The Woodworkshop


The building is placed in a courtyard in the north of Rotterdam. The outside/the structure is a stagnant component made of brick walls and wooden beams.
The brick walls, the placing of the volumes and the heights ensure that the building
blends in with its surroundings. The structure allows on the inside one big free space
with a lot of possibilities and in contrast with the stagnant structure outside the
inside is adaptable: free for individuals to create their own space.
The Wood Workshop consist of a space where people from the workshop can
share the big machines and work together. On both sides of this communal space
individual workshops can be built by the craftsmen. The individual workshops have
their own door to the outside, they can make themselves visible to the public space.
