Atelier Robidoux will be guest teacher for the Summer School 2018 at Faculteit Bouwkunde TU Delft.

Last week, in collaboration with Iris de Kievith architect and APPM Rotterdam Atelier Robidoux took part of a design workshop with 20 different associations active in the community of Raamsdonk.  The goal of this event was to collect input from the users themselves about their needs, wishes and expectations.

Now that we collected all this information, the design team has started on the re-organization of the Adrianus building and the Agnes building.  Because these buildings have specific patrimonial qualities, we need to analysed carefully either the urbanistic and the interior scale.

The intention is to achieve a sustainable transformation of these monuments and their near environment, with respect for the old village structure.

Atelier Robidoux has been commissioned for a schematic design of a housing extension and transformation of a modern flat build by the architect Marc Bukman located in the North of Rotterdam.

The workshop we implemented together with our client as the quick off for this study was very fruitful and inspiring.   The ambition for this study is to create a sustainable, rich of natural light and spacious living environment for this family.

Atelier Robidoux has been commissioned to design a multigenerational villa of 1000m3 in Zevenhuizen, The Netherlands.  Last week, we had a first very inspiring workshop with the clients in our studio.   We are thrilled by this new challenge!  Here a first preview of the beautiful site model we presented last week.

 

The Metis International Garden Festival is recognized as the largest event of its kind in North America and one of the world’s leading garden festivals. Since 2000, some 900,000 people have discovered around a hundred gardens designed by more than 220 creators from some fifteen countries.

We are pleased our projet made it until the pre-selection in the last 30 designs but unfortunate hasn’t been selected to be realized in 2018.   We are actually looking for another Festival to realized this beautiful project in Europe.

Have a look at our proposal here

We propose to Les Jardins de Métis to make a giant model of the Parthenon built with a hundred bales of hay. Inspired by the creation of the popular German pedagogue Friedrich Fröbel in the 19th century, the box of blocks is an educational program of the most effective awakening by the play of children aged three to six years. Like a trip back in time, the color of the straw is reminiscent of the ocher stone of the ruins and the refined volumes of Fröbel’s wooden blocks. The dimensions of the cylindrical and rectangular straw volumes correspond to half of the dimensions of the Parthenon and respect these rules of classical composition. The use of hay bales as building materials and plants selected for the native plant floor refer to the ubiquitous agroculture present in the area. In the heart of the aligned straw columns, a sensation of monumental intimacy consists in creating a spatial contrast during the visitors’ walk. Kids and adults alike can interact with smaller hay bales randomly placed in the center of the garden.

Last Friday was the final presentation of my first year students from architecture school @TU Delft.  The commission was to design a house with B&B integrated in a typical Dutch landscape:  grass field and wind meals.  Interesting and very different proposals…

Afgelopen donderdag is Atelier Robidoux gevraag tijdens expertmeeting georganiseerd door MOOI-Noord Holland om mee te denken over de toekomst van dit prachtige object: Het Gemaal De Poel in Monnickendam.

Een ontmoetingsplek creëren
De hoofd functie van deze plek zou moeten zijn: verbinden.  Een droomfunctie zou zijn een combinatie van openbare functies die het dorp  bedienen zoals een restaurant aan het water, gecombineerd met een werkplaats/ bootjes huren … ;  Daaraan toegevoegd  een museale functie waar het thema Water centraal staat (over de geschiedenis van het Gemaal of/en de Zeedijk en/of bijzondere bootjes).  Het restaurant/café en boot verhuur zou in de uitbreiding van het Gemaal aan De Poel kunnen plaats vinden.  De museale functie zou in het voormalige Gemaal ondergebracht kunnen worden, een geschikte ruimte voor grote objecten.

Have a quick look! Our interior design for Lunatech headquarter in Amsterdam Zuidas is published on office snapshots.
