Craftsmanship, innovative and full service

We create environments that move people, where

people work better, learn better, and enjoy themselves

more. We create environments such as public spaces,

public buildings, and urban districts. These are places

where unique encounters occur, where beautiful

memories are made, and where important decisions

are taken.

We are actively involved from the initial sketch to the

opening. We still have the same carpenter’s work ethic

and focus on accuracy as we did at our founding in

1927, combined with all the knowledge, adaptability,

and vision we’ve developed since then.

In creating these environments, we take our inspiration

from socially relevant themes. We want to improve live-

ability in cities, help people to work effectively and with

enjoyment, inspire children to learn and help them

have fun while doing it, design buildings that are like

trees, make existing buildings more sustainable, relieve

our clients of worry, and create, connect, and inspire

design teams.

In order to create added value for our clients, we focus

on six specific areas:

1. complex urban projects

2. new working concepts

3. learning environments

4. cradle-to-cradle construction

5. transformation

6. integrated contracts

Can clay replace cement? This is the question Dirk Jan Postel, Philippe Cour-celles and Hans Köhne asked them-selves. The answer: not quite, but 60% in the case of low strength concrete. They developed the so-called ‘soft’ concrete in the context of the Case Studies Prefab Beton organized by Ce-ment & Concrete Centre. Four teams came up with several new applications of concrete.

According to Dirk Jan Postel innova-tion of precast concrete can go in two directions. First of all Technological like high strength concrete. Or ecologi-cal, whereby the hardness of concrete matches the softness of nature.By adding clay Postel, Courcelles and Köhne soften concrete.

Breathing and absorbing concreteThe advantages of using of clay in stead of cement are:

- Better moisture management as clay absorbs moisture- Flexibility, as the clay is easy to re-move and replace- Clay gives the hard cold concrete and a warm atmosphere

The result is a breathing, absorbing and acoustic façade consisting of concrete and clay sections. You can think of dif-ferent forms like alternating strips of concrete and clay or an organic pattern. Several case studies were featured on Gevel 2014.

The reopened museum Kranenburgh Bergen - designed by Kraaijvanger - has already welcomed a record number of visitors.

Since its official opening on 12 Novem-ber last year, more than 12,000 people visited the museum. In the old museum Kranenburgh recieved annually25,000 to 30,000 visitors. “This is above all expectations,’’ says director Kees Wi-eringa.

Prior to the opening exhibition WON-DER Kranenburgh showed the work of photographers Ata Kandó and Hellen van Meene. The exhibition attracted a large audience and put the number of visitors to 20,000 from September 1 to January 1, 2014.

WONDER can be visited until March 30.

"Hundreds of white and black balls disappear in the reinforcement cages of the floors of the new Almelo city hall." Alex J. de Haan photographed the proces. His gorgeous photo-graph made the Cobouw of last 6 December."Weavers secure the air-filled balls in the floor system, which saves weight because they have to do less concreting.”

Construction is progressing steadily. The completion is expected late next year.

From January 1, 2014 Kraaijvanger has two new partners: Annemiek Bleumink (1979 ) and Vincent van der Meulen (1982) Kraaijvanger partners. Bleumink is espe-cially dedicated to preserve existing buildings. Last year is finised the the Groenhorst College in Barneveld, Het Dok in Rotterdam and as a project architect the Early Child-hood Center in Wassenaar. Van der Meulen is specialized in sustainable innovations and is now working on town hall Almelo, the RDW office in Veendam and the municipal office Venlo.

The partner group now consists out of Dirk Jan Postel, Hans Goverde, Annemiek Bleumink and Vincent van der Meulen with Daniela Schelle as associate partner. Hans van Schuylenburch stays connected as advisor. The new partner group is ready for the future and aims to let as many peo-ple as possible as long as possible enjoy her designs.

Townhall Almelo under construction

Kraaijvanger found new partners

Cityhall Almelo

The new City Hall of Almelo is situated on a new square along the water in a green setting. It is an example for sustainable public buildings as it has a BREEAM-NL Excellent certificate.

All representative functions are placed in the low rise building. An inviting public hall guides the pedestrian route from the city centre to the central station of Almelo. A monumental staircase leads to the council chamber on the first floor, where large windows offer a panoramic view on the surroundings. Here are also the administra-tive areas and the conference centre situated. The offices are located in the towers, arranged around a communal open space which functions as a communal meeting area.

The split level floors are connected by stairs and create an attractive connected and diverse working environment. Parking is solved on the roof of the low rise, which is mainly executed as a green roof. The parking deck accom-modates approximately 100 cars.The innovative composite façade of the towers protects the interior against the sun.

project

Jacco Selles As interior designer I’m responsible for the entire interior of cityhall Almelo. I’m in-volved from the first sketch to the implementation. All the colors and materials, both architectural and interior, are carefully matched. My goal is to make the building and the interior as a whole. Open-ness and transparency play a major role in the design of cityhall Almelo. A good design can only be achieved with an enthusiastic client. In this case we are lucky to have one, which means that the initial sketches are going to be reality!

Patrick Keijzer I was responsible for the cost estimates of the ideas and elaborations of city hall Almelo. During the process several variations were calculated. One of the variants was the to cancel the top floor. In the end the building is realized lower than first designed. The project is out to tender within budget.

Very special about the design is the parking facility on the roof of the civic center which can be reached by car lift. Besides that the façade is made out of plastics and the office floors are staggered.

David Hess Together with Vincent van der Meulen I was the project architect of city hall Almelo. I was involved from the tender to the final design. One of the main challenges was to solve the spacial puzzle: what’s the best place for the public hall, the council chamber, offices, archives and parking? I was also concerned with the façade design which is based on a strong dichotomy per tower with a more closed southern façade and a transparent northern façade.

Most stiking about the building I find the parking on top of the basement, the large, sloping façade elements in two colors and the split level floors of the two towers.

Vincent van der Meulen Cityhall Almelo is a very special project to me as I was born in Almelo. As the lead designer of our design team I had the overall responsibility for this project. For me this meant being involved from the conceptual beginning to the last detail-decisions. I had the pleasure to work within our design team, which is full of talent and experience. One of the most important parts of my role is to keep close contact with the clients, understand them better than they understand themselves. So we can anticipate on their future demands and wishes.

For the office concept we have created a program of requirements together with the client on how their future workplace can be more effective, sustainable and fun. This resulted in a building of a 1000sm2 smaller (more effective) than they expected; a marvellous state-of-the-art working environ-ment placed in two dynamically connected towers. The result strikes the perfect balance between being ‘one organiszation’ and the intimacy and diversity that is needed for an inspiring working environment.

The project had a very complicated political dimension. We had to supporte our client intensively in making this project feasible within the political context. We have reached an incredible cost-effective-ness realizing a very sustainable building (BREEAM excellent) which seemed impossible for the given budget. But we made it happen. The result is a city hall that is hyper-accessible and invites people more than ever to participate and be part of the cities future. Just like what good city hall should be.

Vincent van der Meulen“It’s performance, stupid!”

“Good architecture takes our world view and our social values and concerns and crystallizes them into a physical, permanent building.” According to Vincent van der Meulen, this means that buildings are a snapshot in time of the constantly developing spirit of the age. By 2050, there will likely be nine billion people living on the earth, the average age will be nine years older than it is now, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities, and the world will need 70% more food than it does now. What does this mean for the ways in which we live, work, and enjoy ourselves?

What will be the effect of the future scenario you describe on the way we work? “In order to keep up with human progression, we will need to work smarter, harder, and longer. People will have to be able to be highly productive until they are seventy. Education and health care will take an extremely impor-tant role in this regard. Large top-down infrastructures will be difficult to maintain. Innovations in technology and systems will be necessary in order for nine billion people to live on the planet in increasing prosperity.”

What role will architecture take in this?“Buildings will have to contribute to this. They will have to produce and recycle scarce resources like drinking water, heat, cooling, electricity, clean air, raw materials, and food.”

“In 2050 buildings will be active nodes in a complex smart grid which has the structure of the internet. Buildings will not be self-sufficient, but they will be specialized in producing a scarce substance and will earn money doing so. The smart grid will make it possible to value, exchange, and distribute (as locally as possible) resources like energy and water. The specialization of buildings will result in remarkable new architecture. I expect things like fully energy-absorbing buildings which store as much sunlight as possible, façades which produce food and algae, water-purifying foundations, and roofs which rotate to face the sun so as to generate as much electricity as possible.”

In what way will these producing buildings be used?“The boundaries in time and space between working, living, culture, and recreation will be blurred even further. It will be possible to work anywhere and at any time, but people will primarily work both in rooms and with tech-nology designed to enhance performance. This means that buildings and the rooms within them will need to be adaptive and diverse. The senses will be stimulated so as to create exactly the right circumstances for the desired performance. Only the most adaptive organizations and buildings will survive, so flexibility will be essential.”

“By this time, it will be possible to print completely new interiors in three dimensions using mobile robot arms. It may even be possible to print completely new buildings in this way. The raw materials used for three-dimensional printing will be reusable. This will make it possible to

create new spatial and sensory settings inexpensively, sustainably, and quickly. Lighting, screens, chairs, and installations will be smart and will communicate with each other. They will be leased on short-term contracts rather than purchased. In this way the building will become a performance-enhancing raw material bank which is replenished with increasing frequency.”

To what extent will these buildings also contribute to the well-being of humans? “In 2050, the scientific study of happiness will be very active, constantly presenting new discoveries, and will have proven that materialism brings more emptiness than happiness. Major factors in long-term happiness will be proven to be the experience and creation of beauty, nature, gaining new insights, health, great diversity in types of personal relationships, and experiencing unique moments and encounters.”

“To promote more diversity, every city will have a major ecological structure. Live organisms and growing matter will be used as foundations, façades, and furniture. In part because of advances in biochemistry, the boundaries between nature and the artificial will be blurred. Building materials will be chosen for their positive impact on the environment or perhaps for their ability to purify the air.”

“Because of increasing digitization, contact with people will be ubiquitous. This will give new meaning to physical encounters and privacy, two highly valued yet scarce social phenomena. Special spaces will be created in buildings to this end. For instance, there will be privacy rooms where you can go to relax and where there will be no electronic equipment. Buildings will be places for physical, real-life encounters, the connective tissue of society.”

What is your ultimate dream for the future?“That research will discover the basic rules behind the experience of ugliness. This will make it possible to slowly eliminate all ugliness from the built environment and to replace it with more beautiful buildings or with nature. But I think that the secret of beauty will unfortunately remain a mystery for a long time.”

project

Cityhall Venlo The brief for the new City Hall presented a unique challenge in the form of stringent sustainability requirements set by Venlo municipality, which is the first region in the world to seek full implementation of the Cradle-to-Cradle principles. This resulted in an unique design process and an extraordinary (vi-sionary) building that combines a comfortable working environment with sus-tainable innovations.

The project incorporates several strategies to guarantee sustainability: the heavily polluted air from the adjacent road is cleaned by the building and cooled down with the help of the Maas River and the underground car park; the offices and glass house generate heat for the surrounding homes by implementation of a geothermal heat pump; rain water will be collected and used, then cleaned and released into the Maas. The building will be mainly con-structed out of wood.

The new City Hall combines several municipal services that currently are scattered all over town in one open, accessible complex. The lay out of the building is efficient and includes offices, a plaza, a public hall with exhibition spaces, meeting rooms and an underground parking. The public hall located on the ground floor offers a view on the river Maas and its flood plains. The work places are situated in the tower.

Another ambition is to create a pleasant and comfortable working climate. The lay out of the building invites to movement. It brings light, air and views into the building. And it encourages communication and exchange of information. The materials and the plants contribute to a healthy climate, promote good and sustainable responsible business and raise awareness.

The year is 2016. After a cold winter, May brings spring with it. Joost is whistling cheerfully as he bicycles to work with the wind at his back. He’s a civil servant working for the Municipality of Venlo. The weather is fantastic. In the distance, Joost can see the spring-green façade of the municipal offices. As he cycles closer, he sees a blackbird darting off to feed its young.

Joost is proud to work in a building with a façade that purifies the air by changing CO2 into oxygen and which also offers space for biodiversity. It’s a building that acts like a tree. As one of the future users, he was actively involved in the building’s development. Kraaijvanger and the C2C-Centre worked together to find ways to ensure that everything that was put into the building would come out in such a way that it could be used again, from energy, air, and water to building materials and products. The goal was to create a zero-waste building.

But on a day like today, no matter how proud Joost is of his job and the building he works in, he’d rather be out-side. He looks at the conservatory, his favourite place to work on beautiful days. There, you feel almost like you’re outside even though you’re inside. There you can feel the sunshine warm your skin and you can hear the blackbirds singing.

What luck - it looks like there are workstations free in the conservatory! Joost puts his bicycle in the bicycle rack and hurries inside in a cheerful mood.

Daniela Schelle “Working together is more than just sitting next to each other”

What trends in work processes can you see in the assignments you receive these days? “First of all, there is a clear increase in project-based col-laboration in multidisciplinary teams, often in combination with external partners. In order to answer this need spa-tially, it is important to look at the ideal collaborative proc-ess. This consists of short brainstorming sessions without a fixed agenda, creative workshops in which participants can also work with physical materials, and brief peer discus-sions and moments of reflection carried out in a standing position to promote flexibility and creativity. The process of arriving at results can be accelerated through the use of flexible settings with digital support in a single room. I want to stimulate people to break their set habits of think-ing and act adaptively. Every phase in the collaborative process calls for a different, specifically designed space.”

“Another trend is that users are becoming more and more mobile and flexible through the use of personal devices. They are less and less dependent on specific facilities. As a result, they can choose to work in the most appropriate environment in terms of atmosphere, level of comfort, level of personal control of resources, and of course the availability of electrical outlets.”

Can you give us some examples of these specific spaces? “One interesting case is the brainstorming room. The pur-pose of brainstorming is to let go of formal behaviour and think creatively. For this to be stimulated, people have to feel comfortable in a space but at the same time they can’t be distracted. This calls for a rather home-like setting with as little furniture and appliances as possible. For instance, it’s preferable for people to stand while brainstorming, without any tables to hide behind. At most, there could be standing chairs for employees to lean against. At the same time, there should not be many surfaces where people can put stacks of paper, but employees should have some-where to put their notepad and a cup of coffee.”

“Another specific space for project-based work is the hybrid meeting room or “Group Decision Room,” which is halfway between a meeting room and an atelier. The emphasis here is on self-directed work and the possibility to work next to each other on laptops and simultane-ously show each other intermediate results on a common screen.”

Doesn’t the design of specific spaces contradict the demand for flexible use? “While I am convinced of the importance of functional diversity, I am also aware of the advantages of a principle of generic layout with interchangeable components. In my designs, I endeavour to achieve flexibility through spon-taneous use and relevance for the future. Human beings are by nature adaptive and flexible; and structural features such as an excess of installations cannot match this flexibil-ity. That’s why it’s a good idea not to design every room for a specific purpose. For instance, some meeting rooms are excellent candidates for being given a generic layout.”

Collaboration can sometimes arise spontane-ously. How do you take that into account? “I always try to find a clever and clear organization of the floor plan, so that workspaces link up with meeting areas. By keeping the boundaries between both areas as vague as possible, I allow employees to come together natu-rally. They’re not shut up in cubicles all day, but they are constantly moving through the building. A sophisticated system of ‘trails’ connects the various technical areas, the activity-based spaces, and the central areas like the restau-rant. This creates clear orientation in a half-open structure. A meandering pattern of open and enclosed spaces offers privacy for quiet workspaces and areas to meet, while the lines of sight create visual contact.”

With her designs, Daniela Schelle aims to help people to work effectively and with enjoyment. ‘What that means is allowing employees to choose their work activities and facilitating their ability to perform their work.’ She believes that the time is right for work concepts which focus on supporting forms of collab-oration instead of focusing on the individual. “Working together is more than just sitting next to each other for eight hours a day.”

interview

Capgemini gave the interior architects Daniëla Schelle and Leendert Spreij the exciting, challenging task of creating a new head office with a future-proof, sustainable, and open layout which is capable of increasing and decreasing in capacity as needed. Because of the use and reuse of sustainable materials, the interior has been awarded the internationally recognized BREEAM sustainability certificate.

project

“Capgemini’s goal was to have a feeling of connectedness in a single environment instead of being split up over three office buildings. But the building in which this needed to be achieved had been designed for various users and therefore was intended to be split up into smaller offices. Our familiarity with the new work concepts, along with the implementation of a few essential changes, enabled us to create the openness Capgemini was looking for,” says the architect Daniëla Schelle.“Everything comes together in the restaurant on the first floor. The restaurant is in a two-storey-high space with horizontal and vertical lines of sight. The use of wood and glass creates a warm, open, welcoming feel,” adds her colleague, Leendert Spreij. The building is inviting and dynamic. Schelle continues, “We created movement by creating connections and lines of sight. Dead-end corridors were eliminated, because they isolate parts of the building. In addition, no employee has a permanent workspace. This encourages them to be more flexible and eliminates the development of little territories.” The addition of a glass pedestrian bridge through the atrium ensures maximum connectedness.

OpennessSchelle en Spreij intended to create open staircases on every storey, but logistics and cost considerations meant that it was only possible to build an open staircase from the ground floor to the first storey. The other staircases have been made as open as possible, making them infor-mal meeting spaces. The building’s exterior has two main sides: a warm side facing the city and a cool, businesslike side facing the motorway. This division is continued in the interior. “For instance, we placed the carpet tiles on the motorway side directly behind one another; while on the city side, the carpet tiles create a pattern of blocks which reflects the busy city life,” Spreij explains.Schelle adds, “The two sides also differ in terms of the at-mosphere and how the light falls. On one side, the feeling is cool and dynamic; while on the other, it’s more relaxed and warmer.” The colours and materials used reflect this. For instance, on the city side there are yellow sofas where it’s possible to work on your laptop or have one-on-one conversations.

ReuseA number of elements in the new interior were taken from the former offices, like the green sofas, the partition walls, the doors, and the desks. Spreij says, “The client requested

that we reuse as much as possible. You have to get up very close before you can see that the partition walls are not entirely new. We coated the old doors, made of dark speckled aluminium, with foil, and we placed half-height walls between the adjustable desks. This creates a calmer look.”

WorkstationsThe entire building has been organized according to the principles of the ‘new way of working’. “A great many Capgemini employees work on location, so they’re not often at the head office. But when they are here, there’s a workstation for them. They can choose the best working environment based on what they’ve come to do,” Schelle explains.Because the number of people in the building at any one time varies, the 1200 existing workstations can easily be increased to 1400. In addition, the presence of secondary workstations means that at peak moments, there’s room for as many as 1700 employees to work at once. “And be-cause the furniture isn’t fixed, it’s relatively easy to adapt the layout or replace the furnishings,” Spreij concludes.

Fragment:

Roos thinks she’s entered a hotel lobby rather than the offices of her employer, Capgemini. Right away she picks out where she’ll be sitting when she has to write a report. Previously, she liked to go to a little coffee house in the city centre. The clinking of cups, the noise of the coffee grinder, and the murmur of the other guests helped her concentrate. But she can find all of that here, too. Plus the chairs are more comfortable - and the coffee is free!

At the same time, this is an ideal place for meeting her business contacts. The meeting points, the auditorium, the professional meeting rooms, and the restaurant offer plenty of opportunities for holding meetings. She takes the glass stairs, crosses the bridge in the auditorium, and goes off to explore the rest of the building. A clear inter-nal path takes her past half-open workspaces, atriums, and small meeting areas. Each space has been designed with a specific activity in mind: brainstorming, working on projects, or reaching decisions. In one room, she has a view of the cars speeding past on the A2, and in another room she can see the city centre of Utrecht.

She had expected she’d feel lost in the large open spaces, but the reality couldn’t be further from that. Variety, aids to orientation, and colour nuances create different environments, each with its own mood. She also enjoys the fact that she runs into all kinds of colleagues whom she had previously only seen during the company Christ-mas party. The place seems designed to help people meet each other.

Can you create a greater unity betwoon the individual work areas and meeting facilities in the existing builing? That was the question Kraaijvanger stood for. The answer: non-persons-specific work places, meeting spaces, brainstorming rooms and congregation areas. The floor planks are used to encourage greater cooperation

The eye-catching patio garden can be likened to an oasis in the urban environment around the station. The natural and green image also reflects VGZ’s brand identity: natural optimism. Cradle-to-cradle materials were used for the floors; a natural pallet with a natural appearance. They compliment the garden: lively colors without any real pat-terns.

Headquaters Rabobank Nederland, Utrecht

The brief for the 76.000 m2 extension of the existing Rabobank office complex in Utrecht was clear: highly sustainable architecture, a modern office concept, and a high level of transparency.The entire complex has been designed as a single campus area.

project

At street level a covered pedestrian area stretches along the entire length of the site, unifying the new and the existing buildings. The high rise consists of two transpar-ent 105 meter high towers, placed at a slightly different angle, connected by a glass façade which wraps itself as a delicate veil around the two towers. The glass facade consists of a natural ventilated double skin panelling with a ship lapped external skin.

The clever structural design of the high rise creates a rela-tively large amount of office space: by connecting the towers, the size of the cores are reduced, offering more work space. The floors are divided into compartments of 3 or 4 office layers with own additional facilities like a pantry. So called communication stairs provide quick access to the different levels within each compartment. Large voids stretching over 4 or 5 floors at the central core of the building allow for maximum day-light and open views.

The 6 meter high lively central plaza that forms the main entrance of the new complex, evokes a city feel with squares, neighbour-

hoods and little streets. Photograher Luuk Kramer
