Robbert de Goede has designed a new home in a former gymnasium in old city center Amsterdam, Netherlands. Imagine the possiblity to build a new home in a former gymnasium. A space everyone knows and many architects have fantasized about. First we brought in a flood of daylight with 10 skylights and a huge facade. The trusses were a gift from the building. The new steel structure is detailed accordingly. A combination of new and used materials were selected for the finishes. Many of them of touchable nature.

Lako is a living box inside the snowy jungle designed by Shomali Design Studio. We tried to use a solid and simple form to make a powerful and safe feeling. On the other hand, making harmony with the surrounding by extending the sloping roof to the ground was our main goal.

The project consists of the reform of a flat in Barcelona’s Eixample. It is located on the chamfer, which explains its elongated and narrow plan, almost of corridor. Before the intervention, the aparment had undergone multiple transformations. The original hydraulic flooring and Catalan vaulted roof had been covered by low-value materials. 

Tilt and turn, that’s how we learn! Studies say that if the façade looks complex and interesting, it affects the visitors in a positive way. Also, monumental-scale buildings have always witnessed ‘wow’ at the very first glance. It not only represents the wealth and luxury of its occupants but also makes them feel inspired and valuable.
