We’re pretty good on surfaces. Our velvet-matt Aluminium finishes in 5 anodised colours open up design options previously un-thought-of. “Blasted Aluminium Colour Anodised” owes its inimitable appeal to a characteristic sheen and fabulous haptic properties.

And, as you have long since come to expect from FSB, the inner values are no less beguiling than those you see.

Background We all want a private home with the fundamental right to arrange it in our own way. However, in the last century mass housing appeared all over the world – especially in urban areas – in the form of buildings in which occupants have no say at all about the lay-out and fit-out of their dwellings. Those buildings have a fixed subdivision in units with standard layouts. But households are all different and change over time, and so are their needs and desires. That is why Open Building introduced ‘infill’ [Habraken, 1961]. An infill is the special unique lay-out and fit-out of a dwelling, or a workplace, a shop, etcetera. The special infill of a dwelling is possible in Open Building by its separation from a ‘support structure’, whilst providing two levels of intervention. A support structure, initiated by an investor, is the base building that allows a variable infill, decided

Background Until now, the individual occupant perspective has been largely overlooked in the design and We all want a private home with the fundamental right to construction of (large scale) housing. This is also true with regard to Circular Building the last century mass housing appeared all over the wor developments. Bringing the Circular Building practice to scale in any meaningful and sustainable form of buildings in which occupants have no say at all way, however, necessitates a critical reflection on the question: for whom do we design, plan and dwellings. Those buildings have a fixed subdivision in units build? Whilst taking account of changing functions, occupants, needs, and material flows over are of all co-design: different and change over and time, and so are time. This brings to the foreground notions customizability flexibility.

In their Building introduced ‘infill’ [Habraken, 1961]. An infill is the particular with regard to the infill. dwelling, or a workplace, a shop, etcetera. The special

Table 1 displays some general aspects regarding the distinction between support and infill domains, advocating the need for adaptability and pinpointing the relation with circular principles [Geldermans, 2016].

Adapts to change Less waste Facilitates circular reuse

The distinction between support-structure and infill is inextricably linked to the notion of diverging and changing interests at stake. Between investors and users on the one hand, and between current and future stakeholders (new investors, new users) on the other. Although structures could – sometimes should – be adaptable as well, the use(r)-flexibility predominantly manifests itself on the infill side. This leads to multiple material and product cycles during the existence of a building. Which, in turn, accommodates a more effective – bespoke and up-to-date – indoor materialization, opening up to new supply and service models that serve a circular economy (right below in Table 1).

Indoor partitioning Addition and/or removal of indoor partitioning walls is an important interior modification.

According to Van der Werf et al. indoor partitioning has three functions/characteristics: 1) dividing spaces according to functional differentiation, 2) providing a base for distinct interior design, and 3) supporting dynamic processes of change in the activity of living [Van der Werf et al., 1987]. Reconfiguration schemes in the interior lay-out are possible without compromising fixed elements, such as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing utilities. Van der Werf designed housing structures with flexible lay-out capacity in several projects, such as the Pelgromhof project in Zevenaar (Van der Werf, 1999-2001), see Figure 2a and 2b. Figure 2a shows the open plan, with only a fixed shaft for technical services, and Figure 2b shows user consultation in a real size model, where infill components could be positioned on a modular 30 cm grid.
