Terraced Houses
Address Telefoonstraat 4 4702 PH Roosendaal Netherlands

These modern houses have a spectacular glass faade for the living room and a void connecting the ground floor with the living spaces on the upper floor, even though the client wanted a traditional housing floor plan, typical for this region of the Netherlands. Each house is designed with the possibility to enlarge or extend in the future. On the upper floor lie an atelier-space, two bedrooms and the bathroom. These and other modern but reserved and deceptively simple designs give credence to the firms slogan specific neutrality. In October 2005 Olivier Thill received the biennial Rotterdam-Maaskant prize for young architects.

Sint-FelixPakhuis
Address Oude Leeuwenrui 29 2000 Antwerp Belgium http://www.felixarchief.be

The Antwerp City Archives moved to the monumental 1859 warehouse Sint-FelixPakhuis, completely restored and renovated by Robbrecht en Daem (based in Gent, Belgium) together with Grontmij Vlaanderen. They renovated the whole interior in such a way the internal structure of the building hardly changed and every intervention can be undone. On the ground floor are public functions like library and entrance. The next 4 floors are occupied with archives, kept in 18 separate concrete containers to provide optimum atmosphere and fire-prevention. The attic is completely refurbished and renewed to make fit for a new reading hall, meeting rooms and conference halls. The whole roof had to be replaced by a new wooden roof, appended with 3 glass atriums for more daylight. These glass boxes are seen from the nearby dock, the Willemdok. The concept of wood was subsequently used throughout the interior, for walls, floors and furniture. All furniture was custom made, designed by Robbrecht en Daem.

Middelheim Museum Pavilion

Address Middelheimlaan 61 2020 Antwerp Belgium http://museum.antwerpen.be/middelheimopenluchtmuseum

The Middelheim Museum is an open-air museum for modern sculpture in a 27 ha park, with works by, among others, Jean Arp, Dan Graham, Per Kirkeby, Henry Moore, Panamarenko, Franois Pompon, Auguste Rodin, Joep Van Lieshout and Ossip Zadkine. To house smaller sculptures, more fragile works from the collection and temporary exhibitions, Renaat Braem (1910 2001), one of the most important Belgian post-war architects, was commissioned to design an exhibition hall. Renaat Braem, in 1936 apprenticed to Le Corbusier, was influenced by the CIAM ideology. Throughout his career he saw architecture as the art of organising space in order to liberate human kind. His architecture gradually adopted a more organic style, which is apparent in this pavilion. The design is based on harmonic unity and organic interwovenness of architecture and nature. The shape of the skylights emphasises even more the expressive sculptural character of the pavilion.

Court of Justice
Address Bolivarplaats 20 2000 Antwerp Belgium http://www.just.fgov.be/

The Court of Justice in Antwerp is a design of Richard Rogers Partnership, VK Studio and Ove Arup & Partners. It is located south of the centre of the city along the highway, so it is easily reachable. The building attracts attention by the sharp shapes on the roof, covered with a sparkling silver colour. The building is performed in grey with brightly coloured yellow/green detailed elevators. The central hall is reachable by a huge wooden stairs, from which you experience the building.

Atlas Building
Address Carnotstraat 110 2060 Antwerp Belgium

The Atlas building accommodates several departments for the administration of the city of Antwerp such as cultural integration, language offices and a material rent-out. There are open plan offices and individual offices, a large reception space and an exhibition space at the ground floor. The renovated concrete structure and a new building form a courtyard that connects to the public exposition space. The deep construction of the ground and first floor is compensated by a glazed atrium that connects the floors visually and physically. The atrium allows natural light at the reception desk and also helps visitors orientate themselves after they enter the building. A system of concrete columns and slabs, with a core containing circulation and sanitation, forms the structure of the building. The generality of the open plan and the repetitive openings make it possible for the program to change in the future.

De Natie
Address Gijzelaarsstraat 20-22 2000 Antwerp Belgium

This building's boundary lies within an historical inner courtyard. The project attempts -through its faades and its connection with the inner courtyard- to fit effortlessly within this significant part of Antwerp. The faade's structure, the system of openings, the use of limited materials and a sensitivity to its setting within the courtyard all integrate the project into its context. At the same time every floor gets its own large sun terrace. The shell construction was conceived in such a way that it could also function as a finished state. This strategy saves material and time and results in a more economical building, at the same time enhancing flexibility and sustainability. Whilst the building suites the current tenant's needs perfectly, it offers a wide range of possibilities for later generations.

Zuiderterras Antwerp
Address Ernest Van Dijckkaai 37 2000 Antwerp Belgium http://www.zuiderterras.be

bOb Van Reeth about the Zuiderterras: 'During a period of forty years an empty socle stood on this beautiful spot. With my project I refer to what there was before: a classical building that served as a caf just as the Zuiderterras now.' The Zuiderterras' name is derived from the promenade with the same name along the 'Schelde' river quays. Transparency of the building was the starting point from bOb Van Reeth. This expresses itself in the choice of the materials: metal combined with a lot of glass. The interior was further completed with warm wood and transparent linen curtains. The alternation of mirrors and large windows creates an atmosphere of infinite space and connection with the river. Along the waterside of the restaurant you can observe the passing vessels. Along the other side ogles the ancient city with its towers, but also here you can see the ships passing in the mirrors.

MAS
Address Nieuwpoortkaai 2000 Antwerp Belgium http://www.mas.be/

The MAS (Museum aan de Stroom) is located on an island (het Eilandje) in the heart of the old harbour close to the city centre. It will house 3 different collections (the Volkskundemuseum, the National Maritime museum and partly Het Vleeshuis). The new museum was a winning design of an open architecture competition, a 60m high tower with stacked exhibition spaces, in total 10 storeys. Each level is twisted 90 degrees to form a giant spiral. This glazed space becomes a vertical galleria. Elevators guide the visitors to the top of the building in a journey through the history of Antwerp and through the panoramas of the city. On the upper floor a restaurant, a conference room and a sky deck are situated. Square, docks and tower are designed to form one continuous space for exhibitions and events. The stacked concept refers to the old warehouses where goods were packed and stacked. Now Antwerp's history, traditions, artefacts, stories and objects are stacked in one new warehouse.

Square Stadsschouwburg Antwerpen

Address Theaterplein 1 2000 Antwerp Belgium http://www.stadsschouwburgantwerpen.be

Studio Associato Secchi-Vigano (Milan, Italy) was invited to prepare a draft of the Theater Square and its surroundings. The design runs from wall to wall and is characterized by three distinctive features: transparent canopy structure, eliminating the difference in street level between the building of the theatre and thirdly the square with the "modern garden". The canopy structure and the garden provide the uniqueness of the new Theater Square and bring the square back "to scale" and in relation to the built environment. With these changes the square obtained it a better and more qualitative and aesthetic appearance. The "modern garden" is a more green space, with enough trees and space to linger. The lifting of the level between the theater and public space increases the convenience and accessibility.

Roosendaal Pavilion
Address Nieuwe Markt 23 4701 Roosendaal Netherlands http://www.paviljoenroosendaal.nl/

The idea behind the urban proposal was that the pavilion would divide the square in two parts in such a way that you would still have the feeling of being on one big square. Because of the market activities which occupy the entire square twice a week, the terraces of the pavilion needed to be placed above the ground floor. Originally the terraces could only be reached by going through the pavilion. Ren van Zuuk decided to make the terraces accessible from the outside of the building as well so you can walk from the square up onto the sloped roof to the terraces, letting the roof become a public area. The entrances from the roof to the building are made by cuts in the sloped surface, giving every floor its own terrace. The rest of the roof acts as a big stage which allows artists to give performances in front of the building.On the south side the pavilion reaches its highest point. This part of the building cantilevers over the main entrance of the parking garage.
