Darous building / Hamedart

November 3, 2020 Valeria Silva 0

Over times, home has been a safe place that provided privacy, and also paid attention to its connection with public space(street and yard). Nowadays one of the main elements of visual connection between person’s inside and the public space(outside) are the windows. According to Johann Plasma, a Finnish architect: The window in architecture connects light and shadow, outside and inside, open and closed space, introversion and extroversion, and public and private. Today, we see many buildings with windows like row of openings in accordance with the national building laws, and the residents of such buildings deprive themselves of the benefit of such an architectural element by installing curtains permanently.

Foeliestraat 2-4 Apartments / Ronald Janssen Architecten

November 2, 2020 Valeria Silva 0

Where historic old Amsterdam and the modern city meet, Ronald Janssen Architecten has designed an imposing building that neither contrasts nor blends in with its surroundings. As you drive down busy Foeliestraat, you’ll notice nos. 2-4, but it won’t be immediately obvious that this is a residential building containing commercial space. Behind its robust brick grid, though, six apartments enjoy a panoramic view of the 16th-century city, anchored by the National Maritime Museum, without being disturbed by the traffic rushing past.
