Room for reflection. At a crossroads of sea, city,

Room for reflection. At a crossroads of sea, city, dunes and canal lies the largest polluter of the Netherlands: the former Royal Dutch Steel Works known as Tata Steel IJmuiden. We propose to shut it down after which the polluting components can be demolished and disposed of. A few culturally important parts of the blast furnaces are to be preserved and designated as industrial heritage. Following the example of the Great Exhibition, the 1851 World Fair dedicated to the industrial revolution, we propose a place where the transition can be experienced and felt.
.
.
Room for reflection can be seen as a platform, a series of interactive rooms where the groundwork is laid for spatial policy. The contrast could not be greater - creating a space to discuss the future on the remnants of the past. Yet at the same time, it is logical: transformation, reuse and reimagination are the building blocks of the future. The existing infrastructural construction of tubes high above the road is used as a path, allowing nature and animals to take their course at ground level.

Room for reflection was our competition entry for Prix de Rome - a competition with a strong analytical and conceptual character.

Room for reflection. Higher sea levels pose a grea

Room for reflection. Higher sea levels pose a great threat to the future of the Netherlands. But unlike in the past, the ‘Deltawerken 2.0’ cannot be solely focused on the struggle against the water; a combined approach of systemic change along multiple axes is crucial: we should not work against water, but with the flow of nature instead. There are plenty of ideas on how to tackle the effects of the rise in sea levels, divided into four approaches. The impact of these different approaches on the geographical map of the Netherlands and the Dutch society as a whole is extremely diverse.
.
.
The potential challenges are diffuse and uncertain. Consequently, there is no specific client, let alone a program of requirements. This demands a different role of the designer. The designer must be supportive, explanatory and investigative rather than problem-solving or goal-oriented. We do not propose a solution but to provide a space for public debate. A neutral place that, because of its location, will continue to exist regardless and will change regardless of what choices we make or do not make.

Carnisse Eiland is on the longlist for the ARC22 Urban Design Award!

The ARC Urban Design Award rewards urban and landscape plans that distinguish themselves in quality and innovation. The jury looks for plans that address the most pressing issues of our time: from population growth, housing shortage and social inequality to environmental problems and climate change.

In September, the jury will meet and select three nominees. Fingers crossed we get selected!

Mixed housing: visualisations of the different facades. The aim is to achieve a coherent architectural image with consistent repetition, modest and warm materials and colors and a transition zone all around the urban block. The transition zone provides a good balance between public and private space and stimulates social encounters.

Carnisse Eiland. In the heart of the urban plan, in the middle of the car-free area, we positioned a new neighborhood square. By positioning the square in the center of the plan between the building blocks, it literally forms the hierarchical center of the public space. The central square is intended as an intimate space where local residents can come into contact with each other. The square will have an inviting and open character and forms a sheltered and safe place for both parents and children.

This is one of the first sketches we made during the competition.

Carnisse Eiland. The public space for this new park neighbourhood will form the main qualitative identity. In fact, the plan area is part of the Zuiderpark. The area will therefore offer space for various scales of greenery, from intimate places to stay to scenic park routes and lively places for meeting and recreation.
.
We made the urban plan for Carnisse Eiland together with @bureaubplusb - a design office that combines a great deal of experience with young talent. Because the office continues to renew itself, they find refreshing solutions to relevant issues.
.
For the four southern plots, architecture firms @korthtielens, @geurst_schulze and @wearchitecten are appointed by developers @era.contour, @heijmansnl and @duravermeer to design the housing blocks of the first phase. Architecture firm @juli_ontwerp will be responsible for the design of the new accommodation of healthcare institution Humanitas.

As urban designers, we will continue to support the design phase of the building blocks.

Carnisse Eiland. The urban structure consists mainly of semi-open building blocks intermixed with height accents. On the southern edge, a smooth curved line of facades marks the transition from park to city. A scenic wadi combined with a low concrete wall creates a natural barrier between public park and private house without blocking open views.

Carnisse Eiland is a new neighbourhood in Rotterdam where affordable family housing, education and recreation are coming together in a new park like landscape. Wide transition zones between private and public spaces, collective courtyards and a new central neighbourhood square stimulate interaction between local residents. A green central axes connects a series of water infiltration zones that simultaneously act as natural playgrounds in between two primary schools. The urban plan with more than 500 homes is a design by @keizer_koopmans, @bureaubplusb and @over_morgen.

Casa Tamariu. The terraces and the facade of the first floor are cladded with natural stone. Equal treatment of all surfaces makes the plinth of the villa appear to be gouged out of the rocky mountains. Different types of outdoor spaces are aligned along the villa and separated by subtle height differences. The outdoor spaces are bordered by a planter that acts as a railing and green planter at the same time. The outdoor terrace is complimented by an outdoor kitchen, which is integrated into the facade.

@keizer_koopmans

Casa Tamariu. The villa is placed like a solid monolith in the sloping landscape. The natural colours and materials ensure optimal integration into the Spanish landscape. The basis is formed by a sand-coloured natural stone from a quarry near Ulldecona, some 300 kilometres south on the Spanish coast of Tamariu. The facade of the cantilevered floor is entirely finished with a coarse plaster, in the same colour tone as the sand-coloured natural stone. By applying different materials, a subtle transition is created which makes the cantilever seem to float. The light sand colour is complimented by aluminium window frames with a dark bronze hue and elements of dark brown wood.

@keizer_koopmans

Casa Tamariu. The ground floor is partly pushed into the mountain and mainly accommodates sleeping rooms and technical spaces. The villa can accommodate as many as 10 people. On the west side the landscape gently slopes like a green hillside against the bottom of the cantilever. On the east side however, a stair cuts through the landscape in a straight line. This stair continues from street level up to the entrance on ground floor and on to the green back garden of the plot.

Casa Tamariu: concept sketches. The villa is composed of a simple square of 11 by 11 meters and two residential floors. A cantilever around the top floor provides shelter from the burning sun. This floor functions as an all-sided living space: floor-to-ceiling sliding doors all around allow for views on the surrounding landscape. The large horizontal openings in the cantilever frame the landscape like a composed panorama. The cantilever makes vertical sun protection superfluous, guaranteeing generous views and daylight entry.

R Way of Living. View on the wide gallery.

R Way of Living. Ground floor. The concept is flexible because the amount, size and type of housing units is not fixed. The basic concept ensures the multitude of spaces but allows the complex to be half or double the size. Most temporal housing projects provide the private spaces, while adding quality outdoor space, which is just as important, rarely happens.

The storage space forms the backdrop for all the activities within the pavilion.
