5 La Fortezza Offices and Housing Avenue Ceramique KV Maastricht The site of La Fortezza Offices and Housing is located at a turning point on the central axis of a newly built area The lot is triangular, one side of which is formed by a street in a residential area and the other by a motorway The issue of the corner is dealt with by use of a cylinder which, placed in the middle, articulates two linear volumes The determination of uses is expressed by the volumetric composition Hence the apartments are located in the cylindrical volume, while the offices are located in the two linear ones In its tripartite articulation of surface, the design features deep cuts that reveal loggias and an ordered repetition of windows The cylinder, being almost double the height of the linear volumes, becomes the focal point A square courtyard is delineated within the cylinder and two large portals in front and a generous cut at the rear reveal the courtyard to the exterior m² Structural engineer Mario Botta Büro Hoen architecten Wilma Vastgoed Sahil_Latheef 5

8 Arets-Sijstermans House + Studio D' Artagnanlaan 29/ CH Maastricht Set in an area of Maastricht that is dominated by villa's and suburban houses, the Arets-Sijstermans House + Studio appears, when seen from a distance, as a rectangular wooden box implanted into the ground Only the immediate surroundings and interior unveil it's complexity The complex nature of the building is due to the architectural manipulation but within a host of restrictive laws imposed on constructional projects at the site It's richness is brought to light by the complex arrangement of the terrain and the interior spaces The term 'ground floor' is abstract in this design since half of the three-storey volume is below ground For the actual ground level, the term 'garden level' is more appropiate The levels thus include the top level, the garden level and the lower level Not only is the building vertically divided into technical spaces for living and working, but horizontally as well, as it is divided into two equal halves at street level 1997 Wiel Arets s Arets + Sijstermans Sahil_Latheef 8
