Indoor swimming pool

Our design for swim complex De Slag makes sports, health, and nature visible throughout. We implemented a low-tech spatial strategy that works for both place and people. It promotes a healthy lifestyle and social relationships through better and more sustainable development, landscaping, and architecture. B1 Desgin Local ecosystemDe Slag is firmly rooted, in Zaandam, in the surrounding park in the local community. First, the complexes’ silhouette is defined by the well-known Zaandam sloping roofs. Then, as a welcoming gesture to passers-by, we added conservatories on the sunny south and west façades to envelop the entrance and the restaurant. These glass domes allow for a peek over the pools and soften the transition betw... More

On the edge of Ypres’ historic ramparts, the new Aquatic Centre is taking shape. The design draws inspiration from this historic context, with a series of powerful volumes that reflect the building’s functions. This new pool marks the start of the sustainable transformation of the existing sports site, becoming the future heart of sports in Ypres. Towards a connected sports siteJust outside the Rijselpoort lies the Ypres sports complex, a classic example of urban sports development.

The result was a collection of various sports buildings and facilities, each with its own parking lot. The new swimming pool is part of a masterp... More

A necessary endeavor: challenge children to exercise and learn at the same time. In stimulating a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle for all, we design clustered educational, sportive, and societal functions in one circular complex: KINEO. Sharing with all stakeholders a foundational belief in mutually reinforcing motor and cognitive skills, we spatially translated this educational philosophy for KC Noord and De Tweesprong. Prime attraction: a public roofscape that invites to climb and run, to perform and play. Social heart of townThe new school- and sports facilities are deliberately concentrated in Roelofarendsveen’s centre to be part of the community’s day-to-day routine. Furthermore, it’s a prominent venue alon... More

The design concept is driven by the dialectic relationships forming the triptych of nature, memory, and form. At the core of this project’s approach lies the olive tree as a compositional center of gravity, while its enveloping volumes – which allure to these of a traditional olive press factory – set an earthy scene. Solids and voids frame the sacred tree in diverse ways, accentuating the building’s spatial experience. Yiorgis Yerolymbos Yiorgis Yerolymbos Stone, mud, render, and wood are intertwined in a powerful narrative sequence and follow a distinct formal articulation, pushing the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship. The buildings’ formal structure aims to create varied spaces – whet... More

The new swimming pool turns Sports Complex Lokeren into a logical ensemble. The building is positioned in such a way that the existing trees along the Sportlaan remain and guide the route to the swimming pool. With a clear entrance that guides visitors to the heart of the complex in a natural way. The pool itself looks modest on purpose. As a result of the fully transparent plinth, daylight can generously enter and social control is optimized. Besides, it allows for passers-by to see the swimmers inside the complex – and even the landscape on the other side of the water is visible. With the natural wooden roof construction, visible on the inside, and the application of burnt wood in the facades, the building is in harmony with the sur... More

The volume of the building, compact towards the city and open with great windows towards the internal park, underlines the dialogue between interior and exterior. The east and west walls, entirely in glass, permit natural illumination of the pools area and the external adjustable brise soleil system modifies the ingress of sunlight on the basis o... More
