Drijf in Lelystad   Attika   Architekten 1من اصل2

From the architect. “Drijf in * Lelystad ” consists of eight floating dwellings,
for eight families in Lelystad, the Netherlands. Having lived on water in
their childhood, these families always dreamt to live on water again. The
families united in a collective partnership called “Drijf in Lelystad ” (Float in
Lelystad ) and commissioned Attika   Architekten to design eight different but
matching floating homes.
The municipality of Lelystad , a New Town in a polder 4,8   metres under
sea level, provided a water location by widening an existing ditch
(poldersloot ). Since the families all had their own specific requirements and
wishes, each dwelling got its own characteristic size, colour and shape.
Direct contact with the water was leading in each design: unobstructed
views, split level, abundant daylight, water reflections on walls and ceilings,
water terraces on different levels and direct access to the water.
Germania / Jung Seung Kwon + ARCHIUM From the architect. The
beginning was a contention about what germanity housing should be. I
should consider germanity factors, not to say considerate about pressure
and sophistry from someone in district office. A spiral structure which is
consisted of a transformed gable concrete panel was made. This is a
structure made up of the connection with wall, floor, and roof. Plus, it
created a frame of space. Also, it can be a function of shelter to keep out
rain and wind. A part is blocked, but another part is opened at right angle,
so the composition of space could be controlled by programs.
