Redesign of a former office building in the city center of Leeuwarden - Friesland, the Netherlands.
A minimal size kitchen and bathroom are the key elements for this spatial design.
23 apartments, housing for first time house owners varying from 42 - 105 M2.
After taking out all the subdivisions etc.
of the offices a skylight was created in the centre of the building to create a lightwell.
Most of the appartments are organized around the atrium.
All (concrete) structure is exposed with a minimal technical installation added.
Thus creating a "loft" interior to be used by the tennants own demands.
