The completion of Westbeat adds a dynamic new link in the public space network of Amsterdam Nieuw-West. Designed by Studioninedots the new housing complex features a public base composed of 86 arches that shape a network of inviting, shared open spaces. Measuring 65 x 50 metres and 8.5 metres high, this superspace literally and metaphorically elevates Westbeat to become a distinguished destination in the city’s densifying urban periphery.

A customized (ware)house where everybody lives like nobody else. On the border of Haarlem's historic city center, a new warehouse has been built. 8-storey residential complex, De Scheepmaker, is a new addition to the Dutch skyline, but is so logical that it looks as if it has been there for years. It is recognizable by its warehouse-inspired typology, stepped roofline, and vertical glass cut. The stepped terraces allow sunlight into the street and compliment the scale of the surrounding architecture. The contemporary translation of industrial brick architecture is discernible by the masonry details in the facade, a tactile feature also made interesting for passers-by up close.

Together with Zuidplein and the area surrounding Ahoy, the Motorstraat area forms the Heart of the South in Rotterdam. In the future, a high-quality, multifunctional urban district will be established here. The Unielocatie Zuiderpark is one of the first developments within this framework. The building houses two schools: a vmbo school for preparatory secondary vocational education (Zuiderparkcollege, LMC Secondary Education) and an mbo school for senior secondary vocational education (Zadkine). Naturally, the two schools are characterized by extremely diverse and sometimes contradictory ideals.
