Personal interests I am particularly interested in researching spaces’ relations in architecture, edges between communal / individual spaces, inside / outside. I love to sketch (and Sketch-up). As the bachelor from a technical university, I am able to design construction details of buildings. In free time I just move - train parkour, bike and recently partner-acrobatics.

COMMON GROUND.
“COMMON GROUND”We search the confrontation between the different stakeholders on the common ground. It’s an area where the different needs of the stakeholders come together. By adding different functions to this area, we regulate this process.The common ground is achieved by blurring the line btw building and landscape and btw public and privateThe space is used, the different actors learn to interact and profit from the other.

you are demotivating me to use my car! I need to walk sooo far to get to my couch. Next time I will take the bike to go to the shop around the corner you bastard. Although I had a really nice walk on the rooftop passing by some tomato plants of my neighbour this time. Oh, and there also was some movie playing :)
This is sooo easy :D
“STAKEHOLDERSHIP vs. trouble prevention”There are a lot of different stakeholders on the tinelsite.As all of them have different points of view and different goals, trouble might exist.Our goal is to convert the backyard into the front yard!We focus on the area where the different stakeholders can meet each other in a positive way.We try to find a balance between opening up the different stakeholders to each other and still some level of own property.This way we create an identity for the site as a whole, and at the same time different partners can profit from each other.All this without exaggerating, in order not to get in trouble.

The hybrid tower is combining generic function (dwellings) with meditation / relaxation spaces, plus interconnecting surrounding streets with a public park situated under the struc-ture.Relaxation spaces (café) take place in transparent hexagonal structure, preserving contact with sky above, vegetation underneath, and are being penetrated by the sunlight reaching the park beneath. Meditation cells are solid hexagons accessible from transparent cells.The park consists of 3 parts on different levels. Ranging from a dynamic square with a skate-park near the 4-lane road (right), through a quiet middle part with spots of soft grassy sur-face, until a high vegetation park on the left.

Project for a new mixed-use develop-ment in former industrial area in Shen-zhen, China. A call for a high density is answered with a low-rise typology. It is reaching density of Hong Kong city (~40 000 inhab. / km2) on just 5 floors, thanks to an efficient space usage and minimiz-ing unused spaces “in-between“ build-ings. Important feature of the project is a very smooth gradient between collective and individual spaces, ranging from a collective street, through various lev-els of courtyards and terraces, until an individual room. That creates spaces of interaction on different levels, between family, close friends, neighbours or just strangers. A contemporary approach is heavily based on medieval high-density typolo-gies - Hakka and Siheuyan. Tested and worked for the past, reinvented in a con-temporary way for nowadays China.

Too much division. Current site has an interesting list of different functions, that are all working on their own right now. On a cultural level, there are different communities in Mechelen, all being there, without looking at each other.We fade away the boundary between different functions by mixing them up where possible: road - river - surrounding houses - park - parking - museum - library - youth centre - new housing - offices. The one can use functions of the other, the two start to know each other and this will spice up the whole.We search the confrontation between the different stakeholders on the com-mon ground. It’s an area where the different needs of the stakeholders come together. By adding different functions to this area, we regulate this process. The common ground is achieved by blurring the line between building and landscape and between public and private . The space is used, the different ac-tors learn to interact and profit from each other.The new building of youth centre + new park / parking with workshop spaces are parts of overall landscaping interventions, creating spaces of com-mon ground, shared by different stakeholders around and blurring divisions between them.

The aim of the sports centre project in early years of my studies was to design a place, where active and passive free time activities come into a close contact. The whole build-ing consists of blocks reflecting a typical CIAM block development in Petržalka district. These boxes accommodate sport gyms, café, background spaces. In between boxes take place wide corridors for a rest & passively enjoying sports. Separating walls inside are mostly transparent - visually connecting spaces of active and passive activities together.

Strange form of the project of fire station came as the result of logistical analysis of this typology. All spaces are located in a close contact with fire poles exiting directly to the garage. In this job, there are only 60 seconds from the initial alarm, until a fire engine loaded with firemen is leaving the station. Building’s final shape creates a contrast with CIAM housing blocks around, emphasizing dynamic character of fireman’s duty.

Ecological housing project on 39 ha. area with a very high risk of flooding.
Following the request of developer, the former undeveloped land was analysed to point out how much the site can be developed and under which circumstances. Water experts have set clear rules for the floods’ storage capacity on site that has to be guaranteed. This has concluded to keep 2/3 of the area as uncultivated land for temporary flooding, while 1/3 will be reserved for development (400 residential units). The research has also investigated how the new hous-ing can contribute to limit the floods in the wider neighbourhood. A comprehensive water storage system was developed, adding value to new homes and the environment. This has also led to a decision to minimize roads in the area, where cars are kept on the edges of the site while houses are reached from these edges on foot (max. 5 minutes distance). The old typol-ogy on the site were old farmhouses. This inspired us to reintroduce this structure to collective farm-houses with agriculture fields attached. They are planned on the developed area together with single and row houses, low-rise apartment buildings, and small commercial units (local farm-product shops, library, ...).

The draft master plan searches for a balance between the natural qualities and a productive landscape, considering agriculture, sports and recreation as important added values for the pres-ervation and development of the open space.
Bruges high-rise3D model + analyses for Space lab / 51N4E
The city has been increasingly confronted with questions from the public and private developers about developing higher structures here. The historic city centre is fully protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Moreo-ver, a buffer zone of 200m around is protected as well. This leads to tensions and conflicts in certain construc-tion plan initiatives. The UNESCO protection is consid-ering not only the area inside the border of historic city, but also the typical profile of Bruges seen from outside.Therefore Bruges ordered a study as a first step of developing an architectural framework respecting the UNESCO protection. While working for Space lab and 51N4E we tried to search for opportunities and poten-tial for higher structures in the city.The study led to a number of policy recommendations on how to deal with possible intensification strategies. It has pointed out some specific areas with new developments and densification possibilities without violating the UN-ESCO protected historic city.
