De Burgemeester is a business residence in Hoofddorp that was renovated by Studioninedots and opened on November 5th, 2013. “The secret of the transformation?” says Studioninedots, “A vertical lobby featuring an open staircase exactly where individuals meet encounter to encounter, a area that brings folks collectively every actually and figuratively. We space. That’s our identify for this communal area at the heart of the developing. It’s a area that brings guys and women with each other. Out of the concrete floors we carved a 14-metre-tall void that houses a giant staircase that cuts diagonal lines by way of the void as it tends to make its way upwards, linking the varied floors to 1 certain nevertheless an additional.”

The De Burgemeester generating was part of a ‘cloud’ of blue foam versions on show in the Dutch pavilion at the 2010 Venice Architecture Biennale. In an exhibition entitled ‘Vacant NL’, the pavilion housed a huge model that depicted all the unoccupied buildings in the Netherlands. “The exhibition proved confrontational for the way it captured the sheer scale of empty space and rendered it visible at a glance, and for the conclusion expressed: the era of development is finished, and scarcely some thing a lot much more demands to be created.”

“At the actual same time, that sea of blue also contained a promise. Vacant NL posed a inventive challenge to architects: find out the potential of these buildings adapt them for our era of financial stagnation and population decline transform them, short-term or otherwise, into versatile and sustainable structures to guarantee a new appreciation of these buildings.”

The Ymere housing association granted the De Burgemeester generating a new existence as an workplace complicated and in 2012 asked Studioninedots to draw up a proposal. The persistent financial crisis thwarted that ambition it turned out to be unfeasible for a single client to occupy the total developing.
“That’s the explanation it was decided to group up with an investor referred to as Lingotto and flip the creating into a multi-tenant complicated. Given that workplace area with all sorts of extra amenities was no longer a realistic selection with a decreased price tag range, we completely modified our unique proposal. Workspaces are fitted out without having possessing any frills so that we could channel far more sources into one magnificent, shared amenity that boosts the entire establishing. The sculptural staircase, a social space precisely the place men and women can meet, a spot that connects folks to a single yet another the two truly and figuratively. The staircase as a instrument for communication, lends the producing a collective identity. As a vertical lobby that offers views of all floors, it tells occupants that they are portion of a greater globe. And precisely that feeling is the primary top quality of the renovated creating.”
