Harbour Club / LEVS architecten

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Wed, 23 Mar 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Project Harbour Club in Amsterdam’s quickly developing eastern neighborhood Cruquiuseiland is finished. The complex volume is a collage of old and new buildings and an unconventional program. There are the left-over industry-sized wine silos that have been turned into rooftop villas. Then there is the club at the heart of the new building, sound-proofed and structurally isolated to such an extent that it was possible to build apartments directly above it. Finally, there is the original building from 1901, neatly encapsulated by the new building and topped up with a green roof. The result exudes the same playfulness and eagerness with which LEVS architecten made and worked out the design for Amvest.

The promenade side of the building consists of large glass bay windows with entrances and the stairwells in between. On the side that faces the land, the sun side, all apartments have a spacious balcony. The standard program for each apartment includes a bathroom, kitchen, and a toilet.

Healthcare Centre IJburg / LEVS Architecten

Megan Jett — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000

This building is part of an urban development master plan for block 11, which was designed by KCAP. This plan partially defines the sizes, the volumes and the indents in the block. The building highlights an important urban development location on the corner of IJburglaan and Daguerrestraat. This location is central in IJburg making it is easily accessible for all inhabitants. The same complex includes 13 residences that in part are located above the health care center. This combination brings out the livelihood and various functionalities in the busy neighborhood. The side street is open with a lot of variety thanks to the many frames and indents in the outer wall. The outer wall on IJburglaan is relatively closed off, an exception within the block. This way the corner forms a clear connection to the no less striking and high corner of the shopping mall across the street on the Daguerrestraat.

On the Brewery / LEVS Architecten

Megan Jett — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000

LEVS architecten, in Amsterdam, has designed two remarkable buildings with 3,500 sqm of shops and 90 apartments. This plan is located where ten years ago a huge fireworks disaster blew away over 425,000 sqm of housing and factories in Enschede, eastern Holland. Since the disaster, the district Roombeek has been spectacularly rebuilt. The new shopping plaza has been erected in the heart of the district in the exact location where the destroyed former Grolsch Beer brewery used to be. The location’s remarkable past was the basis for LEVS’ design for the twelve-story building The Brewmaster and the five-story high The Granary.

Centrally located in the district Noorderplassen-West lies the Golden Mile. Sturdy blocks of ground floor residences surround this elevated green axis and five story stacked apartments. The residences and apartments that LEVS designed here, block GM9 and GM 12, stand freely in the surroundings, smack in the middle of the polder, where grass and water set the tone. By including a lot of sheltered outside space in every property, a link with the new land is made.

The Bastion is flanked by Lunet, two apartment buildings with 12 and 18 residences. The central avenue that leads up to the Bastion and the apartments is flanked on one side by four buildings each with 5 ground level residences.

Dogger's Corner / LEVS architecten

A paradoxical task: a closed juvenile institute with maximum security in combination with an environment where 144 juvenile residents between the ages of 12 and 18 can receive optimal treatment. The open and relaxed design of the Federal Institute for Youths (RIJ) makes for a privileged environment inside the protection and limitations of a wall.
