4 photo: Piotr Krajewski photo: Piotr Krajewski Kunsthal Westzeedijk AA Rotterdam A complex, bold and amazing exposition space, a museum without collection, the Kunsthal presents culture in the widest sense of the word: old art, new art, design, photography - from elitist to popular The site presented a dual condition: the southern edge is bordered by the Maasboulevard, a 'highway' on top of a dike The northern side, a level lower, faces the Museum Park - conventional contemplation With these given, and the fact that these crossings would divide the square site into 4 parts, the challenge was: how to design a museum as 4 autonomous projects - a sequence of contradictory experiences which would nevertheless form a continuous spiral circuitthe pedestrian ramp is split, with a glass wall separating the outside, which is open to the public, from the inside, which is part of the circuit A second ramp, running parallel and reversed, is terraced to accommodate an auditorium, and beneath it the restaurant On the level where the 2 ramps cross, is the main entrance photo: Rotterdam Marketing Project is public!

7 photo: Peter Varkevisser Photography Periscope Houses Marinus van Elswijkkade 3059 SG Rotterdam The neighbourhood Waterwijk (waterquarter) is situated in the new urban suburb Nesselande, an expansion area of Rotterdam In this quarter the 12 dwellings are the main eye-catchers at the edge of the neighbourhood, with a row of periscope-houses next to the water Nesselande lies somewhere between Nieuwerkerk and Zevenhuizen In the 'exclusive and idyllic archipelago' the prosperous (mostly inhabitants of Rotterdam, fleeing the city) can built their dreamhouse without interference of municipal committees Despite a specially organized design competition (as an inspiration-tool for fresh, new ideas), the area offers the same familiar image many of these neighbourhoods have: a lot of catalogus-houses and here-and-there an architectural stunt In the masterplan some parts have been allocated for medium scale project developments, and this project is one of them The 12 dwellings are built upon the so-called drive-in principle: you park your car in the house, and live on the first floor photo: Peter Varkevisser Photography Project is not public!

9 photo: DKV en Ammersooiseplein Housing Ammersooiseplein RP Rotterdam Representing the last major urban renewal operation in the Angiesebuurt, an area in the north of Rotterdam, the Ammersooiseplein housing replaces the locally prevailing perimeter block with two parallel volumes, set at right angles to the railway viaduct stabbing through the area The freestanding apartment building has a dual focus In the lowest two levels the dwellings overlook the square; those above look out onto the skyline of the city centre This division of the mass accommodates the scale of the surrounding development, though the white rendering framing the main mass stresses the block's unity Inside the white frame, the façade of set-back external galleries presents a black plan dotted with a capricious pattern of brightly colored front doors The freestanding lift shaft with its visibly moving lift adds a strong vertical thrust to what is predominantly a horizontally composed façade photo: DKV en Project is not public! 1988 DKV en Patrimonium Woningstichting DKV this page is part of Mi guide 'Rotterdam' made by AnneL C, PARIS, France 9

10 photo: Bjorn Utpott photo: Naomi Schiphorst Body House Walhallalaan 3072 Rotterdam A remarkable house for ambitious private clients The task was simple: the design of a row house with the kitchen/dining space as heart in a big living The neighbours houses offered us a void (left) in which we suspended the kitchen (center) The insulated kitchen is connected with plinth and roof (right) To keep the living as empty as possible program like entry, storage, bedroom, master bathroom, etc was put in the plinth The glazed facets in the front are carefully designed Below is the view from the living towards the park nearby Central is the big eye directed onto the panorama of the river High up is the triangle that holds the horizon with a view on the ever developing Rotterdam skyline The flexible roof tent consists of 3x3 parts and can be set up in many configurations, depending on the weather and the use: barbeque, sleeping, reading, etc Project is not public!
