The Line, Overhoeks residential building

Orange Architects completes residential building on the north bank of the river IJ, opposite Amsterdam Central Station

Like a moored cruise ship, The Line fronts onto the IJ waterway in the Overhoeks district of Amsterdam. Sitting on private verandas behind the refined grid that wraps the building like a veil, residents enjoy views of the water just in front of them and of the city centre.

The verandas are real outdoor rooms, their ceiling design making them feel like an extension of the interior space.

Containing 72 rental apartments, the building is located in the middle of Overhoeks, a dynamic residential and employment area where buildings and greenery alternate with one another in a campus-like setting. Because of the dense development in the district, providing sufficient daylight at street level was a key design objective. Setbacks on the upper floors ensure good daylight conditions on the lower floors.

The identity of the building is determined by a delicate grid of 7-cm-thin balcony railings and 880 super-slim concrete columns. We worked intensively with concrete specialist Hi-Con Nederland to develop the graceful, high-strength balcony panels and columns for The Line.

“The outdoor spaces are vertically connected by a delicate grid of concrete columns that wraps the main volume”.

In addition to The Line, Orange Architects is working on another residential building, called the Bow, in the Overhoeks project area. Construction work on this building, also designed for property developers Amvest, has just started.

In 2019, Wutopia Lab completed the Sinan books Poetry Store as a renovation in the historical St. Nicholas Church of Shanghai. Given the fact that the dome could not be transformed, the architects used a bookshelf made of 45 tons of steel to create a new structure.

I believe that the poetry bookstore should be the sacred space of the city of Shanghai.

Sinan Books (Poetry Store) Photographs

Text by the Architects

As the largest professional poetry bookstore in Shanghai, it offers 1000 poetry books in different languages. A continuation of Wutopia Lab’s design style, magical realism based on antithesis, perforated steel plates, translucent, uncertain light, color, and dramatic poetry can be found in the poetry store.

The former Orthodox Church at Gaolan Road #16 is the second batch of outstanding historical buildings in Shanghai. It was built in 1932 and was not used as a church for a long time. In the past few decades, it was an office, factory, warehouse, canteen, residential place, and later became a club, restaurant, and finally was abandoned.

The first time when I stood on the site, I felt it like a ruin of maze. But after accustomed to the darkness, with the knowledge of architecture and urban historical experience, I can identify the traces of construction that have been gaining from generation to generation since the beginning. Various traces of the addition and decoration of this old Church at different times are squeezed together and integrated as one.

The entire project can only be implemented under the permission of the Shanghai Historic Building Protection Affairs Center. No existing façade, structural system, basic floor plan, and distinctive interior decoration of the building could be changed. The façade and layout, new and characteristic decorations on the wall, and dome cannot be replaced as well. It is required to remove the unnecessary walls and floors, such as the steel structure interlayer built in the 1990s. The building space should be cleaned up to reveal its original image and keep the height of the main hall. Shorten the build-on part on the east side, aligning to the original part. Tracing the original materials, such as pillars, floral decorations, walls, and flooring. After decades of wearing down, only the concrete layer was left in the main hall. A small part of the old stone floor was discovered in the side hall, while others were terrazzo added in the 1970s. After repeated grinding and cleaning of the floor tiles, the oil pollution was still faint, and it was regarded as the memory of the factory and persisted.

Church in a Church

I believe that the poetry bookstore should be the sacred space of the city of Shanghai. It should have an independent spirituality and should not be based on the religion of the old site. Given the fact that the dome could not be transformed, I used bookshelf to create a new structure as a Church in the old building Church. This is Church in Church, a sanctuary for modern people was born in where once a sanctuary of faith. I chose to use plated steel plates other than the stone in the old site. The partition and stand of the bookshelf are welded as a steel plate grid system. They interact with each other to form an inner space—a poetry bookstore. The bookshelf has no back panel, and the light from the dome can still spill into the bookstore. Different traces from 1932 to 2019 on the wall are faintly revealed through the bookshelf, including the Catholic-style frescoes that the owner asked the students of the Academy to draw when the group was used as a restaurant in the early 2000s. The steel bookstore and masonry church became a new integration.

With light strips on the wall, readers could figure out the original outline of the Church and tell which part is newly add-on. The East and the West part of the Church were transformed into a café. Contracting to the silver metal bookstore, I used chocolate color to make the café a mild and cozy atmosphere.

The bookstore is an interior project that does not involve the preservation and renovation of the facade. We tested on the wall by the side of the café, which is an inner wall but basically an outer wall, to see if there are layers of paint covering on the wall. After peeling off layers of paint, the texture and alterations of 1932 were finally revealed.

I chose a blue film to replace the faded color window. An infinitely transparent blue is rendered when sunlight spilling into the side hall, dissolving the physical sense of the side hall and highlighting the brightness of the main hall.

Thirty workers built the steel bookstore in 80 days. Workers must first cut 5mm steel plates into 128 standpipes, 640 large steel plates, and 2921 small steel plates for 23 layers of crossbars according to the drawings after pre-assembled correctly outdoor, the pieces were moved inside and welded together. Finally, this bookstore of 388 square meters and a height of 9.9 meters was methodically formed left a 50 cm gap from the old wall.

In the silver bookstore, a balcony was transformed into a golden pulpit. Here you can see how the steel bookstore and the old masonry church are interwoven without touch.

Institute of Sustainable Mobility and Transport in Valenciennes

20 Jun 2021

Institute of Sustainable Mobility and Transport

Design: Coldefy and Relief Architecture

Location: Technopôle Transalley – Avenue Loubat, 59300 Famars / Valenciennes, France

Intended to stimulate innovation, to imagine the mobility and industry of tomorrow, the Institute of Sustainable Mobility and Transport form an ecosystem dedicated to sustainable mobility and transport. They meet the highest standards of international science parks. Located in one of the most dynamic regions in terms of automobile, rail, aeronautics, and new mobility, they are intended for students, businesses (they host an incubator and an accelerator), and also to the general public.

Architectural and urban integration aspect On the same site, training, research, and commercial activities come together around the theme of sustainable transport. The IMTD and the IIM, which are part of the Université Polytechnique des Hauts-de-France’s Innovative Campus operation, are the nerve center of the technology park. Linked by the grand central square, which is a garden, they form a single unit. This garden, which includes a demonstration and experimentation track, creates a strong link with the IMTD exhibition spaces.

The buildings aligned like a showcase, create a continuous space. The entire site is perfectly aligned. Enveloping the building is a double-skin façade providing acoustic insulation, solar shading in summer, and thermal insulation in winter. The gable walls provide night-time illumination, transforming them into lanterns at night.

Functional organization The various activity hubs within the base of the building are organized in such a way as to create a progression from public spaces to private spaces. Facilities open to the public face the central square. The public enters via the central exhibition space, showcasing the sustainable transport knowledge and expertise on the campus. The showroom’s glazed façade creates a connection with the exterior. The grand conference room directly adjoins the showroom. A moveable partition creates a strong symbiosis between these two areas. The stage also extends on the other side of the moveable partition, forming a platform in the exhibition space. It can be lowered into the ground to enable a vehicle or any other object to be displayed on stage from the exhibition room. The raked seating in the conference room is also retractable and can be stored along the lateral wall. These retractable features make these two areas incredibly flexible and modular: they can form a single space for a larger exhibition, and large-scale receptions can be held in this room (with the raked seating retracted).

The visual continuity offered by the patio at the end of the room offers additional breathing space bringing in natural light and the ability to use this area as an outdoor exhibition space. The control room, with the translation booths, above the seating is accessed via a circular staircase. An immersive committee room adjoins the conference room. The documentation and multimedia center can be transformed into a learning center open to the public. The double-height ceiling makes way for a two-level mezzanine offering panoramic views and different ambiances, this is where you will find the cafeteria. The entrance hall for visitors and staff links seamlessly with the central patio. The two committee rooms for consultancy and creativity sessions enjoy the wooded atmosphere of the patio; separated by a moveable partition, they can be joined to form a single room. The auditorium, which can accommodate up to 300 people, is connected directly to the entrance hall.

The two projecting volumes have been organized around the two main functional hubs: – The teaching hub and all the various classrooms – The office hubs made up of the ITD and IIM office hub and the teacher/Ph.D. student offices.

All of the teaching rooms are a block above the students’ entrance hall. The multimedia rooms are mainly found on the first floor, allowing the main classrooms and tutorial rooms to be grouped together and superposed. A green roof with trees provides an area for users to walk. A covered roof terrace can be used as a relaxation and entertainment area for staff. The IIM office hub is on the second floor, with the ITD hub on the last floor.

Environmental approach The UPHF wanted the building occupied by the two institutes to be part of the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France’s “Sustainable Transport and Mobility” Innovative Campus Plan, notably following a High Environmental Quality approach, without however seeking to obtain certification.

The building is perfectly integrated into the site through its volumes and the choice of exterior claddings. With its double-skin façades on the two projecting volumes, it takes full advantage of free solar heating in winter and huge amounts of natural light throughout the year. It is a truly bioclimatic approach.

Landscaped areas have been created thanks to two patios in the middle of the base and the large green roof terrace. The latter provides an elevated promenade offering panoramic views over the campus and a demonstration and experimentation track. The materials used for the building’s construction and finishes have a low environmental and health impact and are almost all bio-materials and bio-sourced materials. The building aims to achieve performance levels meeting the effinergie+ label with a 10% reduction in consumption. Rainwater is collected. The operations and maintenance considerations, taken into account from the outset of the operation, determined the economic quality of the building.

Exterior materials The bioclimatic dimension was included from the very first sketches of the architectural design in order to optimize energy consumption and to increase the occupants’ thermal comfort: the bioclimatic potential has been fully exploited with a naturally ventilated double-skin façade on all façades. This double-skin creates a protective envelope that stores heat from the sun in winter and provides natural ventilation in summer thanks to pivoting panels. The building faces south, a layout conducive to exploiting solar energy. The façades on the base meet the requirements set out in the CPAUP (architectural, urban, and landscaping specifications): a grid of 55- and 110-cm-wide modules with materials suited to the rooms’ needs: glass, frosted glass, and stainless steel.

Interior materials Teaching/office spaces: the walls/separating partitions are in exposed concrete with wooden wall cladding inside classrooms. The ceiling is also exposed concrete with radiant panels providing heating, ventilation, and lighting. Acoustic management and the use of thermal inertia provide optimal comfort in the teaching and office hubs. The double skin and the solar chimneys enhance this performance. The offices in the office hubs are separated by wooden partitions. All indoor joinery is in wood. The doors all have a lateral fixed glazed panel. The flooring is grey PVC. The IIM meeting room has laminate flooring.

Base: the main flooring is a polished concrete slab for almost all areas open to the public. The “consultancy and creativity” committee rooms have laminate flooring. The walls are partially clad with wood for acoustic dampening. The ceiling is a metal grid allowing for easy maintenance of the technical and staging equipment.

Furniture: The furniture was partly chosen and partly custom-designed by Coldefy and Les Murs ont des Plumes.
