The ensemble of four buildings, inspired by Italian palazzos, borders the new park Somerlust and offers a view over the river Amstel. The new residential building offers space for 59 homes consisting of maisonettes, apartments, and penthouses.
This project is a collaboration with AM (part of BAM).
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.

With the departure of Kirsten Hannema after Yearbook 2020 / 2021, a place became available for Uri Gilad in the independent editorial team consisting of Teun van den Ende and Arna Mačkić.
The editors select special projects completed in the past year and describe the most important developments that influence Dutch architecture. The editors are already preparing for the 35th edition, which will be published in May 2022 by nai010 publishers.
“I often compare our job as station architects to gardening. it’s about taking the responsibility to take care of something for a longer period of time, to make step-by-step transformations as opposed to making it a huge project. And this was very unique for us,” says Office Winhov partner Jan Peter Wingender. “And it’s exactly what a building like Amstel Station deserves.”
As of 2021, the project was largely completed, but other interventions will take place in the coming years. The next large phase will involve opening up the station to create a new station hall, and face, to the west towards the Amstel River – while still maintaining the intrinsic unity.
The design for the renovated Amsterdam Amstel Station was provided by Office Winhov in collaboration with Gottlieb Paludan Architects, commissioned by Prorail, NS stations, the municipal transport company GVB and the municipality of Amsterdam.
The prestigious municipal architecture award of the city of Zürich, ‘Auszeichnung für gute Bauten Stadt Zürich’, is founded in 1942 and is only given away every five years for what is considered Zurich’s “most successful buildings”. The Flagship store Bucherer is among the 12 laureates build between 2016 and 2020. As Mayor Corine Mauch said during the award ceremony: “The buildings impressively present the diversity and high-quality development of Zürich.”
The flagship store for the Swiss jeweller Bucherer, designed by Office Haratori and Office Winhov, is a renovation of the existing building from 1961. The building heads a small perimeter block on the corner of Bahnhofstrasse and the historic Kuttelgasse. The existing natural stone facade is replaced with a regular facade grid made up of angled marble elements. The recessed surfaces in the facade contain the windows for the upper floor offices. At the corner, the elements develop into bay windows, orientating the building towards the perspective of the Bahnhofstrasse. The plinth, with typical shop windows, is constructed of poured bronze elements with decorative patterning.

'Design-by-thinking-of-' is a series of invitation-only lectures by and for architects. It’s a new platform for architects to share their thoughts, designs and projects.

Together with Bedaux de Brouwer, Korthtielens and Marcel Lok, Office Winhov works on the design of 14 urban villas in Elzenhagen, Amsterdam North. Commissioned by AM.
The construction of the National Holocaust Museum, in the former theatre Hollandsche Schouwburg and the Hervormde Kweekschool [Reformed Nursery School], has begun. At the beginning of September, the first work becomes visible with partial removal and renovation of the facade. Impression: Abstract reconstructions of the facades of the Hervormde Kweekschool and the new entrance building at Plantage Middenlaan, Amsterdam.

These are several 3D printed variations, with which the first sketches are made. The tower will be experienced in a pleasant way from all sides and from all perspectives. That is why the tower will not have a front, back or side. And in terms of appearance and materials, it will have the elegant and material appearance that belongs to Maastricht.

From the 37 teams that responded to the Open Call for making large city churches more sustainable, the jury has selected nine teams of professionals in the fields of design, sustainability and heritage, including team Studio LA, Bob Geldermans (TU Delft) and Office Winhov. They have been invited to participate in the competition 'Sublime Beauty | Sublime Sustainability', issued by de Rijksbouwmeester en de Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed in collaboration with nine large city churches. The teams were asked to create a vision of the task, to which three urgent themes were suggested. These themes relate to interior space, energy connections and connection to the environment. In June, the jury will select one team per theme to develop the vision into a design.
Office Winhov is responsible for the design of a 65m high residential tower at the August Allebéplein in Amsterdam Nieuw-West by client De Key. The tower comprises of 174 social housing apartments and is part of a new building block. The design is part of the densification of De Westelijke Tuinsteden and follows the ensemble in which the building is located through its horizontal alignment and closed parapets. The use of prefabricated concrete elements provides speed of construction and more control over the quality of construction. The outer shell of these elements also consist of concrete, in different finishes. The load-bearing facades and core enable maximum flexibility within the interior. This flexibility of the plan ensures a long lifespan for the building. Construction will start in the third quarter of 2022.
