introduction

On 01.01.01 Boris Zeisser and Maartje Lammers founded 24H>architecture in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Maartje Lammers was born in 1963 and graduated from Technical University of Delft in 1988. Boris Zeisser was born 1968 and graduated from Technical University of Delft with honourable mention in 1995. Before starting their own ofce Boris Zeisser and Maartje Lammers worked in several well-known architectural ofces like (EEA) Erick van Egeraat associated architects, Mecanoo and the Ofce for Metropolitan Architecture (Rem Koolhaas). Since its inception 24H>architecture has been involved in various sized projects. Recently a number of projects have been realized, among which are the Ichthus Academy in Rotterdam, a kids den and ecological school in Thailand, the interior for two Youth Hostels in London, the Dragspelhuset at vre Gla, Sweden, several exhibitions, the ofce of Rijkswaterstaat in Assen and various housing projects in Nieuw Vennep, Hoogvliet and Hoofddorp along with the refurbishments of a former spinning mill into ofces in Enschede. The 12 people strong international team of 24H currently work on a broad scope of design tasks: several housing projects in Cadzand, Domburg and Rotterdam, several schools, an environmental education centre, a saltstorage building and eco resorts in the Caribbean and Morocco.

design statement

24H goal is to nd the hidden layers of each commission. Next to program and site, these undiscovered layers make the answer to each design. By working with various themes guiding the design process, a broad spectrum of non-architectural solutions is found.

evolution
adaptable structures in time providing multi program use in a single space

natrued
abstract interpretations of nature petried into building materials

organism
growing additions transform existing buildings into new compositions

art deco
supporting environment as well as beauty makes the art of ecology

sensibility
to arouse the senses, a building should age beautifully by using materials with a natural ability to transform during its lifetime

The

Matrix Innovation Centre in Amsterdam intended to refresh their atrium spaces of their 3 ofce buildings in the Sciencepark, as they experienced with the total development of the Sciencepark that their buildings were outdated. The original atrium spaces were non descript spaces without character or atmosphere and therefore functioned as transition spaces only. The approach of the design is simple but at the same time very effective. The walls are painted in a barcode pattern that is inspired by the general logo of Sciencepark. This resulted in outspoken color schedule, all different based on parts of the spectrum of the logo. The furniture is made as one continuous sculpture that contains desk, lounge seating and reading table, all made of curved rattan. For the oors pressed bamboo oorboards were used, to give the spaces a more home ambiance. Light xtures were specially made for the atrium, giant spheres of woven bamboo strips.

In

the eastern part of the Netherlands where the textile industrial used to ourish, a former spinning mill is up for redeveloped. The building dates back from 1911-1925, with all sorts of additions and changes until the sixties. The characteristic of the building is its simple and straightforward form, with all sorts of utilitarian little towers glued to the rectangular main form. In the early 20th century this principle was well known for spinning mills and textile factories in the UK and the eastern part of Holland. The conversion strategy was to make the original concept visible again, with new utilitarian contemporary towers connected to the main building. Around these towers cloth is wrapped as reference to the spinning history of the building. After an organic intervention the perception and possibilities of the factory building are changed without destroying the buildings original identity. Numerous workspaces will be created as satellites on the inside of the building, while old and new access towers will provide individual expression for the companies inside.

Assen, The Netherlands

For Rijkswaterstaat, who are building and maintaining highways, waterways and nature, 24H-architecture designed the new districts head ofce along the highway in Assen, The Netherlands.
The ambition of the client and the architect was to create a sustainable building that explicitly shows the identity of Rijkswaterstaat. The concept was developed with the idea to represent their three core activities and also integrate the typical ingredients of the site: The south facade of the building is brutally solid. Through its mass and its horizontal openings, the wall will block the heat of the sun and at the same time stop the noise of the next door highway. The facade, made of concrete and asphalt with lines and patterns, is an abstract representation of a highway. As the rainwater is directed from the roof over the facade, in time, the facade will become green as moss and plants will start growing. This way all 3 aspects of Rijkswaterstaat (road, water and green) are represented in this facade, that will develop in time. At the north facade a light wooden construction creates maximum exibility and openness. This facade and its wooden beams form the base for the open layout of the ofce and the central void where employees of Rijkswaterstaat can meet and exchange knowledge; the social durability of the building. The green roof terrace also provides the possibility to gather. The design team looked for the best integration of all disciplines. All technical facilities are integrated into the prefabricated wooden walls and oors. This way an effective building time as well as a maximum of space is realized. The wooden oor will be directly used as a ceiling and the air will ow through the Climalevel system directly into the ofces. With the Thermal Energy Storage, solar panels on the roof and the use of fsc certied wood, the building gets a class A level in the Greencalc calculation method and could also be classied as a BREEAM Excellent building.

Assen, The Netherlands

At the border of an english landscape park in the city of Assen, an environmental education centre will be developed for the municipality. The programm includes ofces, exhibition spaces, a restaurant and facilities for the neighbouring childrens farm.
The ecological approach is visualized in the integration of the surrounding landscape and the building, mimimizing its footprint. The northern part of the roof blends into an animal eld, while the southern part of the roof contains theme gardens for visitors. These two green sloping roofs meet at the top of the buiding, where the visitors meet the animals next to the solar tower. This tower functions as a look out tower, landmark and provides the building of natural ventilation. Natural energy sources are utilized like solar warmth & power, cooling capacaties of the neighbouring lake and bio mass of the childrens farm next door.

This 1875 building in the neighbourhood of historical

Kralingen has been renovated by 24H>architecture. Originally built as a boys school and later transformed into a community centre, it is transformed by 24H into their own ofce and residence. From the outside the building looks like a rare, decorated white wedding cake that has been carefully renovated. The interior however, -in a deplorable state through various transformations over the years- was stripped and entirely rebuilt. The ofce and residence are split vertically from each other. The ofce, occupying 2/3 of the volume consists of three large spaces. All oors have their own individual quality, the ground oor and rst oor have high ceilings with the historical ornaments whereas the attic has an informal intimacy underneath the original wooden roof construction. The house, occupying the other third of the building, is also arranged over different oors with an extra split-level from earlier interventions. In this area the kitchen, dining and living are located. The sleeping area for the family is placed on the upper oors. The interior of the house is built up with various natural ingredients. At the lowest level 24H designed a kitchen with a black concrete countertop in two different heights. All kitchen cabinets have handmade zebrawood doors with handles from old French vine stems. In the living room extra light is brought in by organic shaped openings in the load bearing wall. At the boundary wall a 24H designed wallpaper with leaf patterns and round family pictures, forming a leaf shape, provides another natural touch to the house. The green colour supports the cooking and dining done in these areas. This wallpaper continues through the house changing into autumn tones in the bedrooms. The bathroom brings the theme of water to life; a translucent curved wall dening the spaces for shower and toilet, contains a collage of swimmers and sh. Various pieces of Zebrawood create the Zebrawood forest holding the panels for the washbasin and shelves. The Heatwave, an organically shaped heating element, designed by Joris Laarman, provides together with the oor heating, the heating for the bathroom. The new stairs run from the bottom to the top and are made from crude steel with massive wenge treads. Hand railings are made from birch branches and steel wires.
