HOTEL’S ROOM AND FACADE RENOVATION
One of the renovation projects in the office bFarchitecture in
Antwerp I was involved in, has a strategic location for both
a client and an architect. The Hotel Hermitage is placed just
next to the central railway station in Antwerp, on the wide
boulevard De Keyserlei which welcomes tourists and is the very
beginning of their arrival in the city.
The hotel is a corner building shaped by the history, a very
visible point. It is a great commercial setting for the owner of
the hotel
(with the restaurant on the ground floor). In the first phase we
found
comfortable hotel rooms with very big windows giving a bright
ambient inside, which made it difficult to equipe the rooms with
bathrooms, keeping them all equal. Finally, approaching the
future diverse needs of clients and society, the hotel became a
comfortable place for handicapped guests. It was the most diffi-
cult task to be
performed in such a narrow building, at the same time dealing
with the fire department’s regulations.
Except renovations of the plans we proposed to do the step
forward and make interesting changes on the facade of the buil-
ding by implementing big glass cubes in place of some of the
rooms. By the proportions of the glass cubes we break the repe-
tition of the view of the whole boulevard, making it modern and
very characteristic.

4. HYDROCREATION1/2
study period winter 2010
location Gliwice, Poland
MASTER PROJECT AT SILESIAN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY IN GLIWICE,
POLAND
MASTERPLAN FOR THE CITY CENTRE BY THE RIVER
DESIGN OF THE CITY HALL
My master project is based on the knowledge about the
sustainable and ecological aspect of architecture, which I have
gained during my study period in Brussels at VUB (Flemish
university in Brussels), and also by the priceless
professional experience during this study period, in the office
TPD&A and BURO II/ Archi+I.
Project Hydrocreation includes two parts: a master plan for a
new city centre by the river in Gliwice, Poland, and the design
of the city hall.
The very divers scale of the project gave me the capacity of
thinking globally about architecture.
The urban part, after deep research and many analyzes, concludes
to divide the terrain (1km long, 300m wide) into three
functional zones: an office area, a park / sport / recreation
zone and a housing area. The main idea was to show the dialogue
between architecture and nature by developing three different
ways of shaping the riverside, looking at the different
functions of the project. Crucial are also the connections
between the zones and their mutual diffusion. Focusing on the
first zone (office/ business) I emphasized the front facade of the
town hall and other office buildings. Towards the park zone office
buildings are decreasing their height and are so opening up more
smoothly to enter the recreation zone.

study period winter 2010
location Gliwice, Poland
MASTER PROJECT
MASTERPLAN FOR THE CITY CENTRE BY THE RIVER
DESIGN OF THE CITY HALL
In the design of the town hall I followed the rule of
diffusing the volume into the next recreation zone by
decreasing, exploding and separating the units and their
functions. Separated units are shaped smoothly like the river
shapes the stones. That’s how the form of the capsules arrived,
where air and light can flow naturally and fluidly around them.
Together with the technology (placed in the technical floors and
with a number of sensors in the surface of the capsules), they
aimed to create the most optimal environment for the offices.
The ground floor is freed from all functions. Only 4 cores are
placed, where you can find the information about the right sector
of the town hall you are looking for. For the citizen the
building is divided into 4 different departments, but workers are
able to move between the capsules. Communication in the building
happens in the very middle part of a whole volume of the town
hall (and through the middle of the capsules), which is also a
construction for all suspended volumes. Construction, after long
studies, was discussed with engineers. What is important and
gives a flexible and adaptive aspect of this design, is the
possibility to extend the capsules till approximately 11m from
the construction core. Depending on the need of future expansion
and renovation, we can diversify the length of the capsules.
Except for the office spaces in the capsules we will find 4
botanical gardens with their specific microclimate. On the roofs
of the capsules are terraces for having lunch or smoking. Facade
is rich in sensons to control and stumulate the absorbtion of a
natural light.

PRIMARY SCHOOL
Let’s play the game where parents don’t know the rules.
Only us, only kids. Our primary school is our secret, our
shelter and playground.
It is not only a boring duty, it is more than fun!
Inspiration for the design of a primary school was the
idea of a kid’s toy called «didactic cube».
Didactic cube is not a typical school. It is empty inside,
and the classes are suspended in the space. Actually, they
are attached to the external surface called «skin». In the
«skin» circulation takes place (with four communication
cores in the corners). It is a construction skeleton of the
building (on the schemes below).
Classrooms are in different shapes. Some of them are mo-
veable and can be turned to cut the natural light, in case
of cinema-projections. On the ground floor is a sports hall
and also an extra construction: high columns guide us to
the top of the building, where we will
find a library, which is also available from the corridors
of other floors.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL SHELTER IN NATIONAL PARK
This shelter is a contemporary answer for the traditional
shelters you find in polish mountains, villages, forests and
national parks.
The traditional ornament from the region,where is Magurski
National Park in Poland, apears not in the traditional form of
the shelter, but as a way of shaping internal part of it.
New shelter is actually 3 almost identical volumes, we can
implement in the nature freely. They gradually diffuse with the
nature.
Firs is closed- for public toilets and for feeding animals,
second covered shelter with the fire place, where we can protect
ourself from the rain for example, and the third one is like an
open pavilion.
The competion’s tasks was also to design small elements like:
fence, gates, banches ad tables.

COMPLEX OF SUSTAINABLE BUNGALOWS
Source BURO II «The goal of the project is to create a dialogue
with the presence of the existing: the nature and the village.
(...) The design is a concept whereby a sustainable
relationship with the local
economy, culture and natural heritage is central. The hotel
assimilates with the natural habitat of the island.
(...)The new volume has been divided into several blocks
creating a rhythm where the sound is the building and the silence
the mountain. The translation of this concept in sustainable
materials and techniques, makes the concept of architecture in
the nature, even stronger. »
The opportunity to work for BURO II on sustainable architecture,
being part of an international team, learning new approaches and
dimensions of architecture was an incredible experience. My task
was to support and finalize the drawings and make the final
presentations and visualizations attractive.

INTERIOR DESIGN
The Warm house - modern space with a warm attitude.
The Warm house contains two ways of living - the fast, everyday
hurry and the calm and relaxed mood. It allows typical duplex
space to be duplex also in use. This change is strictly
connected with the needs of the inhabitant’s schedule. The inte-
rior seems simple, bright and modern because of sunlight cree-
ping on the walls and other reflecting materials in the morning.
In the evening spotlights illuminate the wooden floor giving
a warm beige glow on the walls. The surface light illuminates
art nouveau style graphic on the wall making it softer and the
stairs lightened by amber LED’s seem to be warm in touch. Addi-
tionally, the pattern is a protection for the walls, making it
easier to clean - which is practical when having small kids.
The shiny-matte game can also be seen on the art nouveau style
pattern. The accent is repeated in the furniture, the walls and
bathroom and it is visible when the surface is lighted.
The art nouveau style became leitmotiv of the Warm house project
after studies and works done in Brussels - the world capital of
Art Nouveau style.
Realization of this design took fourteen months and resulted in
suiting the inhabitants perfectly.

APARTMENTS BUILDING
The apartment building is now constructed in the close
neighbourhood of the historical forts. The main idea was to link
a new construction with the historical aspect and to continue
Belgian traditional red brick buildings.
As obviously forts were defending old cities in the past nowa-
days our houses are becoming our forts, not only our
shelters.
Our modern forts need to protect us, our family and our privacy.
Converting this ideology into the architectural diagrams and
language, we gain a
brick-protection belt. The belt starts in the front of the
building in the yard. Following the brick’s orientation we climb
on the facade, then onto the roof, the back facade and so on to
end smoothly in the garden behind the house. The movement of the
brick is very important- it’s always one linear direction. Func-
tions of the apartments and the
placement of the windows divide elevations into the stripes,
which
emphasize the linear movement of the brick-skin. Details of the
finishing of the windows are also the result of moving brick
from the street till the private garden and into the back of the
house.

elevation are visible horizontal divisions together with the
strong volume of the internal balcony.
The idea of this project was to follow the horizontal lines of
the existing building and to interpret sticking out element of
the elevation as a «recto» and to create a verso-form on the new
elevation. The
composition of the elevation of the new building doesn’t have
unnecessary details, is minimalistic and relates to the context
in a modern way.

14. Designed building has a strong and very simple volume which can
be visible from the distance and from behind the intense
existing greenery.
The ground floor has smaller footprint to emphasize the floating
light effect of the building. This let to create a passages for
the pedestrian circulation to cross the whole quartier under the
new building passing on the way the existing garden. A whole
volume is made of glass and it is covered with a transparent skin
made of a perforated metal panels. The skin is cut off only on
the ground floor in two places to emphasize the entrances to the
building. Mirror – glass material on the ground floor integrates
the building with the environment.
Thanks to the perforated material used on the façade the new
building is not dominant in spite of its big dimensions. The
simplicity of the façade is recompensed by the dynamic game of
lights (offices) and shadows (closed functions like storages,
vertical circulation or sanitary blocks). The office life and
activities will be defining the look of the façade everyday use.
Proposed plans of the upper floors – offices offer flexibility in
their future development. Office’ spaces arranged around the
patio receive sufficient daylight and ventilation. Horizontal
circulation can switch from the inner circuit (patio) to the
outside depending on the needs of users. They are also proposed
two cores with a vertical circulation located on a two opposite
corners of the building, in the zones of the entrances.

POLICE STATION
The existing complex of the buildings (city hall, current
police station) is monotone and homogeneous, built in this same
material – brick and the forms of these buildings are heavy and
monolithic. In the center of the quartier is a pleasant semi-
public garden surrounded by the arcades and limited with walls.
The idea for a new police office was to create a modern, bright,
transparent and elegant headquarter to refresh a whole quartier
and to bring new original values to this city’s representative
area.
This could be done by using contrasting materials and by kee-
ping the volume and façade minimalistic and simple so that a
new building won’t be competing with the neighborhood.
In this same time, the new concept should bring out the
potential of the quartier by making the ground floor light and
open to the surrounding and the pedestrian circulation more
fluid.
