The Garden Museum

London

In October 2007, the architects won an architectural competition to redesign the former
Church of St Mary in Lambeth. The competition brief asked for a new gallery space where
temporary exhibitions could be housed in secure and environmentally-controlled condi-
tions. The guiding principle was to create a belvedere within the existing building in order
to house the new galleries and provide a raised ground from which a new perspective of
the existing building is attained. The belvedere structure made it possible to place the
temporary gallery at ground floor level and move the permanent collection from its for-
mer location in the nave to the new first floor level. The Garden Museum is a gardener’s
delight, replete with riotous flowers and stained glass windows.

Jahrhunderthalle Bochum
‘Montagehalle fur Kunst’
Bochum

The Jahrhunderthalle industrial monument is located in the Westpark district of Bochum.

A central event venue was created here for the RuhrTriennale. The planning goal was the
preservation of the overall historical impression in dialogue with new architectural ele-
ments, high quality technical, acoustical and indoor climatic stage equipment and the tech-
nological realization of energy concepts. In order to reactivate the monument as an ‘As-
sembly Hall For Art’ the statics were stabilized by an innovative coupling of the halls with
newly erected flanking building elements. The historical craneways were equipped with
new crane bridges, contributing the decisive precondition for the flexible use of the halls.

Philharmonie
Haarlem

The new music center has a simple, clear-cut and logical layout. The main hall has been
extended lengthwise and the stage has been enlarged. An acoustic that ranks among the
best in Europe has been achieved by deepening the hall, making the balconies into one
continuous whole, and restoring classic ceilings and detailing. The new small concert hall
seems to float, a structure that “hangs” in the foyer. Its rounded forms and the use of
wood lend it an intimate, warm atmosphere. The foyer forms the centerpiece of the build-
ing, connecting old and new and providing cohesion between the different spaces. In ad-
dition to the main hall for symphonic music and the small hall for modern music, three
classical music salons were created.

The North Wall Arts Center

Oxford

Built on the grounds of St Edward’s School, the Center is shared by the school and town.
It houses a flexible 300-seat theater, a rehearsal space, dance studios and an art gallery.
The design unites an ancient stone boundary wall, a Grade 2 listed Victorian former swim-
ming pool and a new building to form a carefully scaled streetscape to the public side and
a new courtyard to the school. The scheme has been envisaged as a linear series of con-
nected “barns” built against the weathered stone boundary wall. Vernacular forms, con-
temporary detailing, and traditional but unfamiliar materials emphasize the building’s
role as a place for innovation and creativity within an historic environment.

Castellanza Civic Library

Castellanza

Part of a more extensive plan to redevelop the area, the new Civic Library is housed inside
an old industrial building facing onto the river Olona. The project leaves the factory struc-
ture exactly as it was: a simple flat-roofed brick body on two floors that has been restored
by bringing out its distinctive elements. The new projecting steel bow windows are the
elements that characterize the new intervention, creating a strong relationship between
inside and outside. They replace preexisting fixtures and are now used for communica-
tion and exhibition purposes or as simple colored light boxes: the windows in fact are
distinguished by a lighting that gradually changes its color.

Consol4
Gelsenkirchen

This project involved the conversion of the historically listed machine hall including the
concrete shaft tower situated on Pit 4 into a music rehearsal center. The central idea was
the revival of the pit as a unit: the shaft tower and machine hall belong together and were
functionally reconnected. 40 solidly constructed 25 square meter music rehearsal rooms
were installed in the machine hall, at a distance from the existing structure. Like an ice
cube floating in a glass, the upper floors of the machine hall glisten behind a green glass
wall. The shaft and the hall are connected by an exterior, expanded metal clad stairway.

Store 8B
Madrid

In the former warehouse 8B the tiles in bad condition have been removed from the roof,
been stacked and been put inside to solve a problem. That is the summary of the interven-
tion. The priority was to replace a roof of flat shingle tiles over boards and a patchwork
of hollow bricks, to structurally reinforce the whole ensemble and to revamp the interior,
thermally and acoustically, so as to provide service to the new users. This procedure had
been followed before in other warehouses in the slaughterhouse with mountains of tile,
timber, cladding and granite slab rubble piling up as a result.

From the very beginning, the architects considered the intervention as an opportunity
to explore the possibilities of refurbishment. In the context of historical legacy the point
was to contribute an experience about the limits of non-intervention, of reducing such
intervention to a bare minimum in a radical posture with a new attitude. In this project,
the traditional insecurity and theoretical vagueness that persistently affects actual inter-
ventions into historical legacy with halfway results between what to do and what not to
do, were absent from the very beginning. The architects decided to choose an idea and to
explore it to the very end, without fear, with no inferiority complexes — to intervene in a
radical manner.

Alveole 14
Saint-Nazaire

The submarine base of Saint-Nazaire is a raw and impressive structure, transformed with
minimal interference. Two of its former cells were turned into cultural elements: LiFE and
VIP. The hall for the international center for emerging art forms (LiFE) is a minimalisti-
cally equipped “Monospace’, situated in a former submarine basin and opened up towards
the harbour. VIP, a “venue for contemporary music”, occupies one of the volumes inside
the bunker. On the roof, a geodesic dome from the Berlin Tempelhof Airport serves as a
“think tank” for art and music projects. A newly defined street with an enigmatic atmo-

This project is a reconstruction of an already existing, but run-down structure. The new
program serves two distinct functions: providing a public area for exhibitions and a pri-
vate area, consisting of lecture rooms and accommodation for invited artists. The design
maintains the entire external perimeter construction. The private areas are volumetrically
defined within the structure and optimized for habitation. The rundown interior has been
totally renewed, allowing it to become the focus point of the building. The social life takes
place in the interstitial space around the new structure, and is characterized by the pro-
grammatic events defined by the newly refursished structure.

With all the annexes removed, the character of the classicistic three-wing complex, built
around 1844, was maintained, and restored to its original form with the courtyard open-
ing up to the park. The complex was augmented with a new, half subterranean building,
the roof of which is reflected as a slightly raised natural stone plateau in the park. An en-
tryway pavilion inserted in the courtyard constitutes the connecting link between old and
new. It ushers the visitor down to the temporary exhibition via an open flight of stairs.
[he space is supplied with daylight by means of traversable skylights. The old structure
is devoted for the most part to the art of Max Ernst, which has its home as a permanent
collection in the main building.

Dance Center
Zagreb

The opening of movieplex cinemas in Zagreb has led to the dying out of old cinema the-
aters in the city. The city of Zagreb decided to reuse those spaces for new cultural facili-
ties. The old Lika cinema was given the role of a dance center in the new scenario. It is
located in a dilapidated block one hundred meters away from Zagreb’s main square. The
entire projects was placed in the old cinema shell. The only new architectural element is
the entrance lobby, a communication and meeting space. The volume and its broken form
suggest dance movement, creating a connection between the courtyard and the roof ter-
race which is an important part of the project of preservation and restoration of Zagreb’s
last open roof stage.

The Maria Helena Ship

Saarbrucken

The theater maker Frank Lion had the idea to turn an old peniche into a theater ship. The
challenge was to retain the character and charm of the old boat while completely changing
its function. The conversion involved minimal changes in the exterior and the basic struc-
ture. Only the mobile corrugated steel plates which covered the stowage were replaced by
a transparent construction and a new access to the theater space was opened in the upper
deck. The old bulkhead walls, which are a striking feature of the interior, were empha-
sized by targeted lighting.

Utrecht

The former police station enjoys the status of a national monument. Situated at the striking
historical location where the medieval city gate once provided access to town, the building ay ee)==]==)===)
is part of the “Museums Quarter”. Municipal policy focuses on reinforcing cultural and
educational functions and providing public access to the cultural heritage of the developed
environment. Thus the police station has been transformed into a center for cinema and
culture, a public meeting place. Accommodation of the program implied a necessary redou-
bling of the floor space within the present boundaries of the lot. A two story and partly
subterranean construction in the present courtyard contributes to this requirement.

Performing Arts Center a

Eveleigh

[This former Carriage Workshop building has been transformed into an innovative center
committed to the conception, development and presentation of performance. The archi-
tect’s adaptive reuse embraces the past of the building whilst providing it with a bold new
future. Three flexible theater spaces, rehearsal rooms, administrative offices, workshop
space and amenities are housed in discrete concrete boxes, clearly articulated in the heri-
tage fabric. The new forms stand free of rows of original cast iron columns, creating cir-
culation routes in the interstitial spaces with views through the building. Linear entryway
structures linking the theater spaces are like “ghosts” of the carriages that once moved
through the building.

Malmo

This new art museum, housed within a former electricity plant, represents a rare opportu-
nity to create a new focal point within the city, changing the urban balance and developing
the surrounding neighborhood. In order to comply with the highest international stan-
dards for displaying art exhibitions, it soon became clear that a building within a building
had to be built, a contemporary addition within the existing shell. This radical reconstruc-
tion provided a challenge as well as the opportunity to create something new. The exten-
sion provides a new entrance with a perforated, orange facade that connects to the existing
brick architecture and introduces a contemporary element to the neighborhood.

Drents Museum
Assen

This new entrance and extension effectively integrate the museum into the fabric of the
city, while a balanced play of building, landscape and water creates a new identity, empha-
sizing both the scenic character and the historic face of the city center. The new exhibition
wing covers 2,000 square meters, all underground. Its staggered, organic roof consists
of a public garden that connects to the existing city parks. The existing coach-house will
serve as the new main entrance. Its historic facade will be left untouched, but the entire
building will be lifted onto a spectacular glass plinth — allowing light to enter the building
at daytime, and highlighting the building with interior lighting at night.

Bread Museum and Ilopolis Mill

[lopolis

This Bread Museum represents the founding stone of the “Route of the Taquari Valley Mills”.
The 100-year-old Ilopolis Mill was condemned to destruction after the miller’s death, but
has been given a neu life by the Bread Museum and Bakery Workshop, and has successful-
ly been reintegrated into the small town’s life. The new constructions were inspired by the
old. The raw pine boards used as formwork for the exposed concrete, irreversibly left their
marks upon the new. Here, museography and architecture arise simultaneously. The first
exhibits are the old Mill itself, then the structure of the new volumes, their urban scale, the
way the light enters, the materials, the timber walkways, the supports for the exhibits and,
last but not least, the pieces on exhibition, collected from the region.

Danish Maritine Museum

Helsingborg

The museum had to find its place in a unique historic and spatial context; between Kron-
borg Castle and a new, ambitious cultural center, while at the same time manifesting itself
as an independent institution. In this context the building will be built as a subterranean
museum around a former dry-dock that will be preserved as an open, outdoor display in
order to maintain the powerful building structure as the core of the Maritime Museum.
This is the basis of the layout of the entire museum. Bridges and ramps structurally and
sculpturally traverse the air space, allowing visitors to penetrate the depth of the room.

Contemporary Jewish Museum

San Francisco

Housed in the abandoned late 19th-century Jessie Street power substation, updated in the
first decade of the 20th century by Willis Polk, and landmarked in 1976, this museum
literally creates visible relationships between new and old, between tradition and innova-
tion, between the past, present and future, bringing together 19th, 20th and 21st century
architecture into one building in the process. The CJM’s design is based on the Hebrew
expression “L’Chaim,” which means “To Life.” The building is based on new spaces created
by the two letters of the chai: the chet provides an overall continuity for the exhibition and
educational spaces, and the yud, with its 36 windows, provides a pedestrian connector.

Danish Jewish Museum

Copenhagen

This museum is dedicated to recording the history of Jewish life in Denmark starting in
the 17th century. Located in one of the oldest parts of Copenhagen, the museum is housed
in a17th century structure, built by King Christian IV. The architects designed the muse-
ums interior space while preserving the original building. Visitors enter an architectural
structure in which the artifacts are seamlessly organized. The entire building has been
conceived as an adventure, both physical and spiritual, in tracing the lineaments that re-
veal the intersection of different histories and aspects of Jewish culture.

The White Rabbit

Singapore

The architects were inspired by traditional British public school dining halls and church
buildings. The primary goal was to retain the simplicity and beauty of the existing space
and restore as many of the details as possible. The solution was to draw a clear line be-
tween the old and new parts of the building by detaching the new elements away from the
existing. The architects chose natural materials such as copper, steel, marble and timber,
which were left as raw as possible to complement the texture of the existing building.
The original ceiling soffit was replaced with identical paneling, the decorative steel win-
dow grilles restored with clear glass added to the openings. The original paintwork was
matched and the mosaic floor cleaned and restored.

Cafe-restaurant OPEN
Amsterdam

OPEN café-restaurant is a pure, transparent, glass volume that fits precisely onto the exist-
ing bridge. It is composed of a floor, a roof and a glazed facade formed entirely by pivotal
windows, all of which can be opened. The pivotal windows add a subtle refinement to
the principle of the purist, modernist box, introducing the quality of elegant, undulating
movement. Two detached green volumes inside contain the kitchen, cloakroom, toilets
and bar. A pleated wooden ribbon meanders along the inside of the glazed facade, consti-
tuting in succession benches, a bar with seating, and railing. A staircase and a lift attached
to the no longer functional brick pillar on the quayside, provide access to an outdoor serv-
ing area on top of it.

The architect has placed the new box lengthways with respect to the building, which is
listed for preservation. There is storage space behind the bar and the entrance to the toi-
lets is located at one end. Next to the building entrance, a staircase rises to the seating area
above. Tables and chairs are grouped along the length of the space as well as above the
bar. The relatively large height of the Meterhuis roof made it possible to create a second
story beneath it. The materials of the box, with its surfaces treated with blackboard paint
and a refreshment bar in stainless steel, contrast with those of the original architecture.
Should the building ever be assigned a different function, the box could be extracted
again without great effort.

Kruisherenhotel
Maastricht

[he renovated monastery of the Crutched Friars is now a design hotel and offers a wealth
of a veritable Gothic exterior with a sleek, modern interior. The complex consists of the
original monastery, as well as a Gothic church, which now houses the reception area, in-
cluding conference rooms, a library and a coffee bar. Many innovative solutions for struc-
tural challenges, like a glass elevator connecting the church to the monastery area, only
confirm the notion that the sobriety of modern style forms a match for a late-medieval
architectural expression of religious virtue. Another feature is the newly installed mez-
zanine which offers a spectacular view through the chancel windows.

Court Hostel

24H architecture developed the reconfiguration of a former courthouse with listed inte-
rior as a design-youth-hotel with 600 beds in the center of London. The main issue was to
design the building access in order to provide guests with orientation. Main corridors are
connected as a ring with sub corridors as wings. Each section has its own language and at-
mosphere to create vertical and horizontal differences. The rooms are designed according
to themes. The internet room, lounge bar and reception are located in monumental former
courtrooms and their design is related to each other with the new functions integrated in
low-tech-looking volumes.

The architects have redesigned an old farmhouse, turning it into an esthetic and culinary
experience. The traditional common room is reborn as an opulent banqueting hall whose
walls and 20 meter-table are bedecked with gold. As its polar opposite, five hotel pavilions
with minimalist glass architecture were built on the adjacent grounds. The construction
of L-shaped steel supports allows for the walls as well as floors and ceilings to be designed
as glass surfaces, hiding the furniture — except for the membrane of the mattress. A medi-
tative space contained by semi-translucent glass shimmering in green is what emerges.

Grand Hotel Casselbergh

Bruges

With its central location and rich history, this site is of major importance to the World
Heritage City of Bruges. Tourism is an important engine of the local economy. The conver-
sion of this building into a hotel with conference facilities will finally, after many years,
remove an eyesore from the Hoogstraat. The project consists of two parts: the renovation
of the three historic buildings and a new development. The modern development replaces
a property of little value built in the 20th century. The new addition to the cityscape of
Bruges is conceived as a bronze treasure chest set with gems. The architectural form of a
box with a chamfered roof can also be found in the Bruge Belfort.

The Tote
Mumbai

A series of disused buildings from Mumbai's colonial past set within the Mumbai Race
Course have been converted into a series of restaurant and bars. The conservation guide-
lines call for the preservation of the roof profile for three-quarters of the buildings and
full conservation for the remaining one-quarter. However the most interesting aspect of
the site lies in the open spaces covered by mature rain trees. These spaces are shaded
throughout the year by the wide spread leaves of the rain trees, allowing almost the entire
program to occur outdoors. The building attempts to continue this idea of a continuously
differentiated space, with no clear boundary, into the envelope of the conservation build-
ing. A new structure within the old building envelope adopts that of a tree-branch.

Stayokay Hostel
Rotterdam

The famous cube-complex by Piet Blom consists of 51 cube-form private dwellings and
three “super cubes”. Two of the super cubes originally housed the “Rotterdam Academy of
Architecture” and have now been redeveloped into a hostel with 49 rooms, all different in
size, atmosphere and view. The slanted faces of the cubes create unusual triangular and
hexagonal floor plans. The complicated, disorienting geometry of the building requires a
new, unambiguous circulation area. Corridors and sky bridges connect the rooms on the
higher levels to a central void. An “interior cube”, an abstract representation of the sur-
rounding cube houses, is hung in the void to mark the central core of the building. A new
elevator runs through the interior cube, enabling the guest to experience the full dimen-
sions of the cubes. At night it is illuminated, making it a huge light sculpture.

Living in a Townhall
Cologne

Despite being planned as early as 1920, this town hall building was finally built in 1957.
However, after the Rhineland Reform in 1972, the building lost its function as town hall
and was later used to serve a number of temporary uses, include providing housing for
asylum seekers. It wasn’t until 2008-2009 that the building was bought and developed to
provide community housing. From the beginning, the project focused on the importance
of preserving the design of the original building. The building’s facade was kept because
of its historical and cultural importance the garden redesigned in the style of a traditional
1950s garden, and the L-shaped administration building was divided vertically to provide
separate housing units.

Former auditorium
Erfurt

The “Alte Horsaal” (Old Auditorium) in a central inner city location was renovated accord-
ing to a conservation standpoint, preserving it as a structurally revamped historical build-
ing. The new division of the window elements creates a unity of construction and design.
Ceilings and walls made of in situ concrete with building component activation installed
in the volume of the former auditorium comprise the space for the new residential use.
Two story rooms with gallery levels retain the multi-story character of the interior. The
newly installed balconies are coordinated from a design as well as construction stand-
point with the existing fall protection, fitting in with the garden facade.

Lant Street
London

The project involved the conversion of the top two floors of a Victorian era clog-making
factory as a home for a filmmaker. It creates a retreat in the city from a busy working
life, a place of reflection which takes advantage of the city views around it. The existing
roof structure was removed and replaced with two habitable steel and timber box girders,
which span the brick walls, establishing a new horizon at roof level. In addition to sup-
porting the new roof, the girders provide an organizational structure, marking out a terri-
tory of enclosure and screening. The space formed inside one girder is a rooftop “thinking
room”, with views over the terrace to the city beyond.

New River Bank Barn

Leesburg

Located on the banks of the Potomac River in Virginia, this renovated historic bank barn
is host to receptions, parties, and festivities for a family and their guests. Originally built
in the late 1800s, Blackburn Architects preserved much of the structure but re-clad it in
SIPs panels and new board-and-batten skin. The existing corncrib was converted into
a sundeck with views of the owners’ horse farm to the west. The north-east facade was
replaced with floor-to-ceiling glass, showcasing panoramic views of the Potomac from
the main floor and loft. The Bank Barn is a recipient of an AIA Merit Award in Historic
Resources and a Southern Living Magazine Home Award in Historic Restoration.

By removing undesirable, angled built-ins, relocating the master bathroom to the top floor
and subtly shifting functions to the perimeter, the architects enhanced the clarity of the
space. In combination with glass rails and walls, the three levels of living are continuously
connected. The addition of an all-glass facade and sliding door system also created an in-
door-outdoor connection between the master bathroom, bedroom and terrace. Low VOC
paints and finishes were used throughout the space. Upgrading the insulative qualities us-
ing low-e, double-paned glass and planting a perimeter of greenery while also upgrading
to a more energy-efficient HVAC system is another key to the design.

Kiln House
Victoria

rhe building is a simple series of new and existing rural forms linked together in a loose
but ordered way to make a house. The idea emerged from the client’s request to design a
retreat house making use of redundant tobacco kilns located amongst a cluster of sheds on
their property. The strategy adopted in converting these kilns to a residential use was to
position them together but apart, linking them via a linear strip of service spaces symboli-
cally reinterpreting the verandah and the lean-to. Each kiln becomes a living space of lofty
tower-like spaces into which one steps. They become ceremonial or contemplative spaces
from which to view the mountains. Between them is a deck, the outdoor room, which al-
lows an interlocking of inside and out.

‘Matthaushof’
Grevenbroich

The architects suggested a residential use for unassisted and assisted living for senior citi-
zens in the former Matthaus Church and the community center of Grevenbroich-Stidstadt.
Construction elements and symbols typical for sacred architecture were removed or fun-
damentally redesigned, so that the high section of the sacral chamber was replaced by a
residential space, while the lower part of the bell tower was used for the sign announcing
the ,Matthaushof“. Two new structures, which strongly recall the design of the church
building, fill up the lot with 32 residential units. A generous community center in the
church building and specially designed open areas were also created for elderly citizens
from the community.

Living and work

in a former bank house
Volkach

After a long period of vacancy the former bank building from the 1960s was revitalized by
converting and refurbishing it. The rear annex was partially removed, making room for
a patio. The broad attic sheathing and brick slip cladding was also removed. The uniform
window formats, with the subdued color of the plaster facade, and the almost flush gut-
ters contribute to the restrained, quiet look of the building. A shell limestone wall stands
between the building and the street and forms a regional link by the selection of the local
material. The existing entryway porch was included in the overall concept. An open stair-
way connects the office spaces on the ground floor and the upper floor.

A timber and glass structure on the rear elevation replaces an unsightly neo-victorian-
conservatory added to the house in the 1980s. On the ground level this creates a recep-
tion room and office area, which benefit from uninterrupted panoramic views of the sur-
rounding countryside. The full height glazing is supported by a series of sections of solid
oak cantilevered off the amended floor slab. At the front of the house, one of the twin
garages has been removed to provide space for a white calacatta limestone kitchen, which
has been relocated from the first floor. The removal of the garage door on the north facade
created an opening in the entrance elevation masonry, which has been glazed to function
as a picture window.

The former grain silo is a simple utilitarian structure which forms a small building ensem-

high tower was an ,aerie“. The silo has a surface area of 9.01 x 12.24 meters and consists
of a 36.5 centimeter thick masonry wall, held together by four reinforced concrete ring
beams. The existing interior wood constructions and the roof were completely removed.
Three new, reinforced concrete ceilings in the upper third of the tower constitute the new
living areas and a rooftop terrace. Access from the ground floor to the roof top terrace is
provided by a new exposed concrete pit with a newel stair and elevator.

Art in the Bunker — Living in tivo

the Tower
Munich

This above ground bunker in Munich was built during World War II. It was converted
into a residential tower in 2005, with six apartments. Two floors were added to the oc-
tagonal, free-standing formerly windowless building which was fitted with a ceiling high
window opening at each of the eight corners. In addition, one meter of the existing 2.40
meter thick walls was cut away from the inside. The two new floors were then glazed on
all sides with the exterior sun protection continuing the shell of the existing building. In
order to disassociate the building from its previous history and introduce the new use,
several events with the motto “Art in the Bunker — Living in the Tower” took place during
the months leading up to the beginning of construction.

The long uninhabited farm house lies in an unusual location with a fabulous view of the
Bern Alps. The stables of the intact, simple and voluminous building were gutted in order
to realize a spatially multilayered living situation. The two story, central living room lives
from the tension in form between the unaltered former living quarters with the great old
fireplace and the space creating, exposed concrete elements. Differentiated interventions
in the facades make way for the insertion of new, restrained glazing and the installation
of windows with heritage listing compatible windows. The sightlines reflect the dialogue
between the interior and the conservation area surroundings.

The Dairy House

The space was pragmatically re-planned for the conversion to a five-bedroom house with
a small pool. Lean-to sheds were removed and an extension added. During the design
process the requirements changed from a rental property to those of a week-end house
for the client. The intervention was to appear as a natural extension of the existing struc-
ture, with an “un-designed” design to combine privacy and seclusion with openness to
the wider landscape. The inspiration was both local, in the stacked timber in the yard op-
posite, and literary, in the 18th century “La Petite Maison — An Architectural Seduction’,
architectural treatise and erotic novella by Jean-Francois de Bastide.

Since this structure as a whole could not be completely removed without being compelled
by the building code to relinquish the greater part of the constructed surface, the ground
floor was only partly removed and the rest of the rather conventional one family house
was transformed into a striking villa. The newly added floor changes the character of the
building, while maintaining the solid foundation. The ground floor, was also completely
rebuilt and furnished with, among other things, a guest apartment. The garden with its
old stock of trees and pool was liberated from the annexes. The clear style displays a
seduded appearence from th street, but offers a high degree of transparency and openness
to the garden.

Originally built as a Telefunken electrical appliance factory in the south-west of Berlin

in the 1930s, the complex looks back on an eventful history. Serving as an American
barracks until the end of the Four-Power status, the extensive buildings are now being
converted into high quality residential space, including an overall design concept for the
grounds. The new structuring of the access road and interior access areas thereby support
the lavish gesture of the complex. Axes of view and symmetry have been consciously ad-
opted. The newly added elements like balconies and stairways lend the prim architecture
a residential touch.

The new apartments are a mix of single story flats and maisonettes, so that the lower
levels enjoy a full view and no two flats are the same. The silo contains staircases and
lifts, and serves the base of a common roof terrace. Around the tower, the apartments
are built up on a steel structure in eye-catching forms, which protrude out into the light
and the landscape. This unusual structure of protrusions and displacements provides all
of the apartments with generous outdoor spaces. The nature of the silo’s “rural high-rise”
is unique and ~ since it is a conversion — no other building in the area can be built to the
same height, guaranteeing its status as a free-standing landmark.

In a former sewage treatment plant that was converted into a residential building with
seven apartments in 1999 by De Architectengroep, a penthouse has recently been extend-
ed by an extraordinary roof terrace — including a pavilion — called DJ’s Garden. By utiliz-
ing the entire roof area, the living space has been doubled. The pavilion has the character
of a full-fledged room with garden view and can be used in many different ways, from
its vantage point in the middle of a “green roof” with plants, mosses, sedums and a pond.
Thereby the necessity of the gravel roof of DJ’s Garden has been turned into a delightful
roof garden with a flexible and sheltered outdoor area.

massing and elevations conceptually weave the new with the old, recalling the legacy of

the original building while clearly remaining contemporary. On the main Kingston Street
facade, the massing is broken into twin volumes reinforcing the symmetry of the new

fleur-de-lis symbolizes the fleur-de-lis symbols in the original building.

The project is the sum of two parallel realities: the existing structure with its acquired
character, and the new programmatic interventions inserted into it like furniture. Where
new elements meet existing structure, the distinction is minimal, legible and discrete:
steel plate insertions in the lobby stand in distinction to the glazed white brick to form
bridges and stairs. In the living units, cores clad in birch plywood are inserted into the
existing shell to minimally convert the building to its new use; in public areas, insertions
of cold-rolled steel plate and glass form bridges and stairs. Laminated glass floor panels in
the ceiling above borrow light from the skylights on the second floor roof.

Bunker
Cologne

By adding a penthouse and a new building, this above ground bunker was transformed
into 17 apartments in an urban, protected ensemble. The lofts received two story atri-
ums, several levels with open spaces and as galleries, by making 1.10 meter incisions
in the concrete walls. Living, working or flexible use spaces flow into each other, with
wide openings connecting gardens and terraces. Using a gloomy above ground bunker in
an economically profitable way for innovative spatial ideas shows how a piece of urban
wasteland can be transformed. The advantage of the row house is combined with that of
dense urban construction.

Atelier PRO was alarmed by the prospect of the demolition of this beautiful building set
about designing a housing complex for it. The interior of the church became the enclosed
court of a residential block. The apartments extended along the former facade and out-
wards. The materials of the church facade were turned to face inwards, reversing the in-
side and outside. The roof was removed and the sacristy is now a play area on the plaza,
with the church floor becoming the surface of the plaza. The apartments are unusual,
beeing narrow and deep, separated from one another by a greenhouse, four meters wide.
The perimeter wall can be seen through the greenhouses and the footprint of the church
can still be seen.

The historically listed complex was converted into 14 apartments, with the total area ex-
panded by one fourth. The entire hexagonally arranged facility is built on the principle
of the equilateral triangle, creating room layouts with either acute or obtuse angles. The
dramatic effect of the steeply ascending chapel and library towers is emphasized by the
low roof of the adjoining building. Golden sheet metal cladding on the extensions to the
original building provides a contrast to the extensive restoration of the exposed con-
crete surfaces. The library tower was outfitted with large windows, providing the over
500 square meter large apartment with an expansive view and much daylight.

Grain silo
Olomouc

The project involved the transformation of a grain silo into a residential house. As the
original building was never intended as a place of residences, the renovation necessitated
some structural changes to the original structure. Using the lift that broke the perspective,
the architects proposed a functional design of a house consisting of separate spaces which
are connected in a “non-perspective” fashion with a separation of the relationship between
time and space. The passage from one space to another is limited by the lift to opening and
closing the same lift door. Each of the spaces (entrance space, garden, residential space and
private space) are designed differently and the differences between them are more impor-
tant than the characteristics of these spaces per se.

Tikkurila Silk Mill

Vantaa

The industrial milieu of the Silk Mill in Tikkurila is one of the listed environments in the
City of Vantaa. The mill was built in stages between 1934 and 1964. Production in the mill
ended in 1977 and since then the buildings have been occupied by various businesses and
organizations. Renor Oy, the owner of the mill’s premises is now converting the property
into loft-type apartments developed around the shell and core principle. The residents
themselves are left the possibility to organize their own living spaces according to their
needs and wishes. Some of the original buildings have to be replaced. The new develop-
ment will be carried out according to the same loft model, adapting the new buildings into
the old factory milieu.

Silos Apartments
Newtown

The Crago Mill concrete silos and complex of tall timber storage bins were originally
used for the storage of grain. This project converts these structures into residential apart-
ments, with associated open space, while retaining the industrial qualities, scale and
aesthetics of the existing complex. The existing ground-level bases of the historic silos
and bins have architecturally impressive timber and concrete structural forms, and have
been designed as the two main foyers. As the top of the silos, a new three-story metal-
clad ‘crown’ provides space for a penthouse. The Silos Apartments take advantage of
the circular plan forms to create unusual but rational room shapes, reconciling southern
views with northern sunlight access.

Nearly all the original floor finishes, including bathroom terrazzo, concrete vaults and

steel-clad columns, exposed brick interior walls and bronze windows retain vital esthetic
attributes of the lofts. On the exterior, the original gas sconces were restored as elegant
sentinels alongside the three historic entrances. The three street-facing loading docks with
brick paving provide a dramatic setting for the restaurant and bar. Seven annex loading
docks were transformed into three-story townhouse style lofts with ground level patios
overlooking a newly created urban pocket park.

Carré at Dolderse Hille

Den Dolder

The exclusive residential area of Dolders Hille rises from the wooded area of Utrecht
Hill, near Den Dolder. This area, still partly in use by Altrecht as a hospital for psychi-
atric healthcare is surrounded by nature and beautiful, historic buildings. The pavilions
were designed by the architects Poggenbeek and Mertens in the early 20th century. The
approach chosen for the redevelopment takes into account future development, in line
with the historical structure. A careful attitude preserving the historical nature of the site
makes it possible to live truly surrounded by nature in the monumental Carré. In addition
to the natural surroundings, the nine houses have a beautiful view over the courtyard.

Senior residence
Carl-Fried Haus
Cologne

Because of the central location in Cologne and the intact and statically flexible basic build-
ing structure the decision was made in favor of a radical conversion of the existing stock
to a residence for senior citizens with care units and a parking garage. The original high
quality street facades made of natural stone were carefully refurbished. The access and
use structure of the four building components was completely rethought so that most of
the almost 100 apartments were oriented to the courtyard, with the communicative access
hallways serving as a natural shield to the traffic axes. The new use is shown in the play
of color of the hallways through the perforated facade of the original building.

A slender new structure augments the existing building on an island on the Neckar River.
The annex is equipped with the same brick shell as the warehouse, underscoring its stand-

Special emphasis was placed maintaining the characteristic atmosphere in the refurbish-
ing of this former industrial hall. The brick fagades were restored and the reveals were
reconstructed. All constructive elements in the building interior were cleaned entirely,
but not plastered, in order to retain the raw industrial character. The loft character was
enhanced by an additional light admitting gable. A glass wall installed on the entryway
side provides a view of the central greened atrium. The material composition of concrete,
stone, brick and glass apportioned with green area produces a virtuoso accord with the
established showrooms.

The refurbishing of the historically listed Wilhelminian Ulanen barracks was conducted

and annexes. The former soldiers’ quarters, the latrine and the Verheiratetenhaus (quar-
ters for married soldiers) were retained and repaired. On the site of the demolished struc-
ture a new five story, mainly brick building was erected, which joins the existing build-
ing and the new construction in an ensemble. The green area was protected and like the
former drill grounds was resurrected as a public campus. The so-called ,embassy of ideas“

The district offices are located in a building with a stepped gable on the south side that
mediates between the different heights of the complex. The new facades are made partly
of brick and partly of stone. Four original facades of buildings from the gasworks have
been retained on the south side. Two of the original plant buildings have been restored to
accommodate the art library. The community school is located in a new building with an
entirely different syntax of long, horizontal bands of windows and an arched entrance.
The transition between public and private spaces in the complex is seamless. The building

The architects’-mixed-use office and housing building is part of an initiative to preserve

and reuse the industrial heritage of the southern quarters of Le Havre. Through its scale,
rhythm, shape and materials, the project forms an integral part of a re-envisioned harbor
landscape. A 19th century brick warehouse, or alvéole, was conserved and incorporated
into the project to house the office space required in the programme. The warehouse’s sil-
houette and scale subsequently inspired the module that was repeated for the housing por-
tion of the project. The use of modules allowed for a prefabricated construction system.

Ernst-Reuter-Haus
Berlin

Begun in the 1940s, the neo-classical three wing complex was finally completed in 1956
as the seat of the German Association of Cities and Towns. After 50 years full of change
the intention was to adapt the building with its natural stone facade and spacious interior
rooms for contemporary use by means of individual targeted measures, thereby allowing
its atmospheric potential to unfold. With these contemporary interventions the structural
forms of the 1940s could be harmonized with the interior decoration of the 1950s. Ad-
ditional space was gained with extensions on the third floor and the attic as well as the
construction of another floor in the rear.

location in this new district together with private functions. The project recoup the most
important factory buildings, concentrates the library and the art and music academy on
the industrial site, giving the new single family homes and apartment buildings a strategic
loc sation on the site and rethinkingé the design of the public space. The project functions as

Renovation of Rahova
Commodities Exchange
Bucharest

The new functions the house needed were based on great flexibility and a general trans-
parency. The architects therefore chose to restore the valuable part of the building and to
rebuild the rest with a completely new concept, in stark contrast with the existing situation
— exactly the kind of approach that is lacking in Bucharest. This former goods exchange
building was the most prominent part of the Customs —- Goods Exchange — Warehouses
ensemble. The architects restored the long vacant building to its nostalgic charm, framing
it with a modern environment, using the candid and simple beauty of technology.

The Hangar
Eindhoven

Two volumes which were slid into the building were added to the characteristic airplane
hangar. A large part of the hangar has been kept empty which allows space for a covered
square, that also functions as the entrance to the complex. A central corridor, also covered
by the hangar, connects the square to a playground that opens towards the ecological
green zone. The corridor is enclosed on one side by a colorful, transparent volume that
houses a community center with library. A volume situated partially in the ground lies on
the other side, with a playground on the roof. It houses a sports center and a gathering
space. The buildings are connected by way of an underground volume.

Lamot
Mechelen

The Lamot brewery has been subject to a continuous process of extension and demolition,
a process where redundant parts are torn down without emotion and the required infra-
structures are simply added. During the process the architects eagerly learned from this
logic, re-employing it for the future development of Lamot, a mixture of congress facilities
and cultural amenities. Converting this awkward giant into a public building brought to
the fore new standards of accessibility, orientation, light and views. It entails a surgical
operation on an urban scale. Slitting open the building’s first floor is a calculated implo-
sion, leaving no doubt as to the future ambition of Lamot.

FP3
/ | Original building

Boston

FP3 is the adaptive reuse of two historic structures, a new rooftop addition and an infill
building in the historic Fort Point Channel district. Prompted by the desire to preserve the
original structures, a careful search for architectural cues and rhythms resulted in a new
structural steel structure woven through the original heavy timber structure to support
the new three story rooftop addition. By retaining most of the heavy timber structure,
less new material was required to construct the project, less waste was generated and the
original buildings are more truly preserved to continue as vital, purposeful pieces of the
urban fabric. The timbers that were removed were re-milled and used as cladding in the
new lobby space.

The Village Office

Houten

The Samas European headquarters completed in 2006 is an unusual conversion of an

unmarketable concrete complex into a modern office building. The typical 1980s style
concrete structure underwent an astounding metamorphosis by means of targeted inter-
ventions into the statics. The formerly dark showroom was transformed in just one year
into an airy, friendly and open working environment. In spite of the fact that the existing
structure was for the most part maintained, the building gained in coherence by empha-
sizing spatial quality. The newly added central patio is a fulcrum of this reorganization.
New, large roof openings, relatively few partitions and new vantage points create a new
impression of spatial transparency.

Ford Ching
Los Angeles

Ford Ching was built as a vaudeville theater in the 1920s, was then used as a Chinese
language cinema in the 1940s, and has now been converted into 1,200 square meter lofts
and neighborhood retail spaces serving the emergent art scene in Chinatown. The leasable
space along North Figueroa Road was enlarged while preserving the integrity of the local
landmark. The remodeled theater has been used for two lofts lit by a new interior court-
yard. The new layer alternates with the previous uses and forms, keeping the old layers as
background. The exterior with its neon marquee has been restored while the art gallery
and fashion gallery reuses on North Figueroa bring new life to the complex.

Fuller Lofts
Los Angeles

Consisting of 102 units of affordable and market-rate lofts along with 1,440 square meters
of commercial space, the program adds two stories of penthouse lofts above the original
four-story structure, as well as a directly adjacent new two-story parking structure. Lo-
cated conveniently near to a station on a recently constructed light-rail line, the Fuller
Lofts was the first transit-oriented development begun in the area, and has spurred the
revitalization of Lincoln Heights. The original neo-classical facade is preserved — along
with the elegant, formal lobby - and is crowned by a striking steel-clad facade wrapping
the addition on the upper floors. Inside, an atrium courtyard was cut into the structure,
bringing light and air into the center of the building.

A concrete barn in scenic Sonoma County is completely transformed by inserting a new

building inside its heavy walls. The new structure uses frameless glass walls to create
light-filled interior spaces, while large cuts in the existing walls frame views of the sur-
rounding vineyards. The mixed-use building accommodates work and living units, arts-
related offices and other leased spaces. A new plinth, raised above the floodplain of the
Russian River, anchors the building and provides panoramic views over the landscape. At
the southeast corner of the building a nearly flush reflecting pool dissolves the border be-
tween indoors and outdoors, creating a feeling of a seamless plane connecting the interior
aluminum flooring and the landscape beyond.

The Green Building

Louisville

The project resuscitates the structural masonry shell of the old store and implants a mod-
ern core, including a twelf meter high lobby. The building’s original mortar joint facade
remained intact while the 1980s storefront was replaced by an angled, recessed wood
and aluminum facade that steps back visually, drawing in visitors towards the entryway.
Though the space is long and narrow, natural light and outdoor views flood the interior
through an ascending glass spine that bridges all three floors and breaks the roof into
three planes. The spine cascades down the backside of the space, providing views to the
green roof below. Today, the four story structure houses a street side cafe, The Green
Building Gallery, and an event and office space.

Den Bosch

This typical example of traditional Delft School architecture was designed by the architect
C.H. de Bever. With its sloping roofs, turrets and clock towers, the building resembles an
abstract castle. It was decided to weave the original component and the extension into a
single complex, slotting the old building logically into the whole. A special feature is the
meeting room suite with restaurant housed in the old building. Its inner court is trans-
formed into a glass-roofed atrium to serve as a foyer for the surrounding meeting rooms.
The result is a supremely compact and harmonious whole under one roof, with no distinc-
tion between old and new, between the meeting rooms and the office floors.

rhis residential house has been renovated and converted into an architectural office. A
concrete strip combining various functions is the striking architectural element. Starting
out as company label it evolves into a red carpet for all visitors before folding into the
stair entrance and finally serving as canopy. Both facade and roof are clad in larch wood,
giving the building a uniform appearance. The rearrangement of some windows allows
unusual, specific views of the surroundings. Various recesses within the white plastered
walls expose the original plaster almost like wall paintings. By the innovative use of tra-
ditional materials and detail solutions a 50-year-old house has been turned into a modern
architectural office.

This former printing facility offered the advertising agency the deep and narrow lots
running to the street that are typical of the Wasserburg area. A virtue was wrested from
necessity by locating the unlit photo studio and cutting more space into in the deep parts
of the building. The rest of the space provides room for 12-14 work places, two separate
offices for the managers, a conference room and the obligatory small kitchen and sanitary
facilities. The windows were retained in the context of the heritage-listed old town area.

St. Petersburg

A dilapidated factory building once stood at the former location of the house of the Rus-
sian artist Aleksandr Benois, on the boundary between the garden of the Kuschelev-Bes-
borodko mansion and the Piskarevski-Prospekt today. This building was converted into a
multi-purpose business center. The design of the new building is devoted to Benois’ stage
designs, which made Russian art and theater known internationally. The digital copies on
the glass panels of the front facade are based on Benois’ theater costume sketches. The
panels are mounted in an aluminum mullion transom construction, which covers the en-
tire facade as a substructure.

After removing the pipelines the raw exterior of the water tower was covered inside with
insulation and a cladding of girder plaster tiles, thus retaining the characteristic raw con-
crete facade. The solid concrete girders and supports support a gallery freely hung in the
space. Due to this suspended construction the proportions of the space of 10 x 12 meters
and a room height of 5.5 meters are unaffected. The gallery is surrounded by the air space,
creating a room within a room. Indirect lighting designed especially for this space empha-
sizes the spatial effect of the construction. A construction of untreated steel provides the
outside access to the elevated ground floor level.

Pionen —- White mountain

Stockholm

“Pionen” is situated in an amazing location 30 meters beneath the granite rock of the Vita
Berg Park in Stockholm. The internet provider found in the rock shelters a new home for its
server halls and offices. The starting point of the project was to consider the rock as a living
organism. The humans try to acclimate themselves to this alien world and extract the “best”
elements from earth: light, plants, water and technology. The architects created strong con-
trasts between rooms where the dominated by rocks, where the human being is a stranger,
in contrast to rooms where the human being takes over totally. The main room is not a tra-
ditional space, limited by surfaces but instead is defined by the emptiness inside a mass.

This film production facility inhabits two 1940s masonry warehouse bays, separated by
a bearing wall that allowed very limited open access between the spaces. The architects’
assignment was to design a dynamic work environment with administrative and technical
wings that include offices, workshops, editing rooms, equipment cage and long sight lines
for camera staging. A circular conference room that becomes the vortex of the environ-
ment was also introduced. It straddles the central dividing wall and propels into motion a
series of ripples whose trajectories penetrate and diminish the separation while establish-
ing auxiliary spaces for informal gathering.

Office Van Alckmaer voor Wonen

Alkmaar

lhe housing organization “Van Alckmaer voor Wonen’” occupies a new office in the center
of Alkmaar in the former 7) “Stadtstimmerwerf”, with a history going back to 1600. In 2003
the office and the organization were transformed , so Klous + Brandjes Architecten used
the analysis of the organization and the building history as the basic principle for the
design of the office. This resulted in the removal of obscure annexes and the restoration
of the U-shaped head structure. The organization needed a larger floor area than the old
building could provide, so a new development was required. This resulted in a diamond
shaped volume that responds to and contrasts with the environment while imperceptibly
connecting the old with the new.

meters and a width of 8.7 meters, and was saved from demolition in 1997. The new con
struction assembledon top of this old concrete base is the same 270 meters long, with a
width of 13.8 meters, accentuating the length of Kraanspoor and the expansive view of

Maison de |’Architecture
Paris

The current building displays vestiges of strata laid down at different points in the past.
The architects proposed that the form of the operation be carried out on the existing
building in such a way as to be easily legible foreveryone, as a logical consequence of the
history of the site. They have drawn on features of religious architecture for references,
and propose to punctuate the space using a series of ‘patches’ integrating all the compo-
nents that ensure the ‘Maison de l’Architecture’ will be a veritable architectural tool. In
order to create overall coherence, they chose to work with one single material, corten
steel,
which has a chronological dimension and is informed by the history of the location.

Ilhavo

Of the original building, only the main facade and the chapel, both in ruins, were
left.
The preliminary program specified building three autonomous nuclei: library,
chapel
and youth forum. The limits of the manor and the line of the old facade were chosen
as
an anchorage point, where administrative areas and areas compatible with the facade’s
rhythm were placed. The design of the reading rooms and youth forum, establishes
direct
morphological relations with the surroundings, thus creating architectural closure
in a
context that incorporates the physiognomy and traces of the surroundings. The
chapel,
deprived of its most important decorative elements, like tiles, woodwork, tomb stones
and
furniture, was restored.

Siobhan Davies Company > | Rehearsal studio

London

The Siobhan Davies Company found their perfect potential headquarters in Southwark,
south London, in a former school annex which had exactly the same footprint as a stan-
dard performance space. Extensive remodeling and conversion made it a suitable home
for this leading contemporary dance company. The central core was stripped out at the
ground and first-floor levels to create a double-height space which becomes the
heart of
the building, linking & organizing occupied spaces with the central circulation zone pro-
viding additional space for functions. To accommodate the new 5 meter high studio, the
only location possible was at roof level. The existing roofs were removed and a new
room
was built within the ruins of the existing structure.

LOREAL Academy
Kiev

After completing the new head office at the same building, LOREAL invested 2008 with
a rather small budget into its first hair dressing academy within Ukraine. Since the prem-
ises was rather small, a flexible use of space was key to transform the academy for master
classes, lectures and shows for up to 200 people. Movable glass and mirror walls, integrat-
ed light box elements, product displays and presentation screens are part of a flexible and
creative environment. In order to maintain the original industrial spirit of the building,
the architects exposed the concrete structure and used slick and shiny materials such
as
glass, mirrors and painted MDF in contrast. The colors black and white create a minimal-
istic but very distinctive world of beauty and cosmetic.

Bath

Thermae Bath Spa marks the revitalization of the city’s spa quarter. The spa complex com-
prises one new building — the New Royal Bath — and the sensitive restoration and adaption
of another five Grade 1 and 2 listed buildings. Requirements for the new spa facility and
listed building parameters have inevitably lead to a very closely integrated design with a
direct and intimate interplay between new and old. The difference in levels between exist-
ing buildings has been carefully resolved with the use of split level planning and the clear
articulation of the connecting spaces as transparent bridge links which open up vistas
along, across and through the complex.

[he restored building contains the administrative and academic activities, with the new
tower providing the required archive space. While the original buildings have been re-
stored using contemporary construction methods, the Gothic windows and the scale of
the rooms have been respected in order to evoke the character of the former Palace. The
crypt is composed of six ribbed vaults in which the simplicity of the ribs gives rise to
a
severe space with the light entering through six windows as a powerful break in the wall.
This impressive piece of Gothic architecture that has survived in its original condition
now serves as an exhibit space with glass display cases and natural light where the
public

MTV Networks Benelux

Amsterdam

In 2007 the carpentry workshop on the former NDSM shipyard was transformed into the
bustling headquarters of MTV Networks Benelux. The 1927 monument was to be
fused
with today's high tech world. Inside the stripped hall a detached concrete frame consisting
of four layers is placed with a new thermal wall, about one meter behind the existing ma-
sonry and single glass walls. One half of the new building contains the recording studio
with the directors’ offices on top, between the roof structure and skylights. The other half
contains the various business units, on four floors around the entrance hall with a large
void. The cantilevered glass restaurant gives the building a new front to the river IJ.

In accordance to its 18th century ambiance a manor was converted to a new use as train-
ing center for restorers and cabinet makers. Personnel and training rooms were located
in the old manor house. A new workshop where the hands-on training takes place was
erected in the courtyard. The facade and roof of the hall constitute a continuous
building
envelope, which opens up in glass to the weather sheltered area in the front, the court-
yard and the old building. A workshop on two levels, consisting of a machine shop on the
ground floor and work room on the upper floor, is located beneath the hall. The sightlines
allow for unencumbered communication and offer views into the courtyard from
all work
areas. The street side facade is for the most part closed to protect against noise.

The 1922 building did service as a transformer station, substation and illumination labo-
ratory for street lighting. With its classicistic facade the building fits in well in the neigh-
borhood of wealthy homes. Purchased by a Jewish foundation in 2004, the building was
placed at the disposal of the orthodox Jewish “Chabad Lubawitsch” organization. The
exterior was retained to a great extent, except for the addition of a prestigious portal
opening up to the street. The orthodox synagogue was built in the former transformer hall
with a traditional ritual bath (mikvah) located in the cellar. In addition there are rooms
for
seminars and childrens’ services, a library, café and ballroom with kosher kitchen for the
community members and visitors.

The goal of the project was to provide space for non-ecclesiastical use
in a church build-
ing which had become too large for the shrinking parish, in order to bring
life into the
building during times when services are not being held. The entry area of
the church was
spatially detached from the nave. A non-ecclesiastical area was created
with a central
meeting zone, an adjoining parish office and separate conference
rooms. The glass vesti-
bule is placed in slices in the space as a four-wing door installation, followed
immediately
by the central access to the church. Glass partitions seal off the
parish office from the
sacral chamber and the meeting area. A new window creates mutual
between the inside
and outside and a source of natural light.

The main volume of the building, triangular in plan, is elevated

some fifteen meters above
the river and the ground level with the pedestrian esplanade. It is
supported solely by the
central core, which contains two elevator shafts and a double spiral
staircase. The concrete
floor-slab and ceiling shell are not connected at the perimeter of the
building, allowing for
the continuity of the glass facade to the full extent. An uninterrupted
glass strip, with a
total length of 150 meters, is wrapped around the building. The ceiling
design consists of
a sequence of geometric transformations and subdivisions applied
to the original grid. As
a result, approximately 390 backlit panels with the finite variation
in shape and size are
suspended from the triangular steel construction.

Children’s Toy Library

Bonneuil sur Marne

This design of a children’s toy library resulted from an approac

h that aimed to simultane-
ously resolve a number of problems and develop new ideas. The
library makes use of an ex-
isting building to create a children’s play area. In spite of the difficult
ies of a very restricted
budget, a small-scale public facility was created to give an identity
to a socially unstable
area, occupied by large housing complexes. The architects decided
to design a building
with no sense of scale, one which would appear timeless, a dense solid mass, an urban
symbol, standing out from its environment as a shell protecting its
contents. The result is a
volume with a bunker-like appearance, reminiscent of a vernacul
ar construction.

designed by Mario
Cavalle in the 1940s, is an adapt environment to host the activities of the company.
At the
bastard store it is possible to create, develop, produce, communicate and
test bastard prod-
ucts. All the new elements have been inserted within the existing building
as an indepen-
dent construction and put in continuous physical and visual communic
ation with each
other. New elements are clearly distinguished from the existing building
structure with
their materials, geometries and level of detail constituting a newly added
discrete layer.

Licantén Public Library

Licantén

In spite of its condition of abandonment and deterioration, the metal shop has its place
in the history of Licantén. Through the incorporation of a new program and in keeping
certain essential elements of the existing building, the proposal is to recover the building
and give it anew meaning. It has been considered essential, as part of the recovery opera-
tion of the building, to preserve the main space of the old metal shop in addition
to its
exterior volume. Based on this idea, the proposal preserves the height of the space and
its
lighting conditions, and transforms it into the main reading room of the new library.
The
idea that is addressed with the incorporation of the two new volumes is to form a
single
new unified space.

On behalf of the SIB, NL Leipzig II Ipro Dresden was commissioned to

undertake the ar-
chitectural planning for the renovation of the building facades and the
installation of the
central workshops for the restoration of archive and library assets
(ZErAB) that were com-
patible with the existing building substance. The exterior walls and
facades were restored
on the castle courtyard site in the style of the 18th century. Historical
colors were tested
on sample grids. Windows and doors were recreated according to
the Baroque model and
outfitted with the necessary technical equipment. The planned archive

quired the installation of the most demanding restoration technolog
y while maintaining

The architects believe that sustainability is not only dependant

on the implementation of
new technologies, but has to start with making conscious
decisions in terms of orienta-
tion and organization. The building was part of a complex
originally build as a education-
al facility for the crafts trades. In collaboration with the end-user
s the architects selected
the part that was most suitable for the specific function. The
building itself consists of
two layers. With a loading area on the ground floor and offices
on the first floor. This
distinction is reflected in the use of materials and details. Re-using
the existing structure
it has been possible to transform the former machine shops
into a landscaped office with
a transparent but friendly atmosphere.

Library of Special Collection

Amsterdam

This complex includes the University Museum and the Special Collections belonging to
the university library. The crux of the plan is an “interior street” which gives the complex
a new main structure. This feature endows the cluttered rear of the buildings on the side
of the Binnengasthuis grounds with an ambience worthy of a traditional court. The solar
court doubles as a glass case for displaying the obliquely placed back section of the build-
ing — a physical reminder of the site’s medieval land division. The narrow old gateway, the
Gasthuishofpoort, has become the new, architecturally spruced up, entrance with a tall,
narrow light court topped off with a glass roof.

The film editing profession requires small, dark environments free from distraction and
light reflection. Yet, a film editing company must exist in a stimulating, socially interac-
tive workspace. Within a rough 1940s warehouse, the architects created discrete environ-
ments with gradients of privacy. Hovering over a large, placid reflecting pool, the central
design elements are the two oblong curvilinear boxes, which enclose the editing studios
and offices. Facing the lobby, the ends present luminous textured facades, filled respec-
tively with ping-pong balls and acrylic beads. Bathing the rooms in softly diffused light,
they afford the users privacy and minimize distractions. The design creates a delicate bal-
ance between flow and calm focus.

light and air to pass through new, hidden windows. The original fenestration of the build-
ing’s north facade was preserved and refurbished. The existing timber and concrete frame
was carefully sandblasted to reveal the warmth and texture of the original materials. As
day turns to evening, the perforations in the new skin reveal the historic interior.

Delft

Durability through transformation was the idea behind the DOK Delft, a multi-media cen-
ter, that merges the former Disco Take, the Public Library of Delft and the Art Center
Delft housed in the completely renovated Hoogovenpand. The ultra-modern final result is
characterized by colorand light, caused by the sharp contrast between contemporary and
traditional materials, as well as the different atmospheres, which simultaneously form a
inextricable unity. Liesbeth van der Pol, the architect, and Aat Vos, the interior architect,
joined forces in a unique form of co-operation, in which both decided to cede to each other
part of their assignments. They not only adapted the 1970s building for the new use but
made this modern usage visible as well.

SAC Federal Credit Union 1 1Odsal aint

Ames Branch
Omaha

Located in Omaha, the original 465 square meter Hollywood Video Store, abandoned for
over two years, was converted into a fully functional credit union branch. It was impor-
tant to the client that the building encourages growth within the community through
a functional and sustainable transformation. The decision was made to create a drive-
thru within the existing space. A walkway was created for pedestrians and a corner of
the structure was removed to provide a covered entrance. The primary cladding of the
building is a 100 % natural exterior poplar siding that forms spaces within. The poplar
was thermally modified, providing a maintenance-free exterior that is resistant to mold,
insects, and deterioration.
