Transforming Housing Heritage

Abstract

The Eilandenbuurt Post-war flats designed by J.H.Van den Broek are unique in its street form and is and early experiment for Dutch modernism dwellings. Yet today it suffers from low occupancy. In this project I finds the solution through three actions: vary, adapt, engage to change the heritage from repetitive functional dwellings into variant apartment typologies and common area within the building.
