charging rotterdam || de pier Rotterdam, Bospolder-Tussendijken | Feb 2014 - Jun 2014 The neighbourhood Bospolder-Tussendijken is located near the docks of Rotterdam and has a big variaty of cultures and target groups. Though, it is known as being one of the poorest areas of Rotterdam, the neighbourhood offers a weekly market, located on the Visserijplein. The main problem of the square is during the none market days, when it shows to be empty and abandoned. The opportunity for this area is to design a project that will activate the square and bring the different parts of the neighbourhood together: park, market, culture and housing. This results in a multifunctional building that offers dwellings for different target groups but also a place where the different cultures can come together. The programme will be a mix of dwellings and public functions which are already in the existing building: Pier 80. The 60 dwellings will be divided in three target groups: starters, family and elderly. The public functions that have to be housed in the project are a library, a gymnasium and a community centre. The concept of this design is to create three different squares with each their own function. The first square will be the public market square, oriented towards the park. The square in the south east will have its orientation towards the existing houses, the designed dwellings will also have a connection with this square. The last area is the collective space inside the dwelling which will have a more warm and private feeling and will mostly focus on the new dwellings. The facade is a design with the ideas of the market behind it. Each market consists of one important factor which is putting something on the display with an equal background. This same idea is being achieved in this project, by making a glass facade and giving each dweller the opportunity to fill in their private space. The entire building gets a second skin that does not only have an architectural factor but also a climate advantage. During the summer the facade will be open and the balconies within will activate the surrounding, here by letting the fresh air in and ventilating the dwellings. During the winter the facade is closed off and the dwellers have more connection with eachother on their balconies, the balconies become a big winter garden with each dweller their own space. This garden makes the air coming inside already preheated and resulting in fewer energy costs. 4

graduation project || Housing the plinth || urban plan Amsterdam, Kattenburg | Feb 2016 - Jun 2016 The main theme for this Graduation project was Transformation and Densification of the existing urban fabric. The amount of inhabitants in big cities has been growing over the past decades and this forces cities like Amsterdam to increase its urban density in order to house all incoming and current citizens. Due to this development space is rare in the ongoing growing cities which forces these cities to find alternative ways of housing the growing population. Especially space in the old city centres is scarce: the historical urban form is protected by the government and the rules are very strict for transforming this tissue. Therefor the assigned location for this graduation project was a neighbourhood in the historical wharf area of Amsterdam which is well connected to the city centre. The to be transformed neighbourhood is Kattenburg, a quite area near the city centre which lies between the Marine Terrain and Oostenburg. In the near future the neighbourhoods of Oostenburg and Marine terrain will be transformed into hip, new, innovative and vibrant areas for young professionals. Therefor my vision for Kattenburg is to create an area that is well connected to the surrounding neighbourhoods as at this point it’s isolated from the rest of the city. The new Kattenburg will form a link between the surrounding neighbourhoods with the ideal location to house this target group and therefor improving the infrastructural as well as the social connection. I chose to research the problem that often provides itself in post-war neighbourhoods: the plinths of medium rise and high rise buildings don’t consist of living space but usually function as storage or parking for the dwellings on top. These ordinary plinths form the cover for the storages of the spacious dwellings above. These storage spaces take about 20% of the total floor area in one block and therefor form the perfect place for densification. Not only will the transformation of the storages create more dwelling area but also increase the quality of public space. In order to research the proposed problem and achieve the desired results I decided to demolish parts of the existing Kattenburg. The entrance to the area and the adjoining ‘wall’ with collective decks are for me the soul of the island and herefor will remain as they are. The green roofs of these decks are well used and appreciated by the dwellers. To achieve the desired densification of 200% a high-rise will be realised in the north-east of Kattenburg near the water. 14

On the scale of the building different plinth typologies will provide for a diversity in the dwellings. The new building designed within this graduation project will provide a framework for different dwelling plinths in a high dense urban area. As mentioned before, the parking decks are the heart of Kattenburg, with its green gardens and collectiveness. A similar approach will be applied in the design with the difference that the courtyard provide access during the day for pedestrians. This results in the first element I researched: the ‘hofje’. The main aspect that presented itself is that the entrances to the dwellings are located within the courtyard and not on the outside. Also the overall configuration of the courtyard with a central spot and symmetry was lend from the hofjes research. (see number 2 above) Furthermore, the waterfront side is a beautifull car free area but at this moment not very attractive due to the lack of users. My goal is to place as many entrances to the dwellings as possible in order to activate this plinth. I decided to use the principle of a souterrain area, common in the historical centra of London and Amsterdam which provided me with twice as many direct entrances to the dwellings. By adding a used basement two dwelling entrance within one bay could be realised. By designing a back to back typology entrances in the courtyard as well at the waterfront were possible. (see number 3 above) Last, the master plan provided place in the middle of the area for a car free neighbourly street with on one side the existing dwellings on the ground floor and on the other side my building block with it’s third plinth element: a combination of a portico and an arcade. These are set backs with a double height, over the entire dwelling, that provide a barrier for the adjacent dwellings. (see number 1 above)

Animation movie “crossing� Minor TU Delft | Sep 2011 - Jan 2012 During my minor the assignment was to make an animation movie based on a story written by ourselves. My assingement was to model the male figure and animate half the movie. Sp modeling includes skinning, texturing and sculpting was the main focus. This is where I obtained my animation and modeling skills. For the result you can go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwdPB8hn9zk&feature=youtu.be
