De leerlingen van de ONS konden afgelopen mei na een periode van verbouwen weer terug naar hun oude vertrouwde plek in de Ribesstraat. De school uit 1930 is volledig verbouwt aan de binnenzijde en oogt modern en fris maar met respect voor de details uit het verleden.
Binnenkort volgen er meer foto’s van dit bijzondere project.
afgelopen september hebben wij een tender gewonnen voor een grote IKC.
binnenkort kunnen wij meer delen.
Last July 6, there was a successful new edition of the “Dag van de Ontwerpkracht”.
An inspiring day with interesting research perspectives about the design of the Netherlands in the distant future how to deal with the rising sea level, but also smaller on a smaller scale how resident can participate in design processes improving innovative housing concepts that enrich new (urban) developments.
“Dag van de Ontwerpkracht” is part of Platform Ontwerp NL, an interdisciplinary collaboration between all professional associations in the Netherlands that are active in the field of architecture and in which Taco is involved in his role as co-chair of the BNI.

PROJECT ERVARING VAN 500 TOT 25.000 M2
At the moment, work is underway on the renovation of the Oranje Nassau School in Amsterdam North. The building, located in an area with protected monumental status, has now been completely stripped inside and is ready to be re-insulated, which will allow it to meet the new BENG requirements and will be equipped with completely new installations.
The new Coligny project is nearing completion.
The library with its C shaped tribune / bookshelves is waiting for the pupils to start using it.
This question was the starting point for our newly developed spacegrazing concept.
We believe that fluid workspaces are the future! Sitting next to your colleague to exchange
paper documents in an office block is obvious superfluous, though
exchanging the company’s knowledge and values are indifferently the rock pillar of any company.
The spacegrazing concept is about connecting the best of both worlds
with the freedom of working everywhere while keeping the company’s fundamentals alive .
Check out the spacegrazers website to find out more….
Spacegrazers is a collaboration between Plan-H project management, Toplab Architects
and a joined team of workspace specialists.
We are currently building a tiny villa in close proximity of the natural reserves of the Beemster just above Amsterdam.
By mixing high tech with low tech we are able to build with a minimal footprint literally and also environmentally.
Last week de building works for our school project the new Coligny started.
By the end of the year the children will have a new library, mini auditorium and several new learning and play spaces.
our latest bathroom design,
combining a simple red metal cupboard with an exclusive golden bowl creates a fascinating contrast that appeals all senses when you wash your hands.
We recently designed a small extension and new interior for a monument in the center of Amsterdam.
The design refers with a contextual horizontal line play to the historic clock façade designed by Adam Claasz Esso in 1698.
A block shaped extension and choice of material enhanced the contrast between the 21st and 17th century architectural styles.
The fast growing FinTech startup Franx, needed a young vibrant space to accommodate their ever growing force of employees.
As a collaborative architect Taco Hylkema was part of the design team of the tower.

For a new client we designed a special carpet layout based on small parametric code we have written.
Because the client is a fintech company we used the new ‘Interface’ ‘visual code’ series which mimics hard drive writing patterns and computer motherboards layouts in their new carpet tiles.
Today we gave an interesting presentation at Fakton-LAB about the potential of Parametric Design at front of development processes.
Fixplan bouwt deze zomer de door ons ontworpen nieuwe entree voor de Farelschool in Katwijk. Begin van het nieuwe schooljaar zullen alle leerlingen door een grote ‘F’ hun school binnen lopen/rennen…
De oude entree was zo onopvallend dat we hebben gekozen een groot gebaar te maken op 2 vierkante meter en de eerste letter van de naamgever van de school uit te vergroten. Daarnaast was het van belang een transparante toevoeging te doen omdat de wens was de muurschildering te behouden. ‘The Big F’ is weliswaar een klein project, maar wel een project met een grote Fun factor. see more…
Fun to see our Ebury project appear as background for the Dutch television series “Zuidas”.

Very interesting documentary by WIRED about rethinking patent infridgements, design thinking in China, circulair phone recycling and a lot more…
De innovatie is al veel verder dan het denken over een gas en fosielloos energie model # goede documentaire.
‘one’, ‘two’, ‘three’ swing by Superflex, is genius by being a plain simple installation though highly interactive (watch the kids)
visited november 2017
Interesting conversation about preservation in architecture between Rem Koolhaas and Hubert Jan Henket.
We are currently designing a folly like entrance for an elementary school.
It’s our smallest project ever of only 2m2 but it’s great fun.
status: building permission
For an English client we are currently working on an office fit out at the Amsterdam Vinoly Tower.
Op vrijdag 16 juni geven we weer een Spacepress lezing voor de Nederlandse vereniging van Ontwikkelaars en Bouwondernemers.
De lezing gaat over de impact van Robots, drones en 3d printers die bouwplaatsen gaan veroveren.
Wat betekent dit voor de ontwerper en andere leveranciers in de bouwketen?
Over de opkomst van opensource software, cloud-services en nieuwe bouwtechnieken.
‘Hello Robot’ is a travelling exhibition exposing the latest [Ro]botic presence in our not short to come future lifestyles. With a little bit of history from Star Wars up to Transformers and some exotic early robotic ventures you are almost immediately exposed to the latest Robot and Bot techniques. Continue Reading
Dsk II is een ontwerp voor nieuwe stadswoningen in Haarlem voor jonge starters.
Op een kleine kavel de parkeeroplossing en 14 woningen met tuin realiseren nodigde uit om op een inventieve en creatieve manierhet woon, tuin en parkeer programma teorganiseren. De grote ruime woonverdieping hebben we opgetild zodat hieronder geparkeerd kon worden, daarnaast hebben we de tuin op het dak geplaatst waardoor hier de hele dag van de zon te genieten is. Deze bijzondere woningtypologie hebben we gecombineerd met een uiterst duurzame energie oplossing waardoor er geen gasaansluiting meer nodig is en een epc van 0 gerealiseerd kan worden.
Opdrachtgever: Lunee Vastgoed
Aannemer: Plegt-Vos West
Aantal: 14 woningen (100m2 & 120m2 GO)
Lokatie: Stadkavels
Friday 27 February Taco Hylkema gave a lecture called the self organizing space.
about new ways of thinking about how space can work for you and thinking disruptive about flex-desking.
This monumental site installation by Anish Kapoor is a must see. The two 90 degrees rotated ellipses are the pinnacle of topological art. The size of the sculpture makes you feel small, the color a bright contrast with the green paved hills, the form feminine and with all it’s simplicity Kapoor embraces the landscape of the Gibbs farm with respect and purity. go visit the Gibbs farm site to see more
Toplab visited the Venice Architectural Biennale 2016.
It was the second time we were invited to Venice and asked to watch and report about the future of architecture.
TODAY OUR WEBSITE IS OFFICIAL ONLINE BY NOW!
IT IS COMPLETELY MOBILE FRIENDLY AND STUFFED WITH NEWS AND PROJECTS THOUGH WE ARE STILL WORKING TO GET EVEN MORE PROJECT GALLERIES SOON.
tekst Xandra de Jongh @ kipmagazine:
Het (al dan niet liefdeloze) verbond tussen kunst en architectuur biedt deze keer een vrijplaats aan een Noord-Hollandse architect. Taco Hylkema grijpt de gelegenheid aan voor een onomwonden statement: bouwkunst moet zelf weer Kunst worden. Continue Reading
The Arc Bicycle was designed by a student team at TU Delft and 3D-printed from steel.
Engineering firm Arup has produced prototype 3D-printed steel construction joints that could be used to create more efficient structures.
