Pilar Caballero — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Staal-Kade – A New Future for a Modernist Icon. On the southern bank of the river Schinkel in Amsterdam stands a thoroughly renovated office building that bridges the past and future. Since its transformation in 2024, the structure – originally designed by Arthur Staal in 1962 – has gained renewed significance through a revitalisation and extension by Office Winhov, commissioned by Flow Development. Among Staal's most iconic works is the Shell Tower, now known as the A'DAM Tower.

Opportuna Residential Tower / Office Winhov + Office Haratori

Hadir Al Koshta — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

As a residential tower that makes an architectural statement in the transformation of a district, Opportuna offers a contemporary solution to the growing demand for affordable starter homes without compromising quality of living or sophistication. By incorporating key architectural elements of the area, the tower is deeply rooted in the neighbourhood. Opportuna is a collaboration between Office Winhov and Office Haratori, commissioned by the housing association Lieven de Key.

National Holocaust Museum / Office Winhov

Paula Pintos — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 03:00:00 +0000

As a singular and emotionally charged location, the National Holocaust Museum presents the history of the persecution of Dutch Jews during World War II. Opened in 2024, the museum is housed in the former teaching school Hervormde Kweekschool. It forms a larger whole with the former theatre Hollandsche Schouwburg across the street.

Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits at the Park / Office Winhov

Andreas Luco — Wed, 17 May 2023 07:00:00 +0000

As part of the city’s extending and transforming of Oosterpark, the former university dissection laboratory was given a new purpose as a 5-star hotel that’s also welcoming for locals. The overall complexity of this project – combining adaptive reuse, a new wing extension, and strengthening the relationship with the surrounding park – is a reflection of Office Winhov’s overall approach and ambitions. It was about bringing the old and new together with a balanced new program, a careful integration of the extension, and refined use of materials. The result is a design transformation that respects the building’s pre-existing strengths while introducing harmonious new elements.

Frederiksplein 1 Offices / Office Winhov

Valeria Silva — Sat, 10 Dec 2022 09:00:00 +0000

The former insurance bank building on the Amsterdam square Frederiksplein was constructed in 1967 and designed by Arthur Staal (1907-1993). It was a unique project for this fierce modernist who had a challenge in forming a relationship in the façades between two historical adjacent buildings. The result is a singular office building that is modern while still referencing the past – albeit abstractly.

Leiden City Hall / Office Winhov

Paula Pintos — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 02:00:00 +0000

Leiden's City Hall has been renovated and made more sustainable. Adapted to the new working methods of local government, the City Hall offers the municipality an appropriately rich and welcoming stage that again reflects the original allure of this monument – one with roots going back to the 14th Century.

Sud Residential Building / Office Winhov

Valeria Silva — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 12:00:00 +0000

The Kop Zuidas can be seen as a pivot point in Amsterdam. The north side of the location is the Zuidelijke Wandelweg [walking path]; the historical boundary between the Plan Zuid of Berlage and the green Amstelland in the south. The walking path still forms an important connection between the Zuidas and the Amstel.

Bucherer Flagship Store / Office Haratori + Office Winhov

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 26 Dec 2019 03:00:00 +0000

The Bucherer store is among one of the "Individuals" on the eastern-side of Bahnhofstrasse. Its peculiarity in bright natural stone is an important continuation of the character of the area. Securing the existing – a conversion – raises the question of permanence and generally about timelessness, innovation, and perfection – core principles of Bucherer. We carry the marble into the future, as well as the flat relief of the façade, the volume, the supporting structure and its order - a flagship store designed for Bahnhofstrasse.

Trippenhuis Complex / Office Winhov

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 13:00:00 +0000

The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) is the proud tenant of the Trippenhuis in Amsterdam. The Trippenhuis is part of a complex of several buildings along the Kloveniersburgwal in the historic center of Amsterdam and is owned by the Central Government Real Estate Agency. The Trippenhuis was built between 1660 and 1662 for the brothers Louis and Hendrick Trip, rich traders in arms and ammunition. The design is by Justus Vingboons. The Trippenhuis is one of the leading examples of Dutch classicism in Amsterdam and one of the few canal houses with both a monumental front and rear façade.

City Archive Delft / Office Winhov+ Gottlieb Paludan Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Mon, 06 Aug 2018 01:00:00 +0000

Office Winhov and Gottlieb Paludan Architects designed the new City Archive of Delft. The façade shows a distinct type of brickwork, as it expresses the timeless and robust character of the building with storage as its main purpose.

Alpine Loft / Office Winhov + Office Haratori

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 13:00:00 +0000

The village of Mathon has remained remarkably intact without significant alterations to the built fabric. At its heart sits an old wooden barn which has fallen into disrepair. If it were to be demolished it would never be replaced creating a gap in the centre of the village. To preserve both the structure of the barn and its role in the village ensemble it is converted into an alpine loft, a place for work and reflection. The project draws upon examples from far away, most prominently the Japanese house.

Student Housing Campus Eindhoven University of Technology / Office Winhov + Office haratori + BDG Architecten

Sabrina Leiva — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 05:00:00 +0000

Work began on building the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in 1957 based on the urban development plan of S.J. van Embden. His design aimed at creating an idealised factory environment for technical research and study consisting of tall, modern buildings on stilts that were connected with one another and with the laboratories and workshops located in between them by means of aerial walkways. The plan followed the modern ideal of self-contained buildings in a continuous landscape. The rational structure in which the buildings followed a fixed grid pattern was expressed in the curtain walls of the first generation of buildings on the campus. A master plan for the re organisation and expansion of the campus has been drawn up following the original design. It envisages the introduction of accommodation for students and researchers on the north side of the campus on the edge of the green brook valley of the Dommel.

W Hotel “Bank” Building / Office Winhov

Sabrina Leiva — Tue, 21 Feb 2017 05:00:00 +0000

The restoration and transformation for the former Kas Bank building will rejuvenate this national monument converting it into a five-star W hotel. The building, ori- ginally designed by F.W.M. Poggenbeek in 1908 was expended in phases until 1932. The building follows the classical typology of bank buildings with vaults on the ground floor and basement, a monumental bank hall on the first floor and offices above. The building is one of the first concrete constructions in the Nether- lands and is finished with a sandstone facade.

House Plot 75 / Office Winhov

Karen Valenzuela — Fri, 22 Aug 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The ‘Little Reed Island / Kleine Rieteiland’ on IJburg is surrounded by water that forms the border to the southern Diemerpark. The central street of the island is flanked on both sides by a continuous row of built homes developed in private ownership. Within well-defined urban conditions each house has its own architecture. The design for the house on lot 75 is created within close collaboration between the client and the architect.
