The city inside the city

Location: Marine terrain Amsterdam

Function: Residential housing and public spaces

A place relatively isolated from the city of Amsterdam. The Marine terrain is, in this way, a treasure in the big city. Cut off by the water as a physical boundary and a wall as a physical and visual boundary. How do you deal with the fact that this place is going to be open to the public and is changed into an urban ensemble? How do you separate the public and the private spaces? The wall as the characteristic of the Marine terrain will be incorporated into the urban and architectural design. It is a border between the buildings and private spaces. The outside of the building block will have a tough look and will form the protector of the inside spaces. The inside will have an individual appearance. The wall, buildings, public and private spaces are merged into one urban ensemble.

The wall as the protector and as the identity of the Marine terrain.
