PORTFOLIO
Every Little Step Sun Xichen Portfolio 2012-2017
The Desert The moon lit the desert Yet no litten candle in the heart The stars lined into constellation Yet no lined rainbow to destination Stay the nights lying with camel Stay the days looking for oasis Running towards Polaris in the dark Escaping from Mirage under the sun Storm of sand yelling the air Roaring around over the voice Clouds of steam dissipating the distance Revealing lost sea upon the sight
The Ocean The breeze touched the cheek Stray, am straying alone The rain wet the hair Look, am looking for dream Just a kid, young and fragile Just a ranger, lonely for home Just a trip, ain’t no fear Flowed into sea, ain’t no tear Thousands of brown, miles of blue Keep out rest, until the blossom Keep in dream, after the rot

CPO Sciencepark VO DO BA BE Phase 2015-2017, Atelier van Wengerden Completion 2018 Location: Amsterdam Client: Collective of 16 Families Team: Jacco van Wengerden, Elise Laurent, Camille Barbo, Maria Martinez, Andrew Choptiany, Xinming Li, Henry Holmes
Collectief Particulier Opdrachtgeverschap Collective Private Commissioning (CPO) is a form of social development which future residents are jointly clients for their new project. The future residents set up a legal entity that allows them to act collectively as a principal in the development process and to purchase an adviser in the arm leading them through the process. Here all participants are constantly understanding and participating in the selection of the construction system, the materials, the finishing and the cost. In the later stages individual buyers have to decide on the opportunity, grading and finishing of their own home. CPO Sciencpark Atelier van Wengerden, together with CPO Scencepark, won a tender to build 16 apartments with parking and communal spaces on this challenging dike site in the east of Amsterdam. Work commenced in 2015 on this sculptural and functional building, which acts as an arresting contrast to other buildings in the Science Park neighbourhood.
The site is particularly challenging due to a number of factors, In particular, it is located on a dike and therefore subject to numerous restrictions enforced by the Water Board. Furthermore, it adjoins an access road onto Amsterdam’s main ring road with its consequent noise, and it is surrounded by a number of much higher buildings, which has implications in terms of light. Finally, there was a demand that the building should be as sustainable and energy effi cient as possible.

Structure Axis 01
For a number of reasons, it was decided that a cantilever structure represented the most elegant and appropriate solution. This was largely determined by the fact that the dike is a protected zone on which no building is permitted. Moreover, the cantilever creates an outdoor space to the street side that affords a generous entry to the building, a requirement stipulated in the development-plan. As this inevitably resulted in completely shaded lower levels, a gradually increasing overhang to both sides was introduced.
A sun study revealed that despite the surrounding tower blocks, the south side of the building receives a lot of sun, making balconies a viable proposition for all apartments. The balconies are unusually deep, with perforations enabling maximum light to reach the lower fl oors, and the underside of the balconies feature sound absorbent materials to limit traffic noise.
The apartments themselves wrap around a central tower, with most apartments enjoying views on three sides. A bridge from the first floor links to a cycle path on the dike, which in turn links the building to a bridge over the canal to the rapidly gentrifying Indischebuurt. The ground floor parking garage is accessed from the side of the building, and the storage units are also located on this dyke side of the building. The single cladding of perforated metal enables a naturally ventilated garage, whilst also providing sun shading and privacy.

To emphasize the horizontal concrete elements, it is decided that the rest part of the facade should be more vague in visual aspect. The facade has three levels of transparency, and the grating itself could play with a changing visual effect from far to near. The materialization took quite a lot of tests on everything, from the colors of the foils, texture of the concrete, to the denstiy of the gratings, so that they could match together as a whole. And at the same time, options are provided for the 16 customer families to choose.

Horizontal Detail Combinations
As one of the unique aspects of CPO projects, clients are given the opportunities to design their own apartments with the architects, from the most general space arrangement to the very last finishing. In our case, in order to optimize the balance between flexibility and costsaving, the modular details on the elevations are designed. The details are designed with special joints together with the windows and the gratings, so that on the internal side, they could either be exposed to the residents with a refined look or be connected to a partition wall. After this basic and essential step, plans are adjusted to the needs of the clients, without losing the crucail quaility of the open views. Apartment 1, Electric Plan, 1st Floor

Wet area and fixed furniture design are also part of the last steps. In order to realize the fineset quaility, tiles are positioned precisely, sanitary products are chosen carefully, kitchen island is tailor-made to the clients’ body scale and even the sockets are placed according to the future use.

JK House VO DO BA BE Phase 2015-2017, Atelier van Wengerden Completion 2018 Location: Den Haag Client: F.F.I. Beheer b.v. Team: Jacco van Wengerden, Camille Barbo, Maria Martinez, Andrew Choptiany, Elise Laurent, Henry Holmes
Urban Garden Living Commissioned by FFI beheer, Atelier van Wengerden designed a family house set at the heart of a 1930s building block in The Hague. The space was previously a garden center and the green legacy is maintained with a green roof and the interaction with the garden.
West Facade
Site Plan
Courtyard
Effectively, entrance to the house is away from the street. This eliminates the need for some aspects of the traditional hierarchy of spaces and structure, and enables interesting new spatial and functional possibilities. Thus the house is built around three cores, which are linked by corridors, and three levels including the courtyard, with a sloping roof that helps to define the different living functions. Essentially. the more private functions are allocated to the lower levels and those areas beneath the lowest roof levels. At ground level the house is as open as possible and designed to interact
with the garden. The green roof also as part of the garden within a local urban development plan. Following a sunlight study the house is aligned for maximum sunlight, and light pours into the living room through a large skylight. The dominant cladding material is a corten steel vertical grating that provides a combination of privacy and security and enables the occupants to leave the windows open even when they are not at home. The steel also provides a sense of lightness while the red/ brown colour refl ects the ambient colour of the brickwork of the surrounding housing.
Kitchen
The facade cladding is using 2 types of grating panels with different vertical densities. It follows the rhythm of the column system, and at the same time, makes sense for the supplier’s standard. Most importantly, it gives the facade a subtle diversity without breaking the continuity of the surface.
North Elevation
Living Room
The design of the interior is honestly following the logic of the construction, creating a simple, bright and cozy space for the residents. The screed floor merged well into the concrete base, the windows are well combined with the steel columns, and the ceiling is unified with the wooden beams.

The Eye Library DD, CD Phase 2015, MVRDV Completion: 2017 Location: Tianjin, China Client: Tianjin City Government Team: María López Calleja, Zhe Zhang
The Eye The library, one part of a larger cultural complex masterplan, bases itself around a mirrored spherical auditorium which, coupled with the main atrium, forms an eye that gives panoramas of the interior space and reflects the beautiful park in front of the building. The Book Mountain Terraced bookshelves echo the sphere throughout the atrium, leading users up into the heart of the library, at the same time create the central public space for the whole building.
The louvers on the facade are the continuity form from the book moutian. With the light weight material hanging on the cassettes, it palys both roles of form and funcion, not only reflecting the inner layered terraces, but also providing a sun shading system.

The design of the book mountain area sonsists of detailed studies of the steps widths in relation to the human scale, multiple activities, and the accessibility of the bookshelves. The areas with wider steps allow people to communicate and relax, while the narrower areas are more for reading alone.

To provide a healthy reading environment in such a huge atrium, lighting research is also a must. The ceiling lights are hidden in the grooves, emphasizing the layers boundaries withour generating the direct glare. The shelf lights provid visitors with a clear view of the book display on the terraces. The street lights distributed in the atruim, high and low, guarantee the readers with sufficient lumion.

The next green tower in Singapore’s CBD With the recent compensation rules to activate vertical greening, a legal framework has been started. This has created a true development of green towers. Singapore is maybe the only city in the world that has developed this issue so well and so extensively.
The lifted park The project consists of a tower and a podium. The podium stages a new urban park on the top of it, accessible from the ground floor City Room through a series of public escalators that stop at the retail and food market levels. The cave By erasing bits and pieces of the floors here and there the desired height can be achieved. These erasures allow for an extra quality for the users. And for the city. By concentrating this erasures on crucial spots, in relation to program needs and visual relations with surroundings, a series of caves arises. The caves enable a series of terraces that can be planted with nice and lush vegetation. It creates shelters for tropical forests. Glass panels protect plants plants and visitors.

M+ Museum Acadamic Project + Competition 2013, Public Buidings studio, TUDelft Client: West Kowloon Cultural District Authority Location: Hong Kong, China Team: Tatiana Starchenko, Nasim Razavian Tutor: A.S. Alkan, Niklaas Deboutte, Michiel Riedijk, Stefano Milani
M+ M+ is the new museum for visual culture in Hong Kong, as part of West Kowloon Cultural District, focusing on 20th and 21st century art, design and architecture and moving image. The City Stage As the corner stone of the West Kowloon Cultural District, the museum is not only a container for the art works, but also has a mission to represent the identity of the area, stimulating the vitality of Nersury Park in front of the building by attractint the people both from the Victoria harbor on the front, and the typical Hong Kong pedestrian bridge at the back.
WKCD The West Kowloon Cultural District sits on a dramatic harbour-front site in the heart of Hong Kong. It is easily accessible by MTR, ferry, bus, bike and road. It will be developed into one of the world’s largest cultural quarters, blending art, education and public space.
By lifting the main entrance platform up to the same level of the typical Hong Kong footbridge, the museum provides a intermediate city square between the down town business center and the Nursery Park. It works as a buffer area from fast to slow, stress to chill, not only avoiding the brutal link between the two different atmospheres, but also framing the beautiful scenery of the Victoria harbor. From distance, the platform can be seen as a city stage with a welcoming gesture as well.

The perforated facade panels have different densities of the pores, variating lighting conditions for different spaces. At the same time, they have a decorating effect on the building, degrading the overwhelming feeling of the massive volume by adding this pixelized layer on the surface.

De Utrecht Acadamic Project 2012, RMIT studio, TUDelft Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands Client: De Utrecht Tutor: Sara Stroux
The Damrak in Amsterdam The Damrak street is the most popular yet crowded street just right in front of the Amsterdam centraal station. The overwhelming number of tourists has scared the residents there away for years. The government is doing a gentrification project called the “Red Carpet”. It aims in upgrading the street so that it could comply to the the new level of density of the street, and at the same time, bring the vacant heritage area back to life without being filled with souvenir shops. De Utrecht This office building was designed for the insurance company ‘De Utrecht’ by the architects Staal & Kropholler in 1904. The richly decorated facade contains beautiful statues, made by the artist Mendes da Costa. The building became a monument in 2001. The program for the redesign is a mix of residential and commercial functions. The research of this project focuses on conservation and how to recognize the architectural and cultural values of existing buildings in the context of their surroundings.
Left: Quiet rooftop route for residents Right: Crowded Damrak street for tourists
The private path on rooftops: In order to separate the tourists and the residents, a private path has been added, parelle to the Damrak, connecting all the rooftops of the canal houses. The path helps the residents fully avoid the crowds on the street, thus making it possible to live in the center of the tourist area.
Preserved facade and staircase: The facade and the staircase were built with the biggest effort when the building was firstly contructed in 1904. Nature stones and FOREST-themed statues on the front, the copper roof cladding on the top, and the stain glasses in the staircase are all worth to be preserved.
Added stairs + rennovated courtyard: The exterior staircase is a double-edged sword both for the alley underneath and the privat entrances above. It’s also the most direct connection to the newly carved courtyard. To make things clear bewteen the new and the old, the courtyard has a more curvy form than the other preserved elements.
Roof gardens and terraces: After a detailed value assessment, the side and rare elevations are allowed to be renovated. By adding extending platforms, the back side is fully opened to the air, with shared or private roof gardens and terraces. The continuous greenery is a new way to echo the theme of the FOREST other than the featured statues.
Above and below the staircase: The staircase separates the commercial area and the residential area. On the lower part, the renovation of the windows and bricks will follow the architectural language in a modernized way from the front facade. On the upper part, the residents are provided with a totollay refreshing feeling while still living in a monument.
Bricks and Greens: With a detailed material study, the bricks are still playing the most important role as they were. Yet glassbricks are also used on elevations of the upper part, to clearly state the differences between the old and the new. And to follow the FOREST theme of the insurance company, natural materials and vertical plantations are also used.
Plans
The insurance company De Utrecht had a concept of ‘Growing a Tree’ with their customers. Thus they really made an effort to liteally realize the building with the statues of forest animals and plants. The stain glass windows in the old staircase also help building a dimmy yet safe light environment when the customers are climbing to the offices, simulating the forest atmosphere. To continue this concept with the new renovation, the newly created rooftop path, the exterior staircase, the curvy courtyard, the roofgardens are designed as an extension of the tree branches. In this way, it also reminds the new residents of the old stories.

The Warming Hut Competition 2014 Location: Winnipeg, Canada Organizer: Manitoba Association of Architects Team: Natsuki Takeshita, Shengjie Zhan
The Icy Road The Forks is located in downtown Winnipeg, at the junction of the Red River and the Assiniboine River. In the freezing winter, the intersection of the two rivers historically has made the area a popular meeting place for over 6,000 years. In recent times, the site has developed into a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, with over four million visitors annually. The Invisible Cube The warming hut serves as a temporary resting room for all the by-passers on the frozen river. The faรงade is covered with mirrors. The existence of the hut would dissolve into the ice and sky by reflecting the surrounding winter landscape. The chilly skaters will see the reflection of the light far from the hut and gradually catch its existence when they get closer to it.

The inside of the hut is a totally different story. The soft and warmcolored urethane foam is an abviouos contrast to the reflective and glossy surfaces from the outside. Other than the materialization, the random and dynamic shape of the urethane cave is also playing against the language of the minimalist skin, yet among the wildness it still fits the human scales so the skaters could lounge themselves in many positions.
The Band Stand Acadamic Project 2013, Ornamatics Research, TUDelft Sichuan, China Tutor: Martijn Stellingwerff, Jack Breen, Jeroen van de Laar
The Band Stand The band stand is located in a small yet historic village in Sichuan province, China. People there still have this old tradition of gathering together on their unique olive shaped public square to see the Chinese drama. The old bandstand was built in the calssic wooden structure, ‘Dou Gong’ bracket system, with a lifted stage that you could see from both sides. The Modernized Classic Structure The Ornamatics course does researches for contemporary ornamentation which is integrated with many aspects: ergonomic design, structural design, composition, details, production methods etc. The reinterpretation of the traditional band stand is an experiment to try the ‘Dou Gong’ system in a new way combining the abovementioned apects.
Art Practices 2007-2017
Every Little Step Art is always an important part of my life. Throughout the studying and working experience of architecture, art also plays an important role in the background. By doing single works and cooperations with other artists, I enriched my personality, added more layers of thoughts to have a better understanding on aesthetics. And most importantly, I got to learn how to keep an creative mind and a heart with love. Different art forms can always inspire each other, so it does to the architecture design. The inspiration not only comes from the emotional part, but also has a simple, clear and logical idea behind it. After all, everything is connected.
