7 Silodam Silodam AL Amsterdam The Housing Silo is situated on the IJ River, at the tip of the pier, next to two former grain warehouses (silos) that have been converted into housing The 157 apartments, business units and public spaces, in the Housing Silo, are compressed within a 10 storey high and 20 meters deep urban envelope The apartments, rental and owner in different sizes, are stacked, legible on the façade, each of which is expressed differently The aim of mixing functions spatially (commercial units and semi-public spaces were not to be confined automatically to ground level but distributed throughout the complex) has not been realized All commercial units have been gathered in a clearly recognisable volume At the west side is a shared roof terrace for residents, and small boats can moor between the columns underneath Floor area/size m² Contractor Bouwbedrijf MJ de Nijs en Zn Cauberg-Huygen Pieters Bouwtechniek Rabo Vastgoed, De Principaal BV MI_MOA For more info about excursions in the Silodam (Costs: 3 Euro pp) or to make an appointment, please mail to: excursie at silodamorg Requests should be made 2 weeks prior to the requested excursion date Tram 3, stop at Planciusstraat / Zoutkeetsgracht, cross the bridge, go right, into the Barentszstraat Go to the end of the street, and then go left, onto the Barentszplein At the trafficlights, walk straight on, towards the Silodam Bus 48 from Central Station to stop Westerdoksdijk / Van Diemenstraat 7

8 Parkrand Dr Colijnstraat CP Amsterdam The neighbourhood Geuzenveld is located in the western garden cities of Amsterdam There is plenty of public space available but most of these green spaces lack grandeur The project is regarded to be a 'key-operation within the urban renewal of Geuzeveld-Slotermeer The building should provide an iconographic quality to the neighbourhood which it was lacking before The housing block is situated at the edge of a park and consists out of 5 towers, positioned on a deck, carrying a two level roof plate The positioning of the towers provides a clear view from all apartments to the park Because of the holes, or empty spaces in-between, the dwellings behind the big block also still have a view on the park The title of the project - Parkrand means park-edge Developer Kristal Het Oosten Bjorn_Utpott The Geuzenveld neighbourhood is west of the city centre of Amsterdam Tram line 13 takes you from the Central Train Station to the neighbourhood Geuzenveld Stop at Dhr H Colijnstraat You can also take bus number 21 and 192 from the centre Stop at Dhr H Colijnstraat 8

9 photo: Courtesy photo: Courtesy Didden Village Beatrijsstraat RC Rotterdam The first realization in 's home town Rotterdam is a rooftop house extension On top of an existing monumental house and atelier, the bedrooms are positioned as separate houses, optimizing the privacy of every member of the family The houses are distributed in such a way that a series of plazas, streets and alleys appear as a mini-village on top of the building Parapet walls with windows surround the new village Trees, tables, open-air showers and benches are added, optimizing the rooftop life By finishing all elements with a blue poly-urethane coating a new 'heaven' appears It creates a crown on top of the monument The addition can be seen as a prototype for a further densification of the old and existing city It adds a roof life to the city It explores the costs for the beams, infrastructure, and extra finishes, and it ultimately aims to be lower than the equivalent ground price photo: Courtesy Floor area/size m² Pieters Bouwtechniek Rodina Didden JMMM 9
