Our project SILO has been featured in the foresight section of the research publication Laag voor Laag (Layer for Layer): Biobased Insulation Materials in Mid-High Residential Buildings, which showcases insightful examples of biobased residential architecture across Europe. Download the publication here (for free).
SILO is designed with a strong focus on biobased materials, incorporating hemp-based insulation among cross-laminated timber (CLT) for the construction and biocomposite materials for the facade.
We visited the Rowing Club Dusseldorf to research and get a grip on the site and the context.
Together with the municipality of Amsterdam we ran three workshops with urban designers, public space designers and architects to think about concrete tools for sustainable urban design. The outcomes served as a base for a manifest. We designed a sketchbook to bring the manifest into the designprocesses of the urban designers and public space designers.
For our project Silo in Deventer we're aiming to reuse elements from a former farmfood factory nearby the plot.
We submitted sketch design proposal for a school in Aalsmeer, together with Kraaijvanger.
