December 2014



Introduction In Dutch KAW stands in short for “Cooperative Architecture Working Area” and was founded in 1976. The KAW philosophy is to improve people’s living atmosphere and feeling of happiness therein. We do this through creativity, sustainability and innovation, giving the feeling of spatial freedom and togetherness. We are not the avarage Architects. Our aim is to develop the right environment in which people are living and working. As such this concerns their homes, workplaces, neighbourhoods, districts and villages. To achieve this, we dram on a unique combination of disciplines: architecture, town development, public housing, process management, real estate and engineering. This makes us an unique, broad serviceable company. We work with approximately 50 competent people from Groningen, Rotterdam and Eindhoven. Visit our website at: www.kaw.nl/en

natural shapes of the school reflect its natural surroundings

interior Demographic change urges the school, the gymnasium and the community centre to join together in one building. KAW designed a multifunctional building with an important role for nature. The building, with its flowing forms, fits snugly between the majestic trees. The class rooms offer maximum interaction with the green outdoors with its glass walls. The challenge for the architects was to create a building for more users within the same square metre limitation. They succeeded in designing a building that allows for everyone to have their own room comfortably.


The school fits perfectly on the surrounding green space.

Practical environmental protection is one of the most important mottos of ´Het Talent´. An elementary school, a kindergarten and a daycare centre worked closely together for this new building. The design is based on a high standard of environmental protection with low cost of ownership and includes the green of the post-war area. An auditorium with air space is a bright and open center along with the grand staircase in the building.

The old school building of the Joseph Haydnschool in Groningen has been transformed into a chic new building. The biggest challenge in the design were the two existing gymnasiums between which the new programme had to be placed. The new design folds neatly over the existing gymnasiums. The school is the new home for the primary school, children’s day care and the sports education of Zernike College.

Renovation and expansion of the city gymnasium. The growing number of students was the motivation to ask KAW for a spatial concept that integrates the educational vision in the existing building. The design has been developed in close collaboration with the school and the students. Today, the school offers modern, spacious rooms with the central theatre as the main event space.

As a result of a change in educational programme, the building of Noorderpoortcollege Muntinglaan is being renovated. For 50 years now, this building is being used for technical eduction. That is why it is in the collective memory of many Groningers and so demolition was no option. KAW will design the renovated building, which has to become the face of Noorderpoortcollege Muntinglaan.

For children’s daycare centre ‘De Boemerang’ it is the main challenge to work with the wishes and commands of the principals, personel and users to make the building fun and accessible for children with a developmental delay. The building has to be flexible so it can be used in different ways in the near future.

The school for disabled children from 4 to 18 years old is part of a residential care campus in forested surroundings. The building consists of 2 zones, a sturdy zone for the older kids and a more soft, friendly zone for the youngsters.Yet the outside shows one building that, with its wooden construction and green roof, blends in subtly with its green surroundings. The ‘active building’ has a natural ventilation, a heat pump and the roof is completely covered with solar cells. The cross-section brings natural light throughout the building.

Multifunctional Centre ‘t Brughuus Valthermond

The new multifunctional building had to be designed in such a way, that a primary school could be added to the building later. The building houses a library, community centre, gymnasium and a care centre. A major challenge in the design was to give all the parties the square meters they need within a very limited budget. By designing the spaces optimally multifunctional, the building now counts 33% less GFA than required initially whilst giving all parties the space they need.
