transformation Wintercircus Ghent, Belgium transformation and renovation, 2013-1016, 12 500 m2 projectleader at ATELIER KEMPE THILL
The Wintercircus Mahy served as a circus building until the early 20th century and later as garage and showroom for the enormous oldtimer collection of car dealer G. Mahy will be transformed into a new cultural centre. The new centre will house the VIAA (Flemish Institute for Archive of the audio-visual heritage), offices for Luisterpunt and iCubes, some gastronomy and a new mediumsize rock concert hall that will be constructed under the main atrium space. The building will be restored with only a minimum of technically necessary changes respecting its rich history and its raw appearance. The huge atrium will be kept in all its generosity and openness. To use the space in various ways and to stage events in a theatrical way the atrium will be provided the “Magic Curtain� - a set of large scale projection curtains. They offer the possibility to darken the space and arrange beamer projections in different settings for different events. Various technical improvements will be realized to adapt the building to new lowenergy, climate and acoustical standards.

Dutch Ambassador’s Residence, Beijing
new building, 2004-2007, 900 m2, projectarchitect at Kraaijvanger •
The Ambassador’s Residence house two functions: representational and private. On the relatively large site in the 2nd Diplomatic District, we conceived a single-storey building with two wings. Hence the domestic character of the ‘home’ doesn’t suffer from the professional/representational function The main expression of the design is dominated by the elongated wall of Mongolian granite and the cantilevered roof. The south- and west facades offer a view to the garden, designed as a ‘dry river’. The winter garden provides year-round green in the harsh climate of Beijing.

Provincial government building Overijssel, Zwolle
renovation 2002-2007, 29 000 m2, projectarchitect at Kraaijvanger •
The Provincial government building of Overijssel is a renovation of the 1972 building designed by Dutch architect Marius Duintjer, respecting its cohesion, plasticity, transparency, spaciousness and fine details. The typical 70s orange awnings outside have been replaced by ones with an oak leaf print. The floor plans that were originally intended for open-plan offices now accommodate a modern office concept with flexible, activity-related work spaces. Technically and aesthetically, the interior design of the Provincial government building was fully modernized. Traditional patterns from the vernacular of Overijssel are incorporated into decorative elements that give identity and atmosphere to the flexible work spaces. The solemn concrete wall encircling the main hall was treated with a gold finish.

extension house, Woerden 2005-2006, 45 m2, projectarchitect at Kraaijvanger •
A house (1932) next to the former barn are connected through a serre to a new spational ensemble which escapes the original narrow dimensions. The client was used to an open space full of daylight. Thanks to more than 10 years development was it possible to do a construction without steel columns. The cantilivered green roof (ca. 8 x 9 m) is supported on two sides by the glazen facade. De two wide pivoted doors revolve in freestanding frames to avoid an illusoriness of supporting.

Collectioncenter, Amsterdam
2009, invited competition without result teamleader GROUP A
kan
liot
The design of the new collection center as a archive with library for the new filmmuseum on the north side of Amsterdam has only restricted public use. The idea of the task is to visualize en experience the intuitive contradiction of on one side to guard valuable treasure and on the other side to welkom people to visit this valuable treasure. The result is a closed and compact volume with an extraordinary sceneografic face. The compact box is climatological most efficient for this sensible content - the collection. It’s guarded by the employees working in their offices on top of it.
