The Membrane: From Co-isolation to co-habitation
This project explores the possibilities of creating more awareness between neighbours in neighbourhoods that are characterized by a high level of segregation, be it ethnic or social. Situated in Tiergarten-Süd, Berlin, the project provides an answer to the question "How can architecture give common ground to co-habiting but unfamiliar neighbours?"

Delicious Domain
This project implements architectural elements in the transit space between the public domain and the private domain. By creating a market space, the delicious domain is introduced, the place where meeting places occur by the implementation of architectural elements within the transit space and cultures can be shared.

A narrative experience in a patchwork city
Fluctuating through the fragments of the patchwork city, the dweller moves through a sequence of juxtaposed spatial forms that define the narrative experience.
A patchwork is a metaphor to explain the way in wich the city is made up: It is not the result of any unitary drawing but it comes from the collage of fragments, I n a progressive definition of diverse scenes.
In this graduation project the dwellings are the spatial forms. The relationship of the spatial forms makes the space. A space that is a narrative experience within a patchwork city.

Densified Open Space
Cities are densifying instead of spreading out more. The Zuidas in Amsterdam is an example of this as 100m towers rise around the train station. The public space in these area's and specifically in the Zuidas is left over space which is not often used. Add to it that the main functions in the new high density area are offices resulting in a non-existant public life in the area.
Project for Public Spaces (Jan Gehl), Rudy Uytenhaak and others have looked into the effects of density on livability and liveliness and conclude that the more dense a development gets, the more important it's public space and visual openness becomes. Their strategies on designing public space and residential quality are indorporated in this mixed use design

Getting Together - Een monumentaal woongebouw in Berlijn
Doel van dit ontwerp is om op een plek waar vrijheid een bijzondere betekenis heeft, een combinatie te maken van wonen, werken en een publieke beleving. Hierin is de ‘visual unprivate zone’ een
afgebakend gebied, een zone waar interactie plaats vindt tussen het privé terrein en het publieke terrein, zó vormgegeven dat beide gebieden een hogere kwaliteit krijgen

Notion of the North
‘At the moment Amsterdam, including the north, is undergoing big changes...’
‘... the city is suffering from the crisis and is looking for new ways to house people. This also concerns the district of Amsterdam Noord. How will these changes and conditions effect the character of this part of Amsterdam. Will ‘Noord’ in twenty years still be ‘Noord’?
‘The last one hundred years Amsterdam Noord developed into a district where living, industry and working can exist next to each other. Amsterdam Noord is informal, ‘not tidy’, it is indifferent, in one hand traditional but also ‘easy’. Pockets of working class housing and areas with small industry and businesses are imbedded in a spacious, divers, maybe even fragmented urban patchwork. Moreover, the district is bordered by the river IJ in the South, and by a rural hinterland in the North which generate a lot of opportunities. Being part of a vibrant, important metropolis, Amsterdam Noord has its own personality, it is part of the collective memory of the city.’
How can a housing project implement these aspects to keep and even enhance this ‘personality’ of Amsterdam Noord?
What kind of program and configuration, concerning the design site, is needed when dealing with this notion of the North?

City nomads: a new concept for dwelling in Spangen
My graduation project is focused on the urbanite as a nomad in the networksociety and the relation to his residence.
The main researchquestion was: How does the lifestyle in relation to the networksociety influence the relation of the urbanite with his residence and the direct environment in the city? After reading and studying literature by among other De Cauter, Heidegger, Gehl, Sloterdrijk, Heynen, Hajer and Reijndorp and analyzing some case studies in Rotterdam I came to a hypothesis that was the base for my graduation design.
The design features a dwelling complex for the urbanite with an extensive network and is situated in Spangen, Rotterdam. The stated hypothesis for this target group describes a separation between different groups of activities that normally take place within a single house. In the new concept this single house is separated in different spaces for body and mind activities. The nomad has a capsule to retreat to and to give room for the basic needs, the body-unit and a very flexible space that is linked to the public space, can be shaped according to the wishes of the user and can be shared with other residents, the mind space.
The design attaches the city nomad to their living environment and fellow residents: a community originates which is able to raise the quality of the environment and public space in Spangen. By opening up the building block and letting in the public space the design becomes an integral part of its environment: Spangen. Its residents are at home in their neighborhood and the urbanite plays an active role in the public realm.
The design is an alternative to the gated communities: shutting off from the living environment only results in a deterioration of this environment. In the postmodern society housing communities are not based on believes or ideologies but only on practical use: by developing a new way of dwelling in which the residents are attached to each other and their environment by their lifestyle a healthy way of living and of dealing with the public realm can be achieved.

The Living Garden: Youth House Amsterdam North
Gardens and terraces are “ in between spaces” which are a smooth transition between inside outside that allow the dwellers to connect or isolate to the city and the collective.
In the project The Living Garden, the garden is the element of transition that creates connection between the Dwellers and the City, the Dweller and the Collective, the Dweller and his or her own Intimacy.
These connections are done by different types of gardens in different levels and scales. They are organized from public to collective, and from collective to private. On the ground floor public gardens are the spaces where the Dwellers and the citizens meet. From the Second floor on, collective gardens promote a rich relation among neighbors. Furthermore, in each individual dwelling, according to each specific typology, each dweller can isolate to his or her own intimacy.

Migration and dwelling quality in Rotterdam
The intention of this paper is to establish a statistical correlation between migration and the quality and quantity of houses in Rotterdam and environs at a high level of aggregation. Verification or falsification of correlations involving more variables would require a spectrum of data for all municipalities in the Netherlands which is beyond the scope of this paper.
This paper presents primary research data of residential migration and the quality of dwellings in and around Rotterdam. It makes a substantive (historical data) and procedural (research process) contribution to knowledge which is of use to under graduate and post graduate students, as well as to researchers in the town and regional planning field.

The experience of home: stages of perception in contemporary housing
The main goal of the design is to find a way to enhance the quality of the experience of the city through the design of living spaces. These are themselves developed according to how the space is perceived and experienced, and not with a mere functional approach.

Gate to North
My graduation project 'Gate to North' is a mixed-use (dwelling & workspaces) building with flexibility strongly integrated into the concept. The base is a highly flexible frame that can be filled in with any desired program. The next stage is to put in the floors and facade to create a Solid-type structure. The final stage is the definitive program and dwelling type distribution. Because of the flexibility a large range of dwelling types and sizes was developed, that can be placed throughout the building. The most important concept for the dwelling types was the possibility to enjoy the view from every space inside the dwelling, starting from the entrance.
