Mevrouw Meijer is an idealistic organization that trives to improve the architecture of Dutch schools. ey approached u to develop spatial strategy for the Bladergroenschool, which provides special education with other professional organizations, in Groningen. e school dates from the late 60’s and is due for a upgrade. We proposed a mixture of cutting-o demolition and child-scale additions to create a small ‘village’ with lots of space for nature.
large, impractically shaped H-building will be covered by a large roof, which results in two covered yards that function as the hearts of the separate age groups while bringing nature into the school environment. smaller buildings will restored to their original intentions with pitched roofs and lots of daylight, as professed by the ‘Groninger school’.
Baaibuurt
Starting with our research on cooperative housing during ‘Architect in Residence’ (AiR) at ARCAM, we focus on the Baaibuurt, one of the last ‘urban fringe’ areas within the city ring road. Instead of conventional urbanism, what if this area becomes th city’s rst cooperative neighborhood? We developed the alternative urban plan in close collaboration with local inhabitants Het Baaibuurt Collectief and Buro Harro (landscape & urbanism).
We presented to the municipality provocative, strategic plan for 1,800 homes for the Baaibuurt—the same number they aim to realize through conventional ‘top-down’ urbanism, which would eradicate the existing community and nature. With six di erent housing concepts that allow a resilient way of living with water and nature, the alternative plan o ers multiple answers to the challenge of future-proof living.
Courtyard House for/of Elms
the Domesticity among Trees
To propose new way living the conceptual housing block
Mr. Visserplein, the Amsterdam, the project work with the existing—the plot with ve Dutch Elms—while excavating the context the past to both recall and deliver the qualities of courtyard vibe and the possibility living with he trees. With the discussion outdoor domesticity through case studies and analysis, the design strategic proposal for modern city dwellers, city trees, and urban planners. It study of living communities that interrelates qualities of outdoor domesticity, exibility of dwelling units, and the relationship of proximity to nature—the Elms.
