The Whale
Address
Baron G. A. Tindalplein 1
1019 TW Amsterdam
Netherlands
.
The Whale is one of three big “meteorites” which have landed
in-between the lowrise row houses on the Islands of Borneo and
Sporenburg. Thanks to its sculptural shape, this building by Frits
van Dongen is a real landmark. Inside are 194 apartments and
1100 m2 office and retail space. Underneath is a large parking
garage with 179 places. The traditional closed block (100 by 60
m) has been transformed by lifting the two, so the public space
flows through underneath. Inside the block is a private garden,
designed by West 8. The apartments are accessed from galleries
running along the inner façade.

Stadgenoot pavilion
Address
Sarphatistraat 370
1018 GW Amsterdam
Netherlands
http://www.stadgenoot.nl/
.
This pavilion is part of a renovation Steven Holl did for Het
Oosten, a housing developer in Amsterdam. Since a merger in
2008 Het Oosten is part of Stadgenoot.The old brick building
(1889) on the De Singel canal in Amsterdam was originally built as
a storage for medicine. With this pavilion the housing developer
wanted to explain its views on sustainable building with the use
of ornaments. The pavilion is 285 m2 big, and 7 meter high. It can
house gatherings from 20 up to 280 persons. The pavilion is not
open to the public and is currently used by the people who work
at Stadgenoot, for their lunch breaks.

La Defense
Address
W. Dreesweg 14
1314 CL Almere
Netherlands
.
La Defense office complex exists out of two volumes that
surround a inner courtyard. The exterior façade reflects the
larger urban condition, with silver-colored aluminium panels,
while the interior façades of the courtyards have been designed
with the office tenants in mind. These façades are clad with glass
panels in which a multi-colored foil is integrated and, depending
on the time of day and the angle of incidence, a variety of
different colours are reflected, animating the courtyards.

Borneo Sporenburg Bridges
Address
Panamakade 144
1019 AX Amsterdam
Netherlands
http://www.amsterdamdocklands.com
.
Two red steel bridges span the water between the residential
islands Sporenburg and Borneo. The pedestrian bridge is very high
and designed as an architectural walk, taking pedestrians to a
height where they have a spectacular view over the surrounding
patio houses and also allowing sail boats to access a small
marina. The lower bridge at the opposite end of the harbour is
made for disabled persons, buggies and bikes.

How to get there
The nicest way to go to the Eastern Docklands, is to take the
boat from the Central Station to the Java-island. It leaves from
behind the central station, at pier 7. It's a free ride, and takes
about 10 min, to the head of the Java-island. From there it's
about 15 min walking to the KNSM-island and 20 min to
Sporenburg and Borneo.

Borneo Sporenburg
Address
C. van Eesterenlaan 41
1019 JK Amsterdam
Netherlands
http://www.amsterdamdocklands.com
.
A total of 2500 dwellings have been built on the two former
harbour peninsulas Borneo and Sporenburg. The area was covered
with a carpet of low-rise/high-density back-to-back patio
houses, interrupted by 3 large landmark buildings. Various
architects each designed a type of patio house, which were
grouped in small clusters and re-appear in several places on the
islands. The main challenge was to develop a typology in which a
small patio provides daylight and private outdoor space for the
inhabitants.

Borneo Sling
Address
P. Dijkstraplein 2
1019 WE Amsterdam
Netherlands
.
At the end of a row-housing with patios and an internal corridor
with garages, this 3 storey apartment block is made by using the
ending of the concrete tunnel structure. The concrete tunnel
construction is a very common way to built series of row-housing
in the Netherlands. This project is an atypical solution to the
inevitably end of such a row. The block of dwellings has been cut
of at the end of the line, and here 3 spacious apartments with
terraces have been built. The apartments have their façade over
the full width of the block, giving them a panoramic view over
the IJ. The space in-between the balconies is filled with several
glazed rooms, executed in different colors, symbolizing the
functions and giving the spectator a view of what could be inside.

Silverline
Address
Hengelostraat 101
1324 Almere
Netherlands
http://www.stadshartalmere.tk/
.
Built on the edge of the Weerwater lake, the artificial lake at the
heart of this sprawling, polynuclear polder town (translated:
‘again-water’- since Almere is built on reclaimed land…and after
that, a new lake was planned), it contains 58 apartments, just
outside Almere’s town centre, which, two decades after its
construction, is undergoing a major transformation orchestrated
by Rem Koolhaas’s Office for Metropolitan Architecture. The
façade is made with aluminum cladding, like a tight skin -hence
the name. The meander form reinforces the logo-like singularity
of this building while at the same time catering to market
practical demands: there are plenty of takers for the top and
bottom levels, far fewer for the middle. The middle has therefore
been reduced to a minimum and the top and foot maximized. An
equally rigid logic informs the distribution of windows, which is a
direct reflection of the rooms they serve. Each window is
positioned symmetrically in the central axis of a room.

Address
Reimerswaalstraat 1
1069 AE Amsterdam
Netherlands
.
This housing for elderly people is probably one of the most
published architecture projects of its times and also from
Holland. Its very powerful image is the result of urban policy: the
architects couldn't place all the 100 apartments in a linear
building, because there was a height restriction. Thus the
overhang volumes: all the apartments that couldn't fit into the
linear volume where hang on the northern side, with a east-west
orientation.

The Angle
Address
Citadel
Almere
Netherlands
.
The Angle, Almere the Netherlands is a four storey mixed use
housing and retail project containing 54 dwellings and 3900 m2 of
retail space completed in 2007. In 1996, Office of Metropolitan
Architects (OMA) began developing a masterplan for Almere that
would provide 1000 new housing units and a host of other
cultural facilities such as shops, a museum, library and theatre.
S333 worked alongside internationally renowned architects
including Rem Koolhaas, Kazuyo Sejima, Gigon and Geyer,
MVRDV, UN Studio, SeArch, Christian Portzamparc, William Alsop
and David Chipperfield. The Angle (block 7 + 9) is the final
project in OMA’s masterplan to complete and it signifies the
completed construction of Almere’s brand new city centre that is
expected to reach up to 250,000 inhabitants by 2010.
