This apartment is a little gem I found in the crowded streets of a major Dutch city. I was rather surprised to see new constructions in the area so it immediately sparked my interest. Original layout: • Completed: 2006 Surface: 70m² • I personally think that if a building needs instructions in how to use it or […]
“-Re” House together with “-Re” Adapt are two series part of a project in which I review, refine and redesign residential projects available on the Dutch housing market. “-Re” House touches projects that have been completed after the year 2000 and could have been done more efficiently to begin with, while “-Re” Adapt looks at how to […]

This type of chaotic plan is something that I see rather often in constructions ranging from much older buildings up to really recent designs.

Ironically, though most people think that those are the best projects, they are some of the most difficult. The context of unlimited options forces one to immediately choose one specific direction, theme, chapter narrowing the usable elements. I envisioned a house […]
