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.

Mixed housing for the soft city: overview of all the sustainable applications in the design of this urban housing block. Sustainability can be achieved on many different levels and topics. By integrating sustainable values at an early stage of the design process, we create valuable and future-proof buildings.

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 Rotterda

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.

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.

Casa Tamariu is the rational design for a modern villa against the hills of the Costa Brava in Spain. A design that combines maximum living comfort with robust elegance.

We’re now finalising the technical design with our partner B01 Arquitectes from Barcelona!

Keizer Koopmans has been selected as urban designer for a plan with over 500 houses in Rotterdam. In a closed competition we presented our vision together with our partners: landscape architects @b_plus_b and advisors for sustainable environment @over_morgen.

In the last months we’ve been working intensively with different market parties, stakeholders and the municipality on an integrated plan. We cannot show more details yet, but the plan is starting to look amazing!

R Way of Living. Positioning.
The striking appearance of the pavilion will act as the landmark for R Way of Living. Together with the slender white steel structure they form an important feature of the flexibility and recognisability of the project. This way the spatial concept is suitable for both an open green and busy urban location.

R Way of Living. Impression of the transportable CLT houses.
The housing units are arranged with the living room always facing towards the inner courtyard and the sleeping area on the outside. The slender steel construction with vegetation provides sufficient shielding and privacy. To ensure the small scale of the project, no more than three building layers are stacked on top of each other.

R Way of Living. View on the wide gallery.
A spacious gallery provides access to both the temporal housing apartments and the hospitality rooms. The stepped stacking of the houses towards the public square creates space for a communal roof terrace. By integrating a little sitting bench in the construction of the gallery we stimulate unexpected encounters.

R Way of Living. Isometric overview of the project. The various components and the multitude of public squares are bordered by a subtle steel construction that can be planted: privacy and identity at the same time. The temporary housing apartments are placed opposing each other, forming an inner courtyard together with the hospitality units. The hospitality units are at the other side of the entrance allowing guests to walk through the common area, further encouraging interaction.

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.

Cool Down City. A circulair pavilion situated in the harbour of Rotterdam from where all future activities of this green initiative will take place. Cool Down City gives away trees for free in order to prevent the city from turning into a ‘heat-island’. Based on the principle of a multi-storey library or a warehouse, the storage spaces for trees are stacked like open floors around a central space. The storage space forms the backdrop for all the activities within the pavilion.

Due to several modifications the interior of the house has become a labyrinth of unorganised spaces, the new extension not only adds space but also restores the clear and original floor plan.

Second is a small distribution zone for movement and the third zone contains the main living spaces.
