Living room with view of kitchen and gardenOpen 3D-model with entrance hall, living room, bedroom and bathroom OLD: low, dark spaces NEW: light & opened-up spaces HOUSE LS Project: Conversion of small house Location: Utrecht Client: Private Costs: 54.000 euro A house from the 30 in the center of Utrecht needed to be totally refurbished. This was seen as a possibility to create more space and light in the house. Half of the attic floor is taken away to create a very spacious bedroom, the rest of the attic floor is raised together with a big beam, which makes the spaces below much higher. A roof light is placed which makes light even reach the entrance hall way. The bathroom moved from first the floor to the second floor and the living room is now entered from the hall way through a wall of books. Garden and living room are separated by a big sheet of glass which results in a lot of light and a very spatial connection with the garden. 3.

CONTOUR PROTECTIVE SCREEN TRIANGULAR SHAPE Intheclientsbackyardacarporthadtobebuiltwithin a limited amount of space. The chosen solution was a screen that follows the exterior contour of the car. On one side the screen was extended to the ground so that the nearby green shrubs would not grow into the inside of the carport but rather over it. This light and freely formed screen was made into a triangular structure to meet aesthetic demands and make it buildable. Tension is sought by making the light screen rest on a heavy, freestanding, and colourful mosaic-lined column. In the realized design it is the screen which actually became far more colourful.

Superpool was responsible for the design, managing the construction and now also for the management of Studio X itself. For lectures, workshops, exhibitions, all dealing with the future of cities, a multi functional space was needed. It was found in the two lowest floors of an old office building. The spaces were stripped from all necessity and the industrial character of the bold spaces is used in the realized design. Around the big open space with mezzanine and vide more small multifunctional spaces and secondary functions like luxurious bathrooms found its place behind constructional walls. 6. EXTREME SPORTS PARK Project: Board Sport Park, Diplomaproject TU/e Tutors: Ton Venhoeven, Marco Vermeulen, Ralph Brodrck Client: Willem Bakker Location: Roermond A more public themapark This project started as an initiative to bring together several extreme sport facilities in a lakeside landscape. Instead of making a conventional closed off theme park, it became the objective to give the Extreme Sports Parks a far more public and open character, create more possibilities for different users to interact and create a place where more can happen than the above program suggests. To make the park more accessible, a park-like layer is drawn over the extreme sport spaces. This green layer with roads is linked to the surrounding green structure and roads. In doing so an accessible park is created that can be used by cyclists, hikers, skaters, sunbathers. In the underworld the sports facilities are placed as steps of a staircase to create interesting interactions between upper- and underworld, but also between the users of the different sport spaces. In this way different worlds are placed above and near each other; worlds that stimulate different events, but only become interesting where they touch and cross each other so that something can happen in between.

SKATE HALLSKI HALL DETAILS Milled MDF-model Making a Model: -CNC-wood mill -vacuum forming machine -laser cutter View in Ski bar Park at mainroad Whole model with transparent landscape SECTION Structural concept To create the necessary height for the ski halls, soil is chosen as the constructive basis, for this is much cheaper than a steel frame and it provides the necessary fertile underground for the green landscape. The majority of the roof is covered with ivy and made inaccessible to limit the costs of an expen- sive treadable roof. The steepest slopes, which are between 45 and 70 degrees, are realized by reinforcing the soil with geogrid mats which are connected to constructions of prefab concrete elements. For slopes steeper than 70 degrees, as with the skating hall, the vertical garden system of Copijn landscape architects is used. 10. Use of space Since the introduction of the Tobacco Act of 2008, guests of the Park Theatre are forced to smoke on the pavement outside the building. Therefore the idea grew to design an inside smoking area for these guests. Unfortunately smoking areas are mostly glass boxes in which the smoker is exposed. You dont want to see these boxes nor be seen in them. The chosen solution is a space which is largely closed but has a big window looking out on a projection screen. In the smoking space different atmospheres are created by projections of a jungle, a dessert or a sea shore including ambient light and sounds of the sceneries inside.

At a large shopping and market square with boring late fifties buildings in Eindhoven, a jewellers shop with house had to be topped with an extra house. The goal was to create something refreshingly different, to create a new way of living, and something which was not afraid to show itself to its surroundings. The house was vertically impaled by ten steel columns and this created the basis for a framework that works as a spatial tree in which the program is brought to life by several floors and spaces made of wood, as if they were wooden tree huts. The facade was given a sleek glass curtain, exposing life in this case as if it were an aquarium.
