Startup Village Julich / Julius Taminiau Architects

Startup Village is a vibrant addition to Brainergry Park, a 7-hectare "energy transition" business park developed as part of the local shift from a coal-dependent economy. This colorful, dynamically designed village stands in contrast to the park's more formal, orthogonal, white-toned architecture.

In the words of Goethe, architecture has been likened to "frozen music," a notion that didn’t resonate with me. To me, architecture is not a static entity; it is dynamic and ever-evolving. Upon entering a building, one embarks on a journey, moving through spaces where light and shadow change constantly. Even the building can be moved by opening a door or window.

The ‘shady shed’ is an open plan office and workshop space on the site of an old, rotten shed that had fallen out of use. The project was inspired by the form and materiality of the old shed, paying homage to what came before it but offering a contemporary and sculptural take on the old garden shed.

Goethe once wrote: “architecture is frozen music”. But for Julius Taminiau this didn’t feel right. “Architecture is not frozen or static, it’s dynamic, you enter a building, move through a building, the sun(light) and shadows change constantly, sometimes you see rain falling, the people (and vegetation) “using” the building are all moving and even the building could be moved by simply opening a window or a door.”

Potato Shed House / Julius Taminiau Architects

Potato Ensemble. Three farm buildings form an ensemble; (I) the former farmhouse (listed building), (II) a large horse stable and (III) a cowshed. The uniqueness lies in its austerity. It gives an insight in former farm life, and can even be described as a ‘monument of poverty’. It’s like stepping in Vincent Van Gogh’s “Potato Eaters” painting. To transform the farmhouse back into the main home of the family, would require extensive building measurements and ruin all these nice characteristics. It was therefore decided to convert the farmhouse into a modest guesthouse and to rebuild the cowshed (potato shed) into the main family house. The large former horse stable functions as a flexible space which could be used as an atelier and for cultural events.

Tiny Home for a Tall Guy / Julius Taminiau Architects

“The secret of happiness is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” Socrates
It sounds a bit contradictory to build a tiny home for a tall guy but it actually ends up to be a large home for a tall guy. It turns out that 35 m2 is big enough to create a spacious feeling lofty home.

Tatami House / Julius Taminiau Architects

The house is designed by Julius Taminiau Architects and based in a "floating village" within Amsterdam. The budget for this project was very low and therefore it was decided to rationalize the design as much as possible and to make it as clever as possible. The Japanese Tatami size and arrangement was used as an inspiration for this project. A Tatami is a type of mat which is used as a flooring material in traditional Japanese-style rooms.
