Farmyard, 4 houses at Oud-Empel in The Netherlands by Hilberink Bosch ArchitectenFriday, March 30th, 2012Article source: Hilberink Bosch Architecten Due to the demolition of several old sheds a unique plot became vacant in Oud-Empel. Oud-Empel is a small village situated along side embankment of the river Maas. The dike divides the village in two parts: the unsafe waterfront where the smaller labourers cottages are situated and a protected side with the large farms and small factories and where the notables lived. With respect to this historical setting four new volumes are scattered loosely on the protected location. The volumes make a characteristic historical composition of a farmyard with a large brick house with barns. But instead a agricultural function this barnyard has a residential function.

Rieteiland House in Amsterdam, The Netherlands by Hans van Heeswijk ArchitectsSunday, March 25th, 2012Article source: Hans van Heeswijk Architects We all occasionally fantasize about our dream home, but few of us ever manage to make it a reality. And how does the architect himself live? In this case, the private home of architect Hans van Heeswijk led to a spacious and light-filled house full of special details. The client and architect Van Heeswijk was encouraged not to settle for off-the-peg solutions. Instead, he seized the opportunity to work to a higher level of ambition in terms of how to use energy, how to maximize the potential of technology, how to respond to the context, and how to stretch the limits of what is possible. The result is a real machine for living in.  Image Courtesy Imre Csany

EUROBORG STADIUM in Groningen, the Netherlands by Wiel Arets ArchitectsFriday, March 23rd, 2012Article source: Wiel Arets Architects The multifunctional Euroborg stadium is a catalyst for a multiplicity of amenities that do not compete with the facilities in the city centre, but reinforce Groningen’s key position in the north of Holland. The complex houses theatres, sports facilities, shops, offices, apartments and catering establishments, in a synergy that benefits both users and facility managers. Rather than a conventional stadium with a football pitch, Euroborg will be a sort of microcosm where social interaction and social control go hand in hand.  Image Courtesy Jan Bitter
