This project for the Benut de Overruimte competition addresses the Netherlands' housing crisis by adding compact homes of 30 m2 and 50 m2 onto existing flat rooftops. Lightweight steel with a copper-like finish references traditional red brick while remaining recyclable and low-maintenance. Solar panels ensure energy self-sufficiency. Green roofs, pergolas, and bee-friendly planting restore urban biodiversity. A continuous promenade with integrated bench niches fosters neighbourhood cohesion. Applicable to any flat-roofed building, anywhere.
an architecture site for a studio that only builds where the weather decides.
The brief I set myself: make it feel like a set of drawing sheets. Every section is numbered, ruled and labelled like a title block, and every project carries real data: altitude, build window, snow load.
The hero is a small code component. A datum line follows the cursor and reads the altitude live off the scale.
Built in Framer. Still polishing motion and mobile.
The drawing-sheets brief is such a charming concept for this site, Bright. That datum line reading altitude live off the scale in the hero is the perfect detail to anchor the whole thing.
