Merel Pit visited Leiden's City Hall and explains how the project builds with history (not on top of history).

Lieven de Key and Bot Bouw signed the contract for the residential tower at August Allebéplein. Soon housing will be there for 174 young people. Office Haratori and Office Winhov designed this sustainable 20-floor 65-metre residential tower. The design was inspired by the post-war reconstruction architecture of the surrounding neighbourhood. Focusing on forming a community, the tower features a common room on the ground floor and a communal roof terrace.

A design for one of the new urban villas in Elzenhagen, Amsterdam North. The building is part of an urban plan for sixteen urban villas in a park landscape which calls for buildings with a sculptural quality. We are doing this by emphasizing the brickwork by using a special bond which is clearly not loadbearing. This bond is the basis for the dimensions of the villa.

Commissioned by AM
Urban planning: Municipality of Amsterdam
Landscape design: Buro Sant en Co
The other buildings are designed by Marcel Lok, Korthtielens and Bedaux de Brouwer
Render: Filippo Bolognese

In anticipation of the presentation of the Lieven de Key Penning 2022, Jan Peter Wingender is participating in a discussion about the use of heritage on Wednesday 16 November in the (splendid) Hodshon House in Haarlem. With a series of expert speakers with various perspectives they will discuss the so-called ‘Heritage Paradox’. Organised by ABC Architectuurcentrum Haarlem.

"Leiden's City Hall has been surgically restored to a design by Office Winhov. Due to the subtle interventions, it is no longer clear to the visitor where old and new meet. New interventions fit convincingly into existing architecture. The result is an un-Dutch building." –de Architect

Office Winhov designed the folly 'Het Sint-Annabolwerk'. The model is on display at the ‘Brick’ exhibition, Kunsthal KAdE in Amersfoort.
 

The ‘Brick’ exhibition pays tribute to the material with work by more than fifty artists, architects, and designers from home and abroad. In new and existing work, they show the beauty and expressiveness of baked stone. ‘Brick’ can be seen from 10 September, 2022 to 8 January, 2023 in Kunsthal KAdE, the Elleboogkerk and via a tour through Amersfoort with new follies and existing buildings.

The ensemble of four buildings, inspired by Italian palazzos, borders the new park Somerlust and will overlook the river Amstel. The new ensemble offers space to 59 homes – in the form of maisonettes, apartments, and penthouses.

Housing project Amstelkwartier 6a, Amsterdam is a collaboration with AM (part of BAM).

The KB is working together with the Rijksvastgoedbedrijf ['Central Government Real Estate Agency'] on the realisation of an innovative new book warehouse, in which the national library will preserve the printed and written heritage of the Netherlands sustainably and safely for the future. The warehouse is designed by Office Winhov and will be in the Harnaschpolder in the municipality of Midden-Delfland.

Jan Peter Wingender, partner of Office Winhov, says he is honoured to be able to design the new book warehouse for the KB. “We are really looking forward to creating a design that stands the test of time and safeguards the contents of the building. In a contemporary facade, we want to express, among other things, the materiality of paper, the curves of an open book, the relief of printed matter and the mass of the stored books.'

“In the course of the interview, it became clear that the quality of Macintosh’s built work is also indivisible from the other defining aspect of her career: her activism.”

This article forms a chapter in a series formulated to shed greater light on the practices and innovations of leading women architects. The series is the result of the conversations and collective editorial work of a group of female colleagues and friends who want to highlight the work of women heroes who inspire them. While discovering more about the œuvres and design principles of three female architects – Cini Boeri, Margaret Kropholler and Kate Macintosh – we also came to realise our true motivation behind the project was a shared desire for an increased diversity of role models.

A retail space of approximately 1,100 m² will be built on the Kalverstraat on the ground floor, basement and first floor. With a facade that respects the historical proportions. On the parallel street, the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, an inviting office entrance is being created, which leads to the redeveloped upper floors and new office spaces on the second and third floors on the Kalverstraat side.

The new hotel on Mauritskade in Amsterdam is out of scaffolding – and shows some exciting masonry.

From summer 2022 onwards Office Winhov has a vacancy for an internship. Application must include a motivation letter, CV, and portfolio. Please send addressed to Aeliane van den Ende – and inspire us all!
