In a secluded bay near the Gaasperplas, this fully bio-based and circular pavilion of the Amsterdam Angling Association will be built. Arriving by foot or boat; the angular shape of the building, with its large, steep roof, will catch your eye. On closer inspection, you will notice that the entire building is made of wood: modified pinewood planks resembling shingles cover the roof. The shutters, the window frames and the modular construction are also made of pinewood and together will create a lovely natural habitat for angling enthousiasts and visitors. The large windows and doors on the ground floor emphasize the feeling of being in the middle of nature. If you look up, you can see the top of the building through the large void from which plants will hang into the restaurant below. After a positive concept permit application we have now handed in the full permit and can't wait to continue working on this unique project. Renderings by @proloog.tv
We've nearly completed a complete renovation and extension of a house in the Rivierenbuurt in Amsterdam. Wooden slats in varying widths and depths form a playful facade for both the extension and the garden shed
We are on the cover of the newest edition of @eigenhuiseninterieur ! Inside you can find a 14 page long article with many photos and an extensive interview on Bo, one of our partners, and Jorinde, with whom he lives in this apartment.
This playful renovation project, featuring a 4-meter high extension, is finished, and the garden has now come to life as well. The aim of the design was to create a unique home with a relaxed atmosphere, full of color. The ground floor has been extended, the floor has been lowered to increase height, and the layout of the house has been completely reconfigured. The kitchen plays a central role in the extension. The large kitchen island is oriented towards the dining table and the garden behind, allowing the residents to spend hours and hours cooking 🧑‍🍳
Befores & afters! (starting with the afters) Take a look at how this rundown 70s villa was completely transformed. Only the foundations, one exterior wall and the roof construction remained intact during the building process. Even though we built something almost completely new, we still wanted to maintain the principles with which the original building was designed: with solid exterior walls on either side, set back windows and a roof detail which goes all around the exterior of the building. FYI: the front garden will not remain a large grass field, it's still work in progress 🌱
Hereby we present you the first finished images of the villa we designed in Utrecht. The 224m2 of ground floor space is now inhabited by a young family that moved from South-Africa to the Netherlands. The objective was to create a home that is closely connected to the outdoors, like they've had in their previous home back in Cape Town. To achieve this HOP designed the house with many large windows at the front and back going from floor to ceiling and creating a visual connection between the front garden and the back garden. Direct sunlight and rain will be avoided as much as possible by adding canopies at the large window openings with a steel frame going all around the edges of the roof and with visible wooden slats below. For more information see link in bio. More photos will follow soon 📸
The facade of our project on the Blasiusstraat is finally finished! Built from sustainable bricks and sustainable untreated wood window frames, this eco-friendly house forms a true oasis in Amsterdam Oost. The approximately 5 meter high extension is lowered 60cm into the ground to be able create a floor with a bedroom (on the top right side of the photo) and an almost 5 meter high void (on the left side of the photo). The three doors to the garden can all be opened to create an indoor-outdoor connection. More photos will follow when the interior is finished 📸 .
Island HOP'ing to Texel where we are working on a very special project around "De Poort," a 1950's Reformed Church. The church, together with the walled garden, gallery spaces and artist in residence studio will be part of the new Soeterd Festival: a yearly art festival hosted in the summer with different locations scattered across the island. During the winter, the church will form an inspiring clubhouse space for local residents. We can't wait to help our client turn his vision into reality and turn these beautiful buildings into an amazing place to visit, experience art and come together.More about the festival: www.soeterd.com
Just a couple of more weeks until this unique monumental house in the city center of Amsterdam will be completely finished. The design will consist of a classy combination of modern and vintage materials, lighting and furniture. With a total of more than 300m2 and an entire back house with 4 floors of bedrooms and bathrooms, this house will become entirely future-proof. The steel stairs have just arrived so more exciting updates will follow 🙏🏼
