Musis Sacrum by Van Dongen Koschuch Architects
Type: 1st Prize Competition (tender) Location: Arnhem, NL Program: Concert Hall Year: extension 2015-2017 Surface: new 5.950 m², existing 3.870 m² Client: City of Arnhem
Musis Sacrum is from 1847 an important landmark for music in the city of Arnhem .The building passed through several renovation and building works, until the competition of 2014 that decided the demolition of the addition from the ‘6os. The proposal for the extension of Musis Sacrum aims to preserve the monumental brick building and to give more importance to the landscape of Musis Park. The project is conceived as an open-side pavillion in the green. The ground floor consists in a glass facade, creating a constant relationship between the outside and the foyer. Existing and new are bound by a common plinth, that creates space at its front, an urbane setting in the centre of the park, which serves as an extension of the foyers. The new hall is cladded with wood inside, and on the outside with green ceramic profiles. The hall has a big window behind the stage, that opens towards the park and acts as a green backdrop for performances. 4

Interior Musis Sacrum by Van Dongen Koschuch Architects
Type: Commission Location: Arnhem, NL Program: Foyers, bars, offices, changing rooms Year: extension 2015-2017 Surface: new 5.950 m², existing 3.870 m² Client: City of Arnhem
Together with the renovation and new building of Musis Sacrum, Van Dongen Koschuch Architects got also the commision for designing interior elements and choosing furniture for main spaces such as foyers, bars, changing rooms, concert halls and offices. Stricly connected to the architecture, the interior elements use same or similar materials, like bronze and wood, creating a fine and pleasant atmospher. The interiors in fact don’t dominate the architecture, but they simply enhance it. Custom-made objects such as bars and paintries show clean lines and shapes, they were thought to be flexible in order to be moved in the building, according to different events and performances. Great attention was also given to the users, their inputs were a foundamental aspect during the design fase. 8

Conservatorium Amsterdam by Van Dongen Koschuch Architects
Type: Private commission Location: Amsterdam, NL Program: Music academy Year: Extension 2016 (existing 2005-2007) Surface: New 2280 m² (existing 16000 m²) Client: Foundation of the Amsterdam School of Arts
The Conservatorium of Amsterdam is situated in the eastern area of the Centraal Station, Oosterdokskade. The project from Frits Van Dongen has been realized between 2005-2007. In 2016 the Conservatorium had the chance to enlarge the current building. The Architects were asked to design an extension that was coherent with the existing part, providing more space for reharsal rooms and offices at the top floor. The principle of the engawa, the corridor running around the core of the building, is taken by Japanese housing typlogy and it is also continued in the new design. The new part, a stepping glass facade cantilivering from 4th floor until the 10th, faces the North side of the plot, offering a beautiful overview on the IJ. At ground floor 15 m tall columns were added to support the extension block. The monumental aspect of these pillars respond to the urban plan of the area and gives a further feature of elegance and decoration to the nord side of the building, mainly use of loading and unloading. 12

Cascade by Van Dongen Koschuch Architects
Type: Commision Location: Alkmaar, NL Program: Housing apartments, retail Year: 2016 Surface: 7.100 m²(housing, retail), 1500 m² (supermarket) Client: Duravermeer
The project of Cascade in Geert Groteplein in Alkmaar provides an interesting combination of different functions from retail (supermarket), working spaces (dentists and shops), apartments and single houses, including parkings. The residential tower has 67 apartements, ranging from 55m2 to 70 m2.. The volume of the block is gradually cascading towards the souther side, therefore maximizing the amount of sunlight, broad views and experience for the user. Due to double-headed shafts, grid line of 5.4m and the ability to deconstruct parts of the load-bearing wall, it is possible to create a three-room apartment, studio or a larger house in a simple way. The materials are bricks and wood, because of their durability and availability. The wall around the whole plot designed with gates and openings garantees privacy and masks the parking lots at the ground floor. 16

Speelhuis Theatre by Van Dongen Koschuch Architects
Type: 1st Prize Competition (tender) Location: Helmond, NL Program: Foyers, backstage spaces for the existing theatre Year: 2015 (date of commission) Surface: 2200 m² Client: City of Helmond
Designed as a transparent and restrained pavilion around the existing theatre located in the Catholic church, the project shows a careful integration within the urban environment and the complex of church and presbytery. The exterior of the church becomes then the interior of the new building, strengthening the cohesion and ambiance of the space. It is a creative and wilful interplay between exterior and interior, openness and transparency. Program wise, the new building provides backstage spaces such as foyer, changing rooms and load-unload spot. The new plan improves also the public route around the building, creating a public square in front of the main entrance, where a multifunctional room for readings or small performances is located. The façade facing the cultural square can be opened during summer, combining public space and building into one. 20

Huis Op Zuid by Van Dongen Koschuch Architects
Type: Competition (tender) Location: Rotterdam, NL Program: Swimming pool, primary school, housing Year: 2016 (competition) Surface: m² Client: Municipality of Rotterdam
Huis Op Zuid is a competition held by Municipality of Rotterdam, in order to offer new activities and housing to the Southern part of Rotterdam, which is now on the spot for new urban/architectural projects. The program includes a sport centre with swimming pool, a primary school and apartments. At ground floor the entraces are grouped by function and this aspect gives each user his own identity and orientation in the building. The school for instance is accessible by a patio that becomes also playground for the kids. The project is characterized by strong horizontal bends, that alternate bricks and glass, solid and transparency. The organization of the program shows rationality in space and, from the user’s experience, a continous visual connection through the diffrent functions, by using higher platforms and double height ceiling. 24

Focus Filmhuis by Van Dongen Koschuch Architects
FORM FOLLOWS FILM
Type: Competition (tender) Location: Arnhem NL Program: Cinema halls, working spaces, parking Year: 2016 (competition) Surface: Cinema 2400 m² + 50 housing units Client: City of Arhem
The city of Arnhem proposed this competition for designing a Filmhuis and cultural hub in the center of Arnhem, just in the front of the church of Saint Eusebius. The proposal of Van Dongen Koschuch offer an intresting spatial configuration, where the church still works as a landmark, because visible through the building. The plan includes a central staircase and tribune as core of the building. The orange staircase brings visitors to the “underground” part of the Filmhuis, where three small halls are placed. While at ground floor the tribune can be used for events and lectures, while a foldable glass facade can open towards the square. Going up, visitors reach a hall for cinema and offices spaces, that can be rented for freelancers or small companies. On top floor a terrace offer a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy the view. 26

Exploring Mass Msc Graduation Project, Tu Eindhoven
Type: Msc Graduation Project Location: Pavia, Italy Program: Cultural centre, auditorium Surface: new 1350 m² Year: 2013 University: Technological University of Eindhoven
The graduation project of my Master at Tu Eindhoven represents both a theoretical study on Massive Architecture and its behaviour in space, and an application of this type of architecture in the structured urban pattern of Pavia, town in Norther Italy. The urban analysis explores solids and voids and its inversion, transforming solid in void and vice versa. Moreover the role of courtyard typology in the area gives an input for spatial organization of the new building. The architecture explores Massiveness by using sculptural volumes and thick walls as a new interpretation of traditional forms. The user experiences space which changes at each point in the architecture, moving through different kinds of space: covered, semi, uncovered and open, semi, closed. The connection among them generates semi-spaces, spaces explicitly in between others. The initial impression of a homogeneous block of concrete reveals instead a variation in materiality and texture. Smooth polished surfaces merge with free disposition of independent volumes at ground floor; while rough facade of first level emphasizes the monolithic character of the auditorium volume, more enclosed and reachable through one entrance. 28
