Adaptive reuse

Dit project omvat de aanpassing en uitbreiding van een vlasdorshut die op de erfgoedlijst staat en aan de voet van de Beierse Alpen ligt. Volgens de opdracht van de klant moest de bestaande stenen constructie, die dateert uit de 18e eeuw, worden opgewaardeerd tot een volledig functioneel landhuis. In nauwe samenspraak met de plaatselijke erfgoedautoriteiten werd een strategie ontwikkeld om de oorspronkelijke bouwstructuur zo intact mogelijk te houden en tegelijkertijd aanvullende functies onder te brengen in een nieuw, laag volume dat op het eerste gezicht als een afzonderlijke en autonome constructie wordt gezien. Simone Bossi Simone Bossi Simone Bossi Simone Bossi Oude en nieuwe bouwvolumes worden verbonden door een d... Meer

  Tijdens een uitbreiding in 2002 werd het hoofdkantoor van de firma Beton-Eisack in Klausen aangevuld met een opvallend kantoorgebouw van architect Armin Blasbichler, dat sindsdien op een zwevende manier prominent de ingang van het bedrijfsterrein vormt. Het doel van het huidige project was - 20 jaar later - om functioneel efficiënte en aangename ruimtes te creëren die voldoen aan de veranderde behoeften van het bedrijf en tegelijkertijd een geschikt podium bieden voor het beton dat door het bedrijf wordt ontwikkeld en geproduceerd. Fundamenteel nieuw is een ruimte voor seminars en andere evenementen. Gustav Willeit Gustav Willeit Gustav Willeit   Het gebouw is toegankelijk via een wenteltrap die de in... Meer

Biwak 12 is the conversion of a typical 1980s restaurant located in the mountain village of Moso, in the heart of the Sesto Dolomites, in South Tyrol. In a small village everything revolves around the theme of the mountains: the idea is to create a meeting place where young and experienced mountaineers, local population and tourists can stay together in a relaxed colorful atmosphere. Michael Pezzei Michael Pezzei The design concept borrows the elements of a typical bivouac – specifically, the red alpine hut at the foot of the Croda dei Toni / Cima 12, which forms the pivot of the local mountain panorama - and integrates them into the reconfiguration of spaces. Both exteriors and interiors, therefore, are conceived alluding... Meer

In a working class neigbourhood of Ghent, against the backdrop of nearby blocks of high-rise flats, Robbrecht en Daem converted an existing timber yard into new architectural studios. Filip Dujardin The roof of the shed, built by the wood construction company De Coene in the early seventies, was partially dismantled. What used to be the work floor has become an outdoor space that accommodates an arboretum fringed with wild grasses, a swimming pool, bicycle parking and a large open area for performances and exhibitions. It is a ‘playground’ for artist friends, for partying or resting. Described as a ‘modern “ruin”’ (by Dieter De Clercq, 2010), this open area is ‘a coarse filter between the offi... Meer

In the best museums and galleries one finds one's way through a series of rooms, where the artefacts are carefully lit and set off by calm backgrounds. A degree of repetition helps navigation, some variation helps orientation. Filip Dujardin The proposals for the Whitechapel Art Gallery are bold in their restraint (someone commented: 'where’s the architecture?') and seize a simple but powerful opportunity: lower and upper floors are configured as circuits of rooms, with the stylistically different but volumetrically similar existing galleries linked up by smaller, more domestically scaled gallery spaces. The subtle rhythms and contrasts of the rooms form the backdrop to the wide variety of work on display (historic and contempor... Meer
