Office Winhov

Construction of two residential buildings on the Wisselspoorterrein in Utrecht. The site derives its name ‘Wisselspoor’ [Switch Tracks] from its former function as the central workshop of the Dutch Railways. Within sub-area II of the site, Office Winhov has designed two residential buildings commissioned by Synchroon. The photo shows the former ‘Carriage Workshop’ with its distinctive sawtooth roofs, next to the advancing shell of Block 6. The building will boast a communal inner courtyard and a surrounding veranda providing outdoor spaces for residents. The urban planning was created by Studioninedots and DELVA Landscape Architecture / Urbanism. Part of sub-area II includes a second building also designed by Office Winhov. The other residential buildings were designed by BETA office for architecture and the city and Arons en Gelauff Architecten. The buildings are expected to be completed after summer 2025.   #officewinhov #architectuur #Utrecht #Wisselspoor #duurzaam #workinprogress #housing

“Five years of trial living and then leaving the nest” “Office Winhov – known for the National Holocaust Museum and the Trippenhuis – wanted to prevent the starter apartments from looking like hotel rooms. Instead of elongated studios, Opportuna is filled with wide spaces that almost all have a wide balcony as well. By ‘cutting off’ one side at an angle, a beautiful sculptural façade is created.” – read the full article by Jaap Huisman in Het Parool (Dutch-only): https://lnkd.in/eWzs7gtJ #officeharatori #opportuna #overtoomseveld #westelijketuinsteden #rentalsforstarters #residentialtower #tinyhouse #microapartment #brutalism

On Tuesday 15 April, de Architect NL is organising an evening at Pakhuis de Zwijger focusing on architectural craftsmanship and the resurgence of traditional building methods in contemporary architecture. Jan Peter Wingender (Office Winhov) will launch the evening with his perspective on brick applications. Why has brick maintained its popularity in Dutch architecture for centuries, and to what degree might it be considered a sustainable building material?

Arcam Architectuurcentrum Amsterdam has compiled a carousel documenting the transformation of Staal-Kade, an office building originally designed by Arthur Staal and recently transformed by Office Winhov. Staal (1907–1993) was a key architect of the New Building movement who significantly influenced post-war urban development in Amsterdam. His notable works include the Shell Tower and De Brakke Grond. The images trace the building's journey from Staal's original vision to its current form.

"Residential tower for young lucky ones in Amsterdam-West by Office Winhov. Opportuna, a twenty-storey residential tower by Office Winhov, stands out against the surrounding sea of low-rise buildings in Amsterdam Nieuw-West. Yet, according to architect Uri Gilad, the tower is ‘a contemporary tribute’ to the post-war reconstruction architecture that forms the foundation of this rapidly densifying neighbourhood.” Article in de Architect NL, written by Tracy Metz, photos by Stefan Müller: https://lnkd.in/e3ZWG6BE #officeharatori #opportuna #overtoomseveld #westelijketuinsteden #rentalsforstarters #residentialtower #tinyhouse #microapartment #brutalism

City Hall Den Helder in de Volkskrant, article written by Kirsten Hannema, 26 February 2025: https://lnkd.in/ez4pes5i ‘We noticed there was resistance,’ says architect Uri Gilad of Office Winhov, which designed the renovation plan. ‘The people on site thought we would take away the character of the place.’ In the public hall created in the former mast shed, he points to the wooden truss structure, on which you can see the names that workers wrote; it was a tradition when they retired. ‘People were afraid we would erase the names, but we immediately saw: this is beautiful, we’ll leave it as it is.’ Architecture in collaboration with Van Hoogevest Architecten for Gemeente Den Helder, Zeestad CV/BV. #OfficeWinhov #Sustainability #HistoricPreservation #DenHelder
