Apartment Building Red Ruby / Bureau Fraai

March 1, 2021 Pilar Caballero 0

Bureau Fraai was appointed by Stadgenoot Development to design a residential building with 21 middle-income rental apartments on the island that for the last four centuries had been known as an industrial area. After it started four centuries ago as the home of the shipyards of the Dutch East India Company, it remained an industrial area for the major part of the 19th and 20th century when among others heavy machinery and locomotives were produced in the still existing iconic Van Gendthallen.

Birkenweg House / Curzio Ardinghi Architecture + Andres Carosio

The property is located right on the edge of the forest. The main challenge was to integrate the building into the existing natural surroundings creating an ideal connection to the woods. Therefore this project was inspired by nature. Despite its location close to the city, it is particularly influenced by the nearby forest.
