House / Meitar Tewel

Details from the 1:33 ground floor plan. If you look closely, you can see the manually drawn and trimmed terrazzo and the hours I lost from the best years of my life <\3

Comprised of three timber structures, the center adapts its character and functions when confronting the different urban situations around it. The main building, facing the Weteringschans street, hosts a three-story high workshop, which offers an intensive connection between the lively activity it holds and the street. Its size, proportions and palace-like façade attempt to echo its formal surroundings, while not hiding the presence of exposed wood. On the South-West, a two-story building facing the canal provides a temporary housing solution for five residents, referring to the Dutch boathouse typology. A courtyard connects the workshop and the house, creating an intimate open-air room as the heart of a sequence of indoor and outdoor spaces: workshop, corridor, house; street, courtyard, canal.
