Project • By Mei architects and planners • Student Housing
Sluisbuurt
In Amsterdam East, Mei is designing the first buildings in the development of the Sluisbuurt; a new urban district on the Zeeburgereiland. Commissioned by the DUWO Foundation, Mei will design two unique residential buildings on lot 5A2 and lot 6B2. The buildings will be part of a - for the Netherlands still unprecedented - metropolitan living environment in which high-rise is combined with a lively and dynamic ground level, and meeting and interaction are central. Plot 5A2 and 6B2, which will facilitate housing for students and young people, are located in the heart of the district and will serve as a catalyst for the further development of this green, sustainable neighborhood.

Product • By Artifort • Orange Slice
Orange Slice
The Orange Slice was launched at the Cologne furniture trade fair as the F437 in 1960. Pierre Paulin’s design was immediately a big success. Because demand for the F437 was so great, the Artifort salespeople did not have a showroom model available and they sold the fauteuils with the help of photographs.
