NN Kralingen

The project forms the border of the Kralingen East district in Rotterdam. As a result of careful urban integration, a connection is made with the structure of the existing neighborhood, whilst creating space to continue the nearby green structure of the ring canal along the water. The ribbon development on the east side also acts as a buffer against the noise of the nearby highway for the neighborhood behind. Sebastian van Damme Sebastian van Damme Sebastian van Damme Sebastian van Damme The chosen parking solution has been a leading factor for the urban design and clearly demonstrates the two-sided characteristic of the site.

Housing project in Ibiza by 08014 makes use of earth-filled clay walls for thermal mass

From orthopedic practice to modern home

The house, formerly used as an orthopedic practice, has been transformed into the dream home of the clients, the Roman family.

A harmonious blend of two distinct styles that perfectly suit the residence.

Snow Hill Wharf

This development has regenerated an under-utilised, contaminated brownfield site, and brings life to the city’s ‘inner ring’ of former employment land. Once the centre of the world’s gun manufacturing industry, Birmingham’s Gun Quarter was identified as an area of opportunity following its 20th Century decline, when a large part was demolished by post-war town planners. The key site issues were the detached location from the city centre, a lack of public spaces, poor quality walking routes, and industrial warehouses with no active frontages. The canal shortcomings included poor lighting, towpath access, and buildings which turn their backs on the watercourse.  The site is located opposite St Chads, the cit... More
