Corrosia Cultural Center

The scaly facade of this expressively designed building is made up of zinc-clad flat panels. The dwellings are arranged in 6 storeys, and appear to slide out of the facade like partly open matchboxes.

The middle floors of an apartment block are harder to sell, so the lower five and upper seven storeys were given greater volume than the middle four.

The apartments in this 19-storey block, which closes off the harbour basin, face out in two directions. The horizontally articulated apartments form a rhythmic pattern.

Villas that can be delivered with differing numbers of segments according to the purchaser’s wishes. The middle segment is always the tallest. The height declines towards the extremities giving the houses a distinctively arched roof.

This tower is 120m tall and has 28 storeys. The building forms part of the business district built on the north side of the station.

These sixteen homes are grouped in blocks of four in an unusual pattern. Each house is 8 x 8 metres square with one chamfered corner. The extra room on the roof, reached by an external staircase, could function as a studio.

A higgledy-piggledy building, as a wreck at the edge of the dike. A gate attracts the audience to itself by an elevated panorama room to experience a breathtaking view.

A small, cylindrical utility building poised between solar panels, a pond and a bus lane. The building is clad in corrugated sheeting and rests on short legs. A sturdy external staircase and punched-out lettering add to its distinct character.

A structural shell of 60 cm thick concrete enwraps a nine-storey office block. Due to the heavy facade with its emphatic rhythm, the building proclaims an immense robustness and tranquillity.

Four individual houses designed by the same architect, each with low gutters, extended roofs, oiled woodwork and red roof tiles. The timber frame construction is reminiscent to vernacular Zaanse houses, Scandinavian design and Limburger farmsteads.
