Timmerhuis

Rotterdam&#;s Timmerhuis is a new building for the city ingång that accommodates municipal services, offices and residential units. OMA conceived a modular building with repeated units gradually set back from the street as they rise into two irregular peaks. The building&#;s composition of smaller cells creates an impressive, complex form eller gestalt when viewed from Coolsingel, one of Rotterdam&#;s main arteries, and allows for subtlety and adaptability as the new building meets the Stadstimmerhuis (a municipal building, from ), which surrounds it on two sides.

&#;We are very proud of Timmerhuis&#;, states De Graaf , &#;rather than adding to Rotterdam’s crowded history of revisionist planning and cacophony of architectural styles, the typical mass of Timmerhuis negotiates between the architectures of the buildings surrounding it&#;.

Located in the city&#;s Laurenskwartier neighbourhood, not far from where the Rem Koolhaas-led firm is based, OMA has merged a municipal office block from the s with a pixellated steel and glass structure to create a new mixed-use building in Rotterdam&#;s city center. The Timmerhuis&#

    Text description provided by the architects. For Rotterdam's Timmerhuis, a new building for the city hall that accommodates municipal services, offices, and residential units, OMA conceived a modular building with repeated units gradually set back from the street as they rise into two irregular peaks. The building's composition of smaller cells creates an impressive, complex form when viewed from Coolsingel, one of Rotterdam’s main arteries, and allows for subtlety and adaptability as the new building meets the Stadstimmerhuis (a municipal building, from ), which surrounds it on two sides.

    The Timmerhuis’s innovative structural system generates maximum efficiency and versatility both in construction and in program: units can adapt to either office space or residential parameters as desired. Green terraces on higher levels provide the possibility of an apartment with a garden in the heart of urban Rotterdam. On the street level, the structure allows for generous open space, with modules overhanging rather than encroaching into an inters

    For Rotterdam's Timmerhuis, a new building for the city hall that accommodates municipal services, offices, and residential units, OMA conceived a modular building with repeated units gradually set back from the street as they rise into two irregular peaks. The building's composition of smaller cells creates an impressive, complex form when viewed from Coolsingel, one of Rotterdam's main arteries, and allows for subtlety and adaptability as the new building meets the Stadstimmerhuis (a municipal building, from ), which surrounds it on two sides.

    The Timmerhuis's innovative structural system generates maximum efficiency and versatility both in construction and in program: units can adapt to either office space or residential parameters as desired. Green terraces on higher levels provide the possibility of an apartment with a garden in the heart of urban Rotterdam. On the street level, the structure allows for generous open space, with modules overhanging rather than encroaching into an interstitial area, encouraging an active and open engagement between the Timmerhuis and the city.

    The design brief stipulated that the Timmerhuis must be the most sus
