A journey to uncover of what kind of architect I would like to become.
01
HER!LEVEN (2022)
Herman Hertzberger's iconic building, the Centraal Beheer in Apeldoorn. The building used to be an office and belongs to the structuralism movement, but it is since 2013 not in use. Therefore a new redevelopment plan has been designed, in which it now serves as a residential function.
02
De Parelmoer (2022)
There are 18,5 km of (unoccupied) flat roofs in Rotterdam. The roof of the Rotterdam Zuidplein Shopping Center contributes to this. At the chosen location there are many installations. The challenge to design a green place for people to meet and to think about the integration of rainwater, without having to demolish these installations.
03
Garden of Redemption (2023)
Every material is valuable. Whether it is brand new, second hand, recycled or demolished. I experimented to combine demolition waste with nature. The project shows how a bio-receptive building can be made from demolished concrete waste. With an emphasis on creating the perfect habitat for moss.

De Prisma (2023)
In the Netherlands, 58 percent of the population lives in a terraced house with a suitable configuration for the classic family. However, households are getting more diverse: singles, residential groups, blended families and more. There is a need for new housing types that are suitable for these target groups.
