In the northern part of the Deflandplein area in the Slotervaart district in Amsterdam, ANA architecten has designed a housing block of 106 dwellings. In the Northern part of the Delflandplein the open urban fabric will be replaced by closed building blocks, to increase density in the area and to formalize the public domain.
The project is a hybrid building; it refers both to the original open and transparent postwar city as to the new formal city with enclosed building blocks. The building is presented as a formal closed block, in which the organization of the dwellings follows sun orientation as in the modernistic housing slabs. Therefore, the building cannot be dissected in a formal exterior and an informal interior.
The project provides in a big variety of housing types for many different groups, from studio’s for singles to city-appartments for big families. The building contains dwellings for purchase as well as for rent. This mix is possible by means of a variation in access typologies, outdoor spaces and floor areas per dwelling.
The building consists of five storeys. The two lowest layers are recessed and thereby soften the transition between public and private. The maisonettes on the ground floor are accesible from the street. They have a garden at the courtside of the building. Six porches give acces to the apartments, trough corridors or galleries. The quality of the dwellings lies in their specific place in the block and the relation with ground, roof or corner. The diverse range of housingtypes meets the diversity of society in general. Diversity is reached by ways of accessibility, the typology of outdoor spaces and useable surface. In this way, the full range between single households and big families is covered.
Within a generic concept for the facades, in which both formal and informal use, front and back, interior and exterior merge, the clusters of dwelling types as well as the individual dwellings are identifiable. The skin of the building consists out of two layers: a transparent outer skin and an orange inner skin. In between these two skins galleries, balconies and terraces evolve.
The glass of the exterior skin is provided with a dotted relief, which generates an abstract yet tactile effect.
