Rietveld Pavilion at the Kröller-Müller Sculpture Garden, Arnhem, Netherland

In 1955, Gerrit Rietveld (1884-1964) designed a pavilion for the display of small sculptures at the Third International Sculpture Exhibition in Arnhem’s Sonsbeek Park.

This ‘Sonsbeek Pavilion’ was intended as a temporary structure, and it was dismantled when the exhibition was over. However, many people had been greatly impressed by its simplicity, and ten years later, on the initiative of several Dutch architects, the building found a permanent home in the Kröller-Müller Museum’s sculpture garden, under a new name: the ‘Rietveld Pavilion’. On 8 May 1965 the pavilion was officially inaugurated with an exhibition of sculptures by Barbara Hepworth.

Today, in 2010, the museum has rebuild the structure with new materials, while adhering as closely as possible to Gerrit Rietveld’s original design. Wherever possible, parts of the 1965 pavilion that were still in adequate condition have been reused. Construction work began in January 2010 and finished in September of this year.

Het Zwarte Huis Bakers Architecten, Utrecht, Netherland

Dutch firm Bakers Architecten completed these brick-clad apartments in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Its appear to float above a curtain wall of glass.

Het Zwarte Huis, or The Black House, is spread across three storeys with the upper two, which comprise six apartments, finished in Kolumba bricks. The ground floor, which forms an office, has become the architect’s new premises. The block sits on the apex of a curved street with a double-height bay window affording panoramic views.

Here’s some more from the architects:

In Utrecht’s museum quarter, just south of the city centre, there was for many years a vacant plot on the corner of Lange Nieuwstraat and Vrouwjuttenstraat. This site in the midst of historical buildings is now occupied by ‘Het Zwarte Huis’ (The Black House), a complex containing six apartments with semi-underground parking and the new premises of Bakers Architecten.

The streetscape is characterized by heterogeneous, lot-by-lot development with distinctive corner buildings. Het Zwarte Huis is a contemporary addition to the existing urban fabric, in which the notion of ‘living above work’ has been accentuated by placing the dwellings in a solid volume on top of a glazed podium.

L-Shaped House by NAT Architects, Amsterdam, Netherland

NAT Architecten designed this L-shaped house that occupies a lot right between the street an the water.

The side that faces the street is just one level and the side that faces the water is three level with a fully transparent facade. The ground floor is a loft-like space with a timber panel that divides the children’s place to play and the parents place to cook and meet with friends. The other two levels are divided between parent and children so they have their own privacy.

Modern House Patio by VMX Architects, Amsterdam, Netherland

The patio with the kitchen is an open space on the first floor. The sitting room, or lounge with a view of the garden and the street, is situated above the kitchen.

House Vvg by Grosfeld van der Velde Architecten, Vianen, The Netherlands

The house is designed from the inside out, as a series of connected spaces. Within the whole each space has its own character and its own relation with the landscape.

Grosfeld van der Velde Architecten designed this residence that is situated on the edge of Vianen, a city in the centre of Holland.

The view on the southwest side is magnificent and will remain unbuilt. The beautiful view is that of a typical Dutch landscape of open fields with lines of trees.

As a limiting condition for this site the city prescribed a gutter height of 4 meter and a country style of building.

Form and material remind traditional ways of building in the Dutch countryside, although the house has a distinct character as opposed to the prefabricated country-style of the other houses in the street.

The house is designed from the inside out, as a series of connected spaces. Within the whole each space has its own character and its own relation with the landscape.

Home 06 by i29, Amserdam, Netherland

Dutch interior architects i29 have completed a new project in Amsterdam, featuring one interior wall covered in plants. Called Home 06, the single-storey residence was designed for a Japanese client.

Some information from the designers:

This residence at the Singel, Amsterdam (NL) exists from one open space where several functions have been put into freestanding objects. The kitchen and wardrobe are placed near the entrance and combined into one single volume.

The bath- and bedroom is hided into a volume which is placed at back of the house. From the open living area you look alongside the volume towards the vertical garden and the entrance stairs to the roof terrace.

The view on the green wall holds a promise in itself which will be redeemed once you enter the bed/bathroom.

The small measurements of this combined bed and bathroom are in contrast with its spacioucesness, while containing a private and personal feeling.

The panorama on the overgrown plantwall and the contrast with the minimalistic white bed/bathroom provides an intense experience. Integration of nature is an important aspect of traditional culture in Japan, the homeland of the client.

The integrated in-house vertical garden is an example of this. Other features where simplicity and minimalist details.

The project is nominated for the Bathroom design awards 2010.

PostPanic office interior by Maurice Mentjes, Amsterdam, Netherland

Dutch interior and furniture designer Maurice Mentjes, designed a new office interior for the advertising agency PostPanic in Amsterdam, Netherland.

PostPanic is a company with a combination of a design and a production studio that produces both commercial projects for the international advertising, retail, broadcast and music industries and its own internal projects.

In the briefing, functionality was the biggest priority. To ensure a constant quality, PostPanic purposely chooses to produce, direct, design and animate in-house to stay truth to their original vision, once in production. This approach requires that the various departments of PostPanic each have their clearly divided and defined areas. But at the same time PostPanic required to maintain as much as possible the openness and transparency that the place offered.
