comprising this public space in Haarlem. Each of the
vertical layers holds it’s own spatial domain.

 R/D EXTENSIONS
NFO, Koprivnica 2015-16, personal acquisition, project lead

The R&D division of Podravka’s industrial complex desired a
reenvisioning of the interior courtyard at one of it’s research
facilities as a scientifically oriented exotic greenhouse that would
at the same time serve as a representative internal public space.
Vertical separation of two domains - systematic aeroponic plant
cultivation and flexible leisure space - were utilised as the defining
elements of design along with total enclosure of the atrium and new
vertical communication routes assigned by the project brief. The
upper part is thus characterised by a superimposition of multiple
Separation of two domains
By subtly separating the scientific and leisure components
of the new greenhouse, the cultivation can achieve
maximum density and catalogisation potential, while the
leisure spaces remain open and flexible.
Superposition of multiple plant layers

layers of plants and their intertwining shadows, scents and tastes

orderly organised into accessible shelf-like units. The lower space
is thereby left completely open and flexible to allow unconstrained
leisure activities and interaction among researchers and guests.
This segment of the extensions is currently awaiting funding.
Multi-purpose shelf structure
By positioning the cultivated plants above the open
space and making the shelf construction loadbearing,
the greenhouse is easily roofed while ensuring maximum
insulation for the plants and a comfortable shadow below.

Flexible leisure space

The public space generated below benefits from the unique
atmosphere while staying open and comfortable.

 Glazed roof
The requested roof envelope is designed to fit the central
loadbearing structure and provide simple natural air
circulation. Rainwater is collected and used to feed the
plants via the aeroponic system.

Cultivation shelves
The dense rows of shelves carrying cultivated plants enable
concentrated scientific efforts while creating a unique
atmosphere in the open space below. Slender dimensions
are achieved by the lightweight aeroponics.

Shelf lowering system

Access to every single plant is achieved trough catwalks
interconnected by stairs and the elevator, or by lowering
individual shelves along the loadbearing structure, thus
enabling partition of the lower open space.

Open space leisure area

The central ground floor area finds itself situated in the
midst of a syneshtetic environment and is reserved as
leisure and idea exchange space for both the research
personnel and management.

 Aeroponic system
Cultivation is enabled by a lightweight,
pressure fed aeroponic system that allows
consecutive transplantation without shock

Varied shelf density

By regulating the height of each superimposed layer of
cultivated plants, Light is allowed to permeate to the lowest tier
before being completely filtered by the multitude of different
species and variants.

Perforated communication lines

Horizontal and vertical communication is designed
to offer minimum reduction to light permeation
while performing it’s function.

 VUKOVAR INTERCULTURAL
NFO, Vukovar 2015-16, competition 1st prize, project lead

The new primary school in Vukovar is set to represent moving away
from the city’s war-inflicted wounds. The new building finds itself
inside a historical workers’ housing area, continuing the established
urban pattern trough contemporary expression. The tough local
planning code is circumvented trough digging in most of the entry
and ground floor spaces into a continual covered passage, finally
surfacing as a protected garden. The central space insolation
problem is remedied trough extensive glazing on the roof and the
northern facade, as a preparation for visual communication with
Protected social space
Digging in the central social spaces of the two-
part school building results in an enclosed but
protected central open space that serves as a
common ground for all the students.
Unorthodox curriculum
Uniformed and traditional classroom layouts
are cast aside in favuor of a more transparent
and multi-floored system that integrates all
classrooms into the common central space.

the planned second construction phase - the sports hall annex.

After co-authoring the winning competition proposal I was
assigned full responsibility over the project’s further development
and successfully secured the building permit and completed the
preparations for the tendering process.
Integrated central space
A strong emphasis is placed on the persistent
interconnection between various classrooms
and areas trough the central space, facilitating
dialogue and spontaneous social interaction.

13
 Limited impact on the surroundings
Care is taken not to disturb the ambient of
an originally worker’s neighbourhood without
sacrificing the desired language of architecture.

Outdoor sports
Pending the second construction phase,
temporary outdoor sports facilities are
provided in the exact same position as the
planned sports hall extension.

Integrated existing structure

The existing building to the side of the main school entrance
is refurbished and reimagined as a library with a direct
connection to the main facilities.

14
 Second phase sports hall
Given the limited space for outdoor sport activities, a sports hall requested by the brief is
planned in the second construction phase as an annex to the school’s northern facade.
The facade’s loadbearing structure is simply mirrored, retaining the favourable reflection
of the existing historical building and preserving the position of activities.

Glazed contact zone

The middle area to which the future sports hall is planned to connect serves also as the
primary source of insolation for the central social space that intertwines the interior of the
school. It’s glazed appearance is meant to contrast the the outer shell of two functionally
different but equally important volumes.

Flexible curriculum
The interior organisation of spaces across three floors is designed to accommodate a
multitude of evolving class configurations that are not constrained from spilling out into
the central social space. Some allow access directly to the protected garden, whilst others
are oriented towards the social centrepoint inside.

Heritage integration
The existing historical, once residential building, is repurposed into a school library and
connected underground by trough a corridor parallel to the lowered entrance square. By
situating the entrance floor lower than the street level, the two buildings, expressions of
their time, are of the same height and complement each other.

Basement floor plan Ground floor plan

The quite simple floor layout allows

the proper positioning of the central
spatial attraction of the building -
the interconnecting social space that
promotes intercultural dialogue.

 Continued urban matrix
The establishment of a contemporary dialogue
with the existing urban pattern is further enhanced
by the reflections of the historical buildings in the
northern glazing.

Two-phased construction
The new school is planned as a pair of volumes
- the first being the school itself, and the second
being the sports hall at the earlier position of the
basketball field.

Enclosed entrance
By lowering the ground and entrance floor, a protected
entrance square is formed that extends trough the building to
the other side, ending in an enclosed garden.

 OSIJEK STUDENT HOUSING
NFO, Campus Osijek 2015-16, compeition 1st prize

A new student housing pavilion requested by the University of Accommodation requirements

Osijek is to provide a whopping 800 lodgings to remedy the
accommodation shortage. The form and typology of the building
were strictly controlled by the local planning code and the brief
program requirements so the required maximum density was
achieved by utilising gallery-style accommodation in the top floor
in order to clear up a a limited yet significant amount of social
space that is used on the outside of the large building to adjust it’s
scale. The formed voids communicate with their surroundings and

bring in much needed light into the extensive network of corridors

that supply a large number of standardised housing units. After
full involvement in the design of the winning competition entry my
work on the project consisted of occasional segments during the
technical elaboration phase.
Social space orientation
Each of the social spaces is intentionally positioned
not only to liven up it’s corresponding facade, but also
establish a coherent and vibrant communication with it’s
surrounding context.

19
 Communicative gable
Optimal positioning of social space allows
the house to make a statement by treating
all five of it’s faces with equally, to facilitate
communication with it’s surroundings.

20
 Permeated and sliced shell
Given the large incisions on the facades and the roof created by allocating the remaining
space to social facilities, the rest of the openings are standardised and kept to a limited
size in order to create a separate aesthetic as well as reduce heating costs while keeping
the room layout flexible.

Interconnected social spaces

Common spaces visible on the facades represent significant but small portion of the
entire floor area allocated to communication and gathering spaces. Incision positioning
helps to alleviate insolation issues while vertical interconnection is facilitated trough
alternated openings in the hallway floors.

Archaeology presentation
The basement space is intentionally inflated to preserve the larges possible amount of
archaeological remains under the bicycle parking garage. The space has access to fresh
air on all sides, not only cutting down on required ventilation facilities but also improving
the aesthetic of the building by subtly lifting it off the ground.

Public space generation

Free space around the new and existing dormitories is integrated into a single public
space - the result of a spillover of interior activities. Multiple different ambients are
organised around a central square, linking different entry points into the campus. A new
bridge connects the new student housing to the canteen, as requested by the brief.

21
The considerably high quantity of required housing units was achieved mostly by the
simples method possible - completely allocating all of the available space to it. Upon
inspecting the limits and creating a social space opportunity through the introduction
of two story roof level units, the available space is allocated to the concentrated and
continued gaps in the facade tissue to permeate the previously bland hallways.
The created social spaces are then populated with common kitchens, study rooms and
living rooms specified by the project brief. The rest of the required technical facilities such
as the boiler room and bicycle parking facilities are situated into the basement in an
enlarged configuration in order to most effectively display the remaining archaeological
finds in the floor.

considerable energy savings and a common identity.

 Year round play-space
Different age groups are given plenty of both partitioned and intertwined activity space
with the potential to direct the overflow - first towards the unheated space underneath
the envelope, and then outwards, to the activity sorted landscape. Even in unfavourable
weather conditions, the transition is gradual, allowing year-round use.
25
Sustainability oriented enclosure
The glasshouse is used not only as intermediary space connecting the differing volumes,
but as well as a transition layer used to minimise heating and cooling expenditure. Roof
terraces and actual vegetation help condition the air,while solar panels on the roof
minimise unwanted summer heat gains, while maximising electricity savings.
The division of individual programme groups and activities was kept very simple trough
the introduction of separate volumes. Large gathering spaces were concentrated towards
the ground floor in order to facilitate interior - exterior contact as much as possible. The
requested multiple entry points are simple to create and easy to control given the open
nature of the envelope.
Most of the service spaces as well as activities in need of isolation because of specific
age groups or conflicting functions are positioned in the basement or on the first
floor, respectively. Ease of access is provided by staircases in the shared airspace of
the glasshouse which make direct entry into each subgroup possible, while the western
elevated hallway serves as a safe fire escape route.

 SCHIPHOL C-PIER
SeARCH, Amsterdam 2017-18, preliminary design

The C-Pier, a segment of the sprawling airside complex at Schiphol
that is comprised of fourteen gates for small to mid-capacity
aircraft, is in dire need of reconstruction as it has not been
updated in almost forty years. In the meantime, crowdedness has
increased multiple-fold and the passenger satisfaction ratings have
plummeted. Thus, a reimagined and extended section is proposed
to alleviate these issues as well as introduce up-to-date installation
systems while enabling continuous operation without taking more
than one gate out of use at one time.
Characteristic section
The existing C-Pier has a characteristic
section consisting of two superimposed
hallways positioned along a series of gates.
Though simple, it is thermally very inefficient.
New envelope
To bring the pier into the 21st century from
a technical standpoint, a new insulating
envelope is introduced, at the same time
creating extra space to reduce crowdedness.

My participation in this preliminary design aside from drafting,

visualising and presentation work also included various

floor, transforming the waiting space.

 Existing and new structure
Contrast between the old concrete loadbering
structure and the new wooden trusses introduces a
new narrative to the interior.

Differentiated ambient
Instead of an existing space with no deviations,
a set of new ambiances is created to offer choice
and comfort in the waiting areas.

Increased capacity
Through optimisation, movement space as well
as available sitting space is almost doubled, while
increasing overall clarity.

28

Existing flow and seating
The existing C-Pier layout is defined by the central, somewhat too narrow moving walkway
that prevents crossing the middle of the long hallway, forcing all passengers to wait directly
in front of their gate. This contributes to the crowdedness and difficulty of moving around
between the gates or additional facilities. Duplication of elevators and staircases is also
present, which further decreases the flow area to a meager 2.2m width at it’s narrowest
Revamped flow and seating
To remedy the situation, a set of changes is introduced. The pier is expanded on the
southwest side by around 2.5 m and the moving walkway is rerouted through the ground
floor - thereby also connecting it and making most other vertical connections redundant.
The created free space is carefully allocated so it increases the previous flow width from
an effective 2.2 m width to a 6.6 m width throughout the length of the pier. This is

point. If trolleys are introduced into the already congested hallways, the flow breaks down
completely, drastically increasing stress and discomfort.
The existing seating is also too crowded, not enabling simultaneous movement and sitting,
without even mentioning carry-on luggage and it’s occasional misplacement. Because of
other inefficiencies, this dense configuration doesn’t even offer sufficient capacity.

at the same time not done at the expense of the seating, which has been expanded
both in terms of quantity and quality, effectively increasing the amount of leg room and
movement space by 33%. At the same time the overall seating capacity in the entire
pier has been increased from 510 seats to 980 seats. This roughly corresponds to the
maximum predicted peak-hour passenger occupancy rate of 70%.

Lounge space conversion

The newly extended waiting space is
formulated as lounge space, achieving
Installations ‘spine’ much more than a mere hallway.
New installation systems are placed next
to the existing ones, also serving as a
structural backbone.

Ground floor travellators

Moving walkways are relocated to
the ground floor to offer a better
vertical connection and free up
additional space.

30
 Reintegration of space
A large amount of current issues with the pier stem from spatial inefficiencies that quickly
add up. Once these are resolved through a series of already mentioned measures, main
focus can be placed on the integration of the different spaces. For example - rerouting
the moving walkway through the ground floor enables better horizontal movement on
the first floor as well as better passenger throughput. Vertical visual conections are also
put in place to enable passengers to sit elsewhere instead of only directly next to their
gate, thereby dispersing the load and increasing comfort. Centralised toiled and horeca
facilities now make sense and are able to serve more customers at once.

31
Phasing methodology
On of the design conditions of the brief was to enable uninterrupted operation as much
as possible, to the limit of placing a maximum of one gate out of use at the same time. To
achieve this, all the new installation systems are planned parallel to the existing ones, this
time positioned on the roof in the form of a spine. This system also acts as a stabilising
element for the new structural extensions that can then be done on two bays at a time.
Once a section of around 6 bays is done, the scaffolding is moved forwards to the next
gate, causing minimal disruption. The ground floor is comprised mostly of bus gates
which can be temporarily replaced elsewhere at the airport complex.
 The new Schiphol
The extended southwestern side of the
pier C-Pier will face the new A-terminal,
thus completing a visual whole.

Expanded choices and comfort

The primary goal of expanded capacity is
complemented by a marked increase in
comfort quality through a wide range of
choices available to the passenger.

Face-lifted ground floor

The bus-gates on the ground floor are to
be brought to the same quality level as
the rest of the pier.

 LOETJE OEGSTGEEST
SeARCH, Amsterdam 2018, VO-DO

The design for a new 1500 m2 lakeside restaurant near Leiden
is defined by a large and carefully shaped thatch roof covering
a sprawling star-shaped open-space layout with varying degrees
of openness towards the surroundings. The overall shape of
the building is largely influenced by the tight plot and material
limitations of the roof, as it was important to ensure that the angle
of at least 45o was maintained even in the roof alley segments to
ensure proper water drainage.
My assignment on the project was based on continuing the design
All-encompassing roof
The complex shape of the restaurant is
enveloped by a large thatch roof which
visually unifies the entire building. Variations
in the roof provide accents.
Central skylight
The peculiar layout of the building creates a

by the roof due to material limitations. It is
therefore used as a central skylight.

process past the initial competition phase and technical elaboration

towards procuring a building permit and subsequent detailing.
During the process I worked autonomously but was incrementally
supervised by a senior colleague. Considerable attention was
given to defining principal details in the early stages.
Unassuming silhouette
The rest of the building form is kept as
simple as possible to accentuate the already
implemented large eaves and differences in
roof height.

33
 Recessed flat roof
A small segment of the roof is flat to
accommodate installations, at the same
time hiding them from view.

Expressive eaves
The concept of one building under one
roof is used both for controlled shading
and accentuation of the final shape.

Thatch roof
Close attention is given to the shape of
the roof so that it respects the constraints
of the material, primarily the max angle.

Given

was necessary to carefully design
the details so they would be easily
applicable in each of the peculiar
different situations created by the
varying roof angles and eave length.
The roof offset in comparison to the
facade line is thus fixed at specific
values and the joints are designed in
a way that enable adjustments.
