2015-2016 Remi Versteeg Amstelveen
Interior design of a penthouse in a new building for a retired couple, one of which suffering from Parkinson’s. The round corners in the “objects” are so he doesn’t harm himself due to the unstable range of mobility and lack of balance. In the project the main space is clearly separated from the private rooms and storage spaces, which are located in the objects. This project was developed until technical design [TO] level.

THE MUSEUM HOTEL [ongoing] year supervisors team location
2015 Stijn de Weerd, Remi Versteeg, Gijs Baks [ila/ MONO] Katarina Labathova, Ines van Sandick Amsterdam
The brief was to make a pitch concept to transform a previous prison into a hotel housing artworks from museum depots. Following city hall plans, the new program is also required to involve the community, therefore in the proposed re-use there are also art studios for young artists who can as well observe the showcased art pieces. Hotel visitors would be privileged to the chance of observing the exposition at their leisure, even after hours like on a museum night.

2015 Stijn de Weerd, Remi Versteeg, Gijs and Joost Baks [ila/MONO] project architect Lars Goossens location Amsterdam For a renovation of a Maaskant office building from the 70’s we were asked to adapt the interiors to the new facade design and to reorganize the plans of the main floors of the building. Particular attention was to be paid to the ground floor where the foyers and commercial spaces are located. My participation was in assisting the project architect with the floorplan designs and to make a scale model of the ground floor.
Master thesis THE MONOSTERION year location supervisors
2013/2014 Prague, Czech Republic Juliette Bekkering, Sjef van Hoof
Stvanice island in Prague seemed the perfect location for a new typology of the monastery. It serves as a refuge from the hassle of city daily life, as well as demonstrates the fragility of quietness. The topology of the monastery represents many things in different cultures, but the most precious traits are universal. The objective of this design was to re-create the safe place where one can heal without judgement, but in this case, also without theological restrictions.

TEA HOUSE year
2012
“A world hidden inside, where time flows at it’s own pace, a vacant space leaving an impression just by it’s spaciousness.” Tea House, A1 Architects The design was based on the analysis of the Tent Tea House by Tadao Ando with the objective of creating a mobile tea house, which can be assembled and dissembled on various locations. The shape resembles that of a sea shell creating a separate world within. The waffle wooden structure transmits a feeling of structural security covered by slightly transparent canvas providing a glimpse of the outside world. A wooden platform with 41/2 tatami mats is placed for relaxing and tea drinking.

WORKSHOP year location
2013 TU/e Campus, Eindhoven, Netherlands
This design serves as a temporary extension of the workshop at the department of Built Environment. It’s a place where students would work long, hard hours, and as such it has to be a place of inspiration and creativity. The use of the honeycomb hexagons correlates with it’s origin of the bee hive, during the day the hard-working students glimpse the outside world through the gaps, while at night outsiders view the busy students furiously working inside. Due to the building facing south, the daily hours would be represented by the hexagon shaped lights creeping along the floor until the day ends and they go outside instead.

SERPENTINE PAVILION year location
2013 London, England
The objective was to design a tea pavilion for the Serpentine Gallery at Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park. The pavilion would follow the same requirements and purpose of the annual Summer Serpentine Pavilion, with the added purpose of being a place to drink tea. The design is based on the feeling of sitting under a tree canopy and being able to experience the aromatic plants used for the making of tisane tea. By sitting lower than ground level, the visitors would feel further enveloped by the elements and isolated from the bustling city.
