The renovation of this former doctor’s house shows that a scruffy 1970’s house can provide a solid base for contemporary architecture and can accommodate both new use and the energy transition. New relationships were forged between the building and its surroundings, providing a new future-proof home for an elderly couple.

BETA’s design for an apartment building in Oostenburg addresses this by combining vertical access with collective spaces. Laced with a rich industrial history dating back to the seventeenth-century Dutch East India Company (VOC), the Oostenburg district is now one of the last significant urban infill projects in the city center of Amsterdam. In a dense urban scheme, BETA developed the design for a residential building with the aim of reconciling contemporary architecture with the rich heritage of the site. Unique about the building is how its residents are invited to take the stairs and meet each other. As such, ‘De Draaier’ is the direct consequence of BETA’s research ‘Active Design in Buildings’.

BETA was charged with designing a utilitarian structure on one of the few remaining plots on the NDSM heritage site. It is used for storage, seasonal maintenance and the construction of new yachts. In addition, the building offers office space and is occasionally in use for location theatre and other cultural events at the NDSM shipyard.
