Abstract
This project is an adaptive-reuse project on De Knip, the current tax administrative building in Sloterdijk, Amsrerdam into dwelling complex for starters. It is a house to rekindle our innate, physical sensitivity towards our environment, which has been slowly eroded in the mass standardisation in architecture. The interventions are added in modest, archaic or non-canonical approaches to challenge the conceived idea of comfort and home, materialised in reeds & relevant complementary biobased materials.
