MASTER PLAN IN SCHALKWIJK/ Haarlem, 2003-present
MASTER PLAN EN SCHALKWIJK / Haarlem, 2003-presente
Schalkwijk shopping center was built, outside the main cores of the cities. It was a time in which cars were given much importance and shopping centers acted as main atractors for shopping in a whole region.
Haarlem´s Schalkwijk plan started in the early 2000´s by Jo Coenen´s team. In 2018, a new system was thought in which 50% of the commercial space in the shopping center it has been reduced.The MasterPlan includes a diversity of new functions such as sports facilities, housing, cinema, shops, culture and a new market.
This implementation will help to make this neighborhood become a new atractor of the city and make it lively again.

SOCIAL HOUSING IN KLEIN LEIDSCHE RIJN / Utrecht, 2018-2019
VIVIENDA SOCIAL EN KLEIN LEIDSCHE RIJN / Utrecht, 2018-2019
Leidsche Rijn Centre (Centrum) is located on the border of the Vinex housing estate Leidsche Rijn on the side of the historical city centre. It constitutes the link between the new housing estates to the west of the A2 and the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal to the east, which runs north-south past the city centre.
One of the ambitions in the Leidsche Rijn Centre master plan has been its pronounced urban character, which creates a contrast with the surrounding housing estates. The basis of this was established in the form of a grid pattern. The urban character is expressed in relatively high, dense building development. The centre is surrounded by landscaped, clearly delineated zones such as boulevards and parks. This clarifies the identity and recognisability of the Centre. Three aspects make Leidsche Rijn Centre unique: its central location, its diversity and variation of functions, and its height differences.
KLR is only a small part of the Masterplan development which offers 454 new, affordable, and sustainable rental homes in Leidsche Rijn Centrum, with two-thirds of them classified as social housing.

INTERIOR RENOVATIONS IN OBA LIBRARY/ Amsterdam, 2015-2018
REFORMA INTERIOR EN BIBLIOTECA PUBLICA, OBA / Amsterdam, 2015-2018
It has been 10 years since the central Public Library of Amsterdam at the Oosterdokseiland opened. Due to the changing context of modern society, an intense renovation of the building was required. A few factors that contribute to this changing context are the fact that Amsterdam has the enormous amount of 180 nationalities living in the city, its municipality has a policy to keep young families with children in the city, there is a growing demand for study places, less subsidy is coming from (local) governments, therefore more income needs to be generated by the rental of meeting rooms and the sale of food and drinks, and there are more joint initiatives with other (cultural) institutes of Amsterdam such as the Volks Universiteit, the Eye cinema and the Maison Descartes.
