Šest domů na ostrově Borneo

Šest domů na ostrově Borneo
Address: Borneokade, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Investor:Smit's Bouwberdrijf B.V.
Completion:09.1996 - 08.2000


The Borneo project is a large scale intervention, in the central harbor at Amsterdam...Our houses are a very small part of it...
We depart from the existing planning conditions;a house on each side of the street...
We transform it into a single long house that faces both streets...
The first hypothesis is the abstract planning...
a single long house from street to street...
Then, the small street that existed in the planning becomes an empty house...
We'd like to investigate the Dutch tradition about single room constructions...
From this abstract hypothesis, a much more intuitive way of working with living conditions is developed...
I like to play with abstract dimensions that later will become living conditions....
