Library Delft University of
Technology
Address
Prometheusplein 1
2628 ZC Delft
Netherlands
http://www.library.tudelft.nl
.
The library is a building of glass and grass. The University district
not only gains a library that is connected to the rest of the world
by modern electronic means, but also the atmosphere of a
campus. A vast lawn opposite the Brutalist concrete auditorium is
tilted at one point; the library slides into the resulting space
underneath. You can literally walk across the library. There are a
thousand study spaces for more than three thousand students
each day. A cone, the symbol of technical engineering, pierces
the lawn and library, attaching them like a pushpin. Upon
entering, visitors are drawn to the impressive wall of books that
hangs in front of an expansive deep blue background. The
columns in the central space not only support the structure but
also provide heating and ventilation, and illuminate the
continuous metal ceiling that flows across all spaces. Daylight
enters the building through the climate-controlled glass facades,
as well as through the cone in the central space.

186 student houses in Delft
Address
Leeghwaterstraat 152
2628 Delft
Netherlands
.
This student housing complex was designed for the DUWO
Foundation. For a fast building process, a modular construction
system was used. Each building is six storeys tall and is designed
without an apparent front or rear. Three facades are finished in
dark masonry laid with ‘beards’ of overflowing, excess mortar,
their irregular texture resulting in a distinctive play of shadows
on the facade. Deeply recessed window openings framed in
aluminium are scattered in a playful pattern over the facades.
Facing the park, the three buildings feature a green facade of
composite panels combined with a tubular metal frame covered
in climbing plants. Students can occupy the units alone or share
with one other person. Three rooms are grouped around a shared
living room with kitchen. Facilities such as the entrance, bicycle
parking and garbage room are situated on the ground floor of
each building.

http://www.tulipinndelft.nl/
.
The Tulip Inn Delft offers accommodation to the thousands of
IKEA co-workers who are visiting the next door IKEA Concept
Center as well as to other guests. It will also offer a natural
meeting point for both business and leisure visitors while
displaying IKEA know-how in interior design. The design of the
hotel's exterior and interior is the result of a close cooperation
between Inter IKEA Systems Holding B.V., which is the property
owner, and Golden Tulip Hospitality Group, the hotel operator.
Due to this collaboration the hotel will be exclusively equipped
with IKEA furniture in different IKEA style expressions.

Department of Geotechnology
Address
Stevinweg 1
2628 CN Delft
Netherlands
http://www.citg.tudelft.nl/
.
Delft University of Technology's new Department of
Geotechnology, part of the school's faculty of Civil Engineering
and Geosciences (CiTG), is housed in a building at one end of the
CiTG complex, which was designed by Van den Broek en Bakema.
The façade was stripped and given a new glass curtain wall
imprinted with a pattern of stones sawed in half. Existing window
cleaners' balconies were converted into bay windows equipped
with built-in air conditioners. Slanting lines in the façade follow
the spatial organization of the interior, a landscape of
laboratories, workstations and study areas. Voids were added to
connect existing floors and to represent transparency in the
education provided here. Floors were enlarged by adding a new
stairwell at one end of the building. Materials and colours derived
from the original building were applied in a more 'virtual'
manner.

This project is an interior concept in an existing shell - which is
also being extensively renovated - for the Delft Multimedia
Centre, part of the Public Libary. The centre consists of various
sections and parts of the collection, all retaining their unique
identity without losing touch of one another. The collection is
split into different 'rooms' or 'shops' with various ambiances,
ensuring the visitor makes a journey of discovery through the
building. Colour and light are used to organise the orientation
within the building and to emphasise the characteristic shell. The
interior design is characterised by the use of many soft
materials, to build a bridge between the visitor and the building's
concrete shell. Soft seating elements, wonderful furniture,
counters covered with leather, plenty of untreated MDF as a basic
cabinet element. A frontal presentation of all media on each
shelf of each cabinet is a new development, lending the library
the atmosphere of a sales room.

Dynamo Hall
Address
Prof. Snijdersstraat 5
2628 RA Delft
Netherlands
.
Originally built around 1903, its purpose was to provide a dynamo
testing facility for the adjoining faculty of Electrical Engineering
and Physics. The space is determined by the travelling crane and
the tracks in the floor which used to hold the dynamos in place.
The combination of masonry, steel structures, high windows and
skylights gives it the specific industrial character. When the
faculty moved to its new accommodation along the Mekelweg,
the building found new uses as a carpentry workshop, sports
facility, and as storage space. Over the next few years, disused
university buildings of the TU Delft in the area will be renovated
into a hotel, apartments, student housing, restaurant and office
space. The Dynamo Hall, which is the first object to be restored,
has been given new use as the offices of the DP6 architecture
studio. Alterations to the structure have been kept to a minimum
to ensure that the unique atmosphere of the building is
preserved, and even enhanced.

Centre Ypenburg
Address
Steentijdsingel 7
2496 SG Den Haag
Netherlands
http://www.ypenburg.nl/
.
On the former airport Ypenburg, near Nootdorp, next to Delft, a
large new neighbourhood has been built, with a clearly defined
centre. A series of high-rise housing combined with commercial
space was designed by Rapp + Rapp and has a very urban
character, in stong contrast to the mainly single-family-dwelling
set up of the rest of Ypenburg. The skyline of these marking
towers glows in the dark and function as a beacon and general
orientation as they are clearly visible from far away. The design
is inspired by the Toscan city of San Gimignano with its (formerly
70, now) 13 medieval towers. These towers were built by upper
class families who wanted to outshine each other by building an
even higher tower. Apart from creating a wonderful new visual
identity for Ypenburg, Rapp + Rapp succeeded in making
interesting public space by narrowing the streets inbetween the
towers. This way the dense urban feeling is enhanced.

Waterwijk Ypenburg
Address
Stiemensvaart 48
2497 ZE Den Haag
Netherlands
http://waterwijk.ypenburg.nu/
.
Hagen Island offers an attractive image, for consumption by a
broad range of people. Clearly, the project does not aspire to
appeal to just an elite group of artistic souls 'receptive' to such
housing. Almost half the houses are for the rental sector, while
the rest are for sale at prices of between 3.5 and 5.5 million
guilders. One section of the neighbourhood is now inhabited and
signs of domesticity are already visible - flower pots, paved
paths, lace decorations. MVRDV styling, it would seem, has not
influenced residents' preferences. The large sliding glass doors on
each floor reveal the interiors ranging from curving plastic
bedroom kitsch to Scandinavian timber cosiness. The greatest
quality of these houses is just how smoothly they accommodate
the everyday. Personal touches do not detract from the overall
picture, as so often happens with housing schemes that aspire to
the title Architecture.

Lyceum Ypenburg

Netherlands
http://www.lyceumypenburg.nl/
.
At Ypenburg, the new branch of the Atlas College of Rijswijk
occupies a characteristic location at the entrance to this
brand-new residential area. The programme has been divided
over four floors linked in space by large voids and staircases. The
main plan of the building is straightforward, consisting of a ring
of classrooms around a number of large lobbies. Daylight enters
the spaces within the ring through skylights and patios. Within its
deceptively simple and clear exterior, the building manages to
create a many-faceted world of light, air and space that does
justice to the theme of the Atlas College, ‘stirring splendour’.

Ypenburg Watervillas
Address
Van der Krukwater 2
2497 ZE Den Haag
Netherlands
.
The borders of Dutch lakes are more and more colonized with
private properties. They reduce public accessibility of the lake
shores. In the Deelplan 10 area in Ypenburg, as part of MVRDV's
master plan, a series of watervillas was positioned at the ends of
the piers, peeking into a communal lake. MVRDV designed the
four villas as single-storey units, with a roof deck on top, they
can be glued together. This wooden amalgam can be lifted up to
12 metres high, allowing a water space underneath with private
water decks, a parking lot, a dock for private boats, and a
communal bench overlooking the lake, all positioned on wooden
decks within the reed. The owners can jump from the sky deck
through the house and down to the private part of the lake. Two
elevator and stair cores allow this lifting act. A balancing figure
appears (text from architect's website).

.
Located in Ypenburg, The Hague, the NFI is a glazed volume in a
steel box set in a typical Dutch motorway landscape. The building
is a high security bulwark and an eye-catcher. It yields a corridor
spread over four floors with cellular offices and laboratories. Size
and location of each laboratory can be adapted to suit changing
demands and conditions. The NFI has been cut open horizontally
and seems to accommodate a glass volume. The steel box acts as
solar shading. Light penetration is different on each side. The
glass volume seems to lie just off centre because the steel
cantilevers around the building are not equally deep. The
architectural and spatial expressions of the interior are
determined by material and colour. Form and space are virtually
without properties, except in the part adjacent to the entrance,
where an auditorium, library and conference room are stacked on
top of one another.
