram, a common strong structure in nature, I created the design for sleeping capsules. The river cruise has a dull image; the visitors are 50+. I want to revitalize the river cruise and reach a new audience. To reach this goal, I changed the concept of river cruise. The space where guests stay should be an experience itself. This new way of residing saves space. New activity areas can arise, making it more attractive to younger people. Client: Scylla Year: 2015

old concept targetgroup 50+, without children small double rooms
3 segments exists of 18 double rooms with 36 sleeping places regular bedroom
new concept targetgroup +- 30, with children large and shared dormitories with sleeping capsules 3 segments becomes one big area with 60 sleeping places the area where people sleep is an experience itself this new concept is saving space, there are two options of how you can use the additional space 1. more activities on the rivercruise 2. more sleeping places, so the price per person decreases both options are attractive for younger people

BIOBASED STOOL BONES Bones are a waste material, that is a fact. Butchers even have to pay to get rid of them. The construction of our body consists out of bones. So why don’t we use them for another construction? This stool is made out of two hip bones, one thigh bone, one shoulder blade, one iron pin, iron thread, nuts and three large screws. The design is still in development Year: 2016

BIOBASED PAVILION LEVEL UP This pavilion will become a place where people can meet, work or just relax. Studies have shown that a sitting job isn’t very good for your body. The experimental sitting landscape which is in the inside of the pavilion, will challenge people to move around and change position during the day. It will be a flexible working space. The exterior of the pavilion is made of ecoboard and is completely bio-based and biodegradable. The ecoboard consists of waste products from the agricultural sector. Because the panels have all kinds of different angles and corners, the panels support each other and don’t need any extra construction. Eventually the pavilion will travel all around the Netherlands. Because of this, the pavilion needs to be easily dismantled. This is possible because the panels are connected with a finger joint. A couple of panels on the roof will have green vegetation. Not only does it protect the underlying material, it also helps improve the environment. It makes a contribution to the biodiversity in the city and cleans the air.

Sketch models of the pavilion and seating landscape

To create this landscape, I used the plan of Amsterdam along with information about the air pollution in different areas of the city. I did research on which areas produced the most air pollution and which areas were less polluted. The seating element is raised, where the pollution levels are higher. Each grade of pollution has its own unique seating form.
