You may view the symposium ‘Design in analogy with the existing’ here on Architectenweb (Dutch-only).
Don’t aim to contrast with the existing – but design in analogy with the existing. A growing group of architects continues to work on existing buildings in this new way. How do they handle this? And can we come up with a method for this together? On Monday afternoon, 9 October 2023, Architectenweb and Office Winhov organised a symposium about this in Pakhuis de Zwijger.
Under supervision of West 8, the former Philips industrial area Strijp-S in Eindhoven is being (re)developed into an urban district where the industrial history of Philips remains alive. New buildings and transformed Philips factories stand side-by-side in a green environment where people can live, work and relax.
Opposite the former ‘Philips Bedrijfsschool’, Office Winhov is designing a tower that fits in with the innovative character of this ‘design district’ in terms of both program and design. With approximately 170 dwellings on a plinth that provides space for makers and commercial activity, the tower adds to a vibrant area for living and working. The prefab concrete façade seeks to connect with the iconic Philips buildings in a contemporary manner.
The development of Strijp-S is an initiative of Park Strijp Beheer, a collaboration between VolkerWessels and the municipality of Eindhoven. SDK Vastgoed is involved in the project as a developer. In addition to Office Winhov, Marc Koehler Architects and Arons & Gelauf Architects are also participating in Phase 4 of the development of Strijp-S.
The former site of the Nederlandse Kabelfabriek [‘Dutch Cable Factory’] (1914) on the shore of the river Schie in Delft will transform into a modern manufacturing city in the coming years. Commissioned by Amvest and Kondor Wessels, the designers of the Rotterdam firms Mei Architects and ZUS have drawn up an urban development plan for a mix of homes, facilities and businesses.
The design combination Studio Pallesh and Office Winhov is working on residential-work-buildings, facilities, and a residential tower in the first development of the Kabeldistrict, which borders the south side of the former cable factory.
The other designers in the first development are Team V Architecture, Ector Hoogstad Architects, Atelier van Berlo, WE Architects and Mei Architects.
The design combination, Office Winhov and Korthtielens Architects, has just completed the Urban Structure Design for the transformation and densification of the Kolenkitbuurt centre. Located between Sinjeur Semeynsstraat, Schaaherderstraat, Leeuwendalersweg and Wiltzanglaan, the project also includes the transformation of the Piggelmee blocks.
Preliminary design work will begin in November 2023.

As part of the city’s extending and transforming of Oosterpark, the former university dissection laboratory was given a new purpose as a 5-star hotel that’s also welcoming for locals. The overall complexity of this project – combining adaptive re-use, a new wing extension, and strengthening the relationship with the surrounding park – is a reflection of Office Winhov’s overall approach and ambitions.
Together with Van Hoogevest Architects, the new ‘House of the City’ has been realized in two old warehouses at the Willemsoord dockyard. The starting point of this transformation was to preserve and strengthen the cultural-historical value of this ensemble. With the arrival of the city hall at the dockyard, this once outlaying nautical area will become a unique and characterful part of the city.

The Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands, the National Restoration Fund and the foundation ‘Nederland Monumentenland’ organize the annual Heritage Sustainability Prize
With the national monument Leiden’s City Hall, the entire complex was extensively renovated, restored and made more sustainable. The special challenge was to come up with sustainability solutions – in terms of both material use and energy consumption/insulation – that fit within the monumental character of the historical building. It was certainly balancing act – one Office Winhov is now proud of being recognized for.

Tower of Babel is a monthly series within the Architectenweb Podcast. Here architect Daan Roggeveen (MORE Architecture) talks with designers, developers and other experts who all have their own perspective on highrises. The aim is to answer the question: how do you make a really good tall building? This month's guest is architect Jan Peter Wingender, co-founder of Office Winhov.
In the podcast, Jan Peter talks about the origins of Office Winhov and the office's position within Dutch architecture. He explains how the office’s focus is working on and intensifying the existing city.
Jan Peter talks about his vision on densification and highrise buildings: about the German idea of 'Hochhaus', residential towers as 'tall houses' in the city – where proportion, size, scale and the urban horizon play an important role.
And they talk about the question of how prefabrication and rationality can combine with architectural quality. As examples, Jan Peter cites residential towers the office has recently designed and built in Amsterdam, Zurich, Eindhoven, etcetera, in which load-bearing prefabricated concrete facades have been used. He discusses in detail Office Winhov's vision on buildability and repetition in highrise buildings.
A good tall building? As far as Jan Peter is concerned, it has to have its feet in the street and serve the city. So listen! Listen to the podcast here (Dutch-only).

Interview with Jan Peter Wingender and Caroline Versteden (Office Winhov) about the value of monumental train stations.
A complex cluster of buildings between Amsterdam’s iconic shopping street Kalverstraat and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal grew together over time. With the change in the fashion retail industry and the increasing need for densification in the historical urban fabric, it was time for a rigorous transformation and reorganisation. In order to activate a collection of buildings into retail and office spaces, the unique qualities and characters of each building were separately defined. This was done by untangling the volumes and letting in the light. The three-level retail space on the Kalverstraat is highlighted by a completely new natural stone façade. This façade is characterized by its deep relief, reflecting both the building’s historical parcellation and its new use. Meanwhile, the second and third floors above were redeveloped as offices that are connected with a light double-height space to the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. The connecting space now forms the heart of the ensemble, with a new family of façades enabling light workspaces. The interiors are characterized by a careful selection of materials that reflect the building's modern reuse.
We have been commissioned as the architects and is also responsible for the interior design.

Since 1988, ‘Architecture in the Netherlands’ has been an indispensable overview and inspiration source for industry professionals, as well as anyone interested in Dutch architecture. Each year, a three-person editorial team put together a publication showcasing the past architectural year through essays and a selection of remarkable projects reflecting the state-of-the-trade.
The editors for 2022–2023 are Teun van den Ende (founder of Werkplaats Erfgoed, independent researcher, writer for Vers Beton and others, and spatial advisor), Uri Gilad (co-founder and partner of Office Winhov) and Arna Mačkić (co-founder of studio L A). The yearbook is published by nai010 publishers.
The book depot is formulated to become the 'treasury and time machine' of the ‘Dutch Royal Library’ – the national library of the Netherlands. The preliminary design gives an impression of the depot that the Central Government Real Estate Agency (RVB) expects to complete in 2026.
Our design references the books that will be stored in the depot. “The inspiration for the design is an open book and that image is reflected as a curve in the façade. The relief is based on the hieroglyphic script: the letters are not legible, but are inspired by the name 'National Library,” says project manager Lisanne Viergever of the RVB, which is responsible for the construction of the new book depot.

As part of the 'High-Frequency Rail Programme', Nijmegen Station will be extensively renovated and expanded in the coming years.
The station can be regarded as a 'guest' on a lateral moraine – a unique landscape phenomenon. This local topography long formed a natural boundary, but with the westward expansion of the city, the station has now become central. In addition to a significant height difference, the station also has a complex architectural history in which the remains of the original station by C.H. Peters were incorporated by Sybold van Ravesteyn after WWII into a new and monumental station.
We have been commissioned as the architects, and developed this plan together with Arcadis, for the new western entrance in combination with the renewed platform tunnel, entrances, and the extra wooden roofed platform canopy.

The 20-floor building in Blok 6 of the Overtoomse Veld is a part of the densifying plan for the Westelijke Tuinsteden [‘Garden Cities’], an area originally developed in the 1960s in Amsterdam West. The architectural expression of the new building, designed in collaboration with Office Haratori, is inspired by the post-war reconstruction architecture of the surrounding neighbourhood.
This residential tower will house 174 subsidised rentals for starters – small-scale apartments of unique high-quality.
Our transformation for Pillows Maurits at the Park has been nominated for ‘Building of the year’ within the category ‘Identity and Icon Value’. Every vote counts.

In the coming years, approx. 5,000 homes will be developed in the Pampusbuurt on Strandeiland (at the IJmeer).
“A real achievement is the creation of a de facto front porch for the hotel, spilling into the park from Spring – its generous terrace and lawn lead straight to the conifer-lined bicycle paths around Oosterpark. Parakeets and magpies visit Pillows’ birdhouses hung from the plane trees towering over the guest rooms. ‘We are adding the hotel to the park,’ says Uri Gilad, the hotel’s architect. ‘Usually, it is the other way around.’ ”

Lieven de Key and Bot Bouw signed the contract for the residential tower at August Allebéplein. Soon housing will be there for 174 young people. Office Haratori and Office Winhov designed this sustainable 20-floor 65-metre residential tower. The design was inspired by the post-war reconstruction architecture of the surrounding neighbourhood. Focusing on forming a community, the tower features a common room on the ground floor and a communal roof terrace.
Dikkie Scipio and Jan Peter Wingender had the honour of kicking off the podcast series by de Architect on ‘Building(s) with history’.
How do you maintain the value of our heritage? “By helping the building into its future,” says Jan Peter.
In times of sustainability, ‘demolition-new construction’ is increasingly becoming a relic from the era of waste. Transformation and reuse of existing buildings will therefore take off in a big way. Jan Peter Wingender of Office Winhov advocates ‘adaptive reuse’, an approach that goes a step further than the usual monument approach to restoration and conservation. Important premise: doubt is a faithful companion.

A design for one of the new urban villas in Elzenhagen, Amsterdam North. The building is part of an urban plan for sixteen urban villas in a park landscape which calls for buildings with a sculptural quality. We are doing this by emphasizing the brickwork by using a special bond which is clearly not loadbearing. This bond is the basis for the dimensions of the villa.

Office Winhov designed the folly 'Het Sint-Annabolwerk'. The model is on display at the ‘Brick’ exhibition, Kunsthal KAdE in Amersfoort.
The ‘Brick’ exhibition pays tribute to the material with work by more than fifty artists, architects, and designers from home and abroad. In new and existing work, they show the beauty and expressiveness of baked stone. ‘Brick’ can be seen from 10 September, 2022 to 8 January, 2023 in Kunsthal KAdE, the Elleboogkerk and via a tour through Amersfoort with new follies and existing buildings.

Raadhuisstraat 46–50 was built in 1906/07 following a rationalist design by architects A.J. Kropholler and J.F. Staal Jr. – two architects who have long been admired and studied by Office Winhov. The left part of the building (#48–50) was ’t Binnenhuis [‘Inside House’], a shop selling interior articles and furniture, with a warehouse, workshop and packing rooms on the upper floors. The right part (#46) had office spaces and a staff residence. The buildings were originally not connected to each other, except for a shared attic fire escape.
The national monument is due for renewal and will also be made more sustainable. The shop will remain on the ground floor and first floor. Office spaces situated on the upper floors will be modernized by Office Winhov – with unique historical elements being restored. In short, the design involves integrating these new office spaces with the larger existing ensemble.

The building was completed in 1976 following a design by Wout Ellerman (Lucas & Niemeijer). The former IBM office will become a future-proof office with a rich architectural history. Together with the developer, RED Company, we are aiming for WELL Platinum and BREEAM Outstanding certification for the building.
In the Schinkelkwartier in Amsterdam, RED Company will develop the Think District: a sustainable neighbourhood with space for living, working and nature. The project comprises about 1,100 homes for all target groups and two iconic office buildings in a park-like environment. The architectural firm Powerhouse Company is designing the other new office building. Landscape design by Delva.
The KB is working together with the Rijksvastgoedbedrijf ['Central Government Real Estate Agency'] on the realisation of an innovative new book warehouse, in which the national library will preserve the printed and written heritage of the Netherlands sustainably and safely for the future. The warehouse is designed by Office Winhov and will be in the Harnaschpolder in the municipality of Midden-Delfland.
Jan Peter Wingender, partner of Office Winhov, says he is honoured to be able to design the new book warehouse for the KB. “We are really looking forward to creating a design that stands the test of time and safeguards the contents of the building. In a contemporary facade, we want to express, among other things, the materiality of paper, the curves of an open book, the relief of printed matter and the mass of the stored books.'

This article forms a chapter in a series formulated to shed greater light on the practices and innovations of leading women architects. The series is the result of the conversations and collective editorial work of a group of female colleagues and friends who want to highlight the work of women heroes who inspire them. While discovering more about the œuvres and design principles of three female architects – Cini Boeri, Margaret Kropholler and Kate Macintosh – we also came to realise our true motivation behind the project was a shared desire for an increased diversity of role models.
De Punt [The Point] is currently being redeveloped at a unique location: near the centre of Dordrecht, across from ‘the three rivers point’ (Europe’s busiest navigable water hub), and on the edge of the large former industrial area Stadswerven (now known as ‘Sub-Area A’).
Here an ensemble of three building blocks will be built, with Office Winhov being responsible for the urban development of the full project and for the design of one of the blocks. This block consists of town houses, apartments, a commercial space, and an inner garden. Jan Peter Wingender was appointed as supervisor for De Punt’s development to ensure cohesion exists between the three blocks. The garden was designed by Diekman Landscape Architects. The client is the development grouping OCW Stadswerven.
A retail space of approximately 1,100 m² will be built on the Kalverstraat on the ground floor, basement and first floor. With a facade that respects the historical proportions. On the parallel street, the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, an inviting office entrance is being created, which leads to the redeveloped upper floors and new office spaces on the second and third floors on the Kalverstraat side.

With the departure of Kirsten Hannema after Yearbook 2020 / 2021, a place became available for Uri Gilad in the independent editorial team consisting of Teun van den Ende and Arna Mačkić.
The editors select special projects completed in the past year and describe the most important developments that influence Dutch architecture. The editors are already preparing for the 35th edition, which will be published in May 2022 by nai010 publishers.
“I often compare our job as station architects to gardening. it’s about taking the responsibility to take care of something for a longer period of time, to make step-by-step transformations as opposed to making it a huge project. And this was very unique for us,” says Office Winhov partner Jan Peter Wingender. “And it’s exactly what a building like Amstel Station deserves.”
As of 2021, the project was largely completed, but other interventions will take place in the coming years. The next large phase will involve opening up the station to create a new station hall, and face, to the west towards the Amstel River – while still maintaining the intrinsic unity.
The design for the renovated Amsterdam Amstel Station was provided by Office Winhov in collaboration with Gottlieb Paludan Architects, commissioned by Prorail, NS stations, the municipal transport company GVB and the municipality of Amsterdam.
The prestigious municipal architecture award of the city of Zürich, ‘Auszeichnung für gute Bauten Stadt Zürich’, is founded in 1942 and is only given away every five years for what is considered Zurich’s “most successful buildings”. The Flagship store Bucherer is among the 12 laureates build between 2016 and 2020. As Mayor Corine Mauch said during the award ceremony: “The buildings impressively present the diversity and high-quality development of Zürich.”
The flagship store for the Swiss jeweller Bucherer, designed by Office Haratori and Office Winhov, is a renovation of the existing building from 1961. The building heads a small perimeter block on the corner of Bahnhofstrasse and the historic Kuttelgasse. The existing natural stone facade is replaced with a regular facade grid made up of angled marble elements. The recessed surfaces in the facade contain the windows for the upper floor offices. At the corner, the elements develop into bay windows, orientating the building towards the perspective of the Bahnhofstrasse. The plinth, with typical shop windows, is constructed of poured bronze elements with decorative patterning.

These are several 3D printed variations, with which the first sketches are made. The tower will be experienced in a pleasant way from all sides and from all perspectives. That is why the tower will not have a front, back or side. And in terms of appearance and materials, it will have the elegant and material appearance that belongs to Maastricht.

As of 1 January 2021, Uri, in addition to his daily work for Office Winhov, will hold the position of architect-member of the Committee on Spatial Quality in Amsterdam. The Committee on Spatial Quality advises the city of Amsterdam on the integral quality of the physical living environment. Three area-oriented subcommittees (Committee 1, 2 and 3) advise on applications for building permits. Uri Gilad is a member of Committee 1, which covers the city center of Amsterdam.
As this unprecedented year comes to an end, we give thanks to our remarkable team, who in spite of 2020’s challenges were resilient and agile. We are proud that despite this demanding year our ongoing projects were successfully delivered and new ones were started. To show our gratitude we asked Myrsini Alexandridi – a former team member at Office Winhov – to make a collage of our most prominent projects in 2020 and then to translate this collage into 25 of her handcrafted ceramic tiles. One tile for each team member. Just as each individual tile constitutes to the whole image, our projects are only made possible through teamwork. “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Thank you Myrsini Alexandridi for this beautiful interpretation of our projects from 2020!
We would also like to take this space to thank our clients and those that we had the opportunity to work with this year. We are grateful for these outstanding collaborations. Finally, thank you to our digital network for following, appreciating and sharing our projects. We will be happy to keep you informed next year.
Season’s greetings from the Office Winhov team, and we hope to see you all in good health in 2021!

Exactly 25 years after the opening of the Erasmus Bridge, Rotterdam is taking another giant leap in its southern district. The construction of the Erasmus Bridge was the first step to connect the two separate city areas via Kop van Zuid. An equally impressive step is now being taken with the redevelopment of the Rijnhaven and Katendrecht. RED Company has presented a spectacular development vision for the Codrico terrain, the last factory in the ‘wrist’ of Katendrecht. The Codrico factory, a site of cultural heritage and a national listed monument, is a significant marker within the Rotterdam harbor. The factory redevelopment is designed by Office Winhov together with Crimson Historians & Urbanists. The development vision is a joined effort from: RED Company, Powerhouse Company, SHoP Architect, DELVA Landscape Architecture / Urbanism, Mecanoo, DVP, George&Harrison, Build in Amsterdam, DLA Piper, Anne van der Zwaag, Mees Ruimte & Milieu BV, Crimson Historians & Urbanists and Office Winhov.
ProRail and the municipality of Nijmegen have appointed Office Winhov as architect for the transformation and western extension of Nijmegen Station. The station has a special topographical location in the moraine with a complex architectural history. The new extension must fit into the landscape and the transformation of the existing architecture must relate to the original monumentality of Cornelis Hendrik Peters and Sybold van Ravesteyn’s designs. Office Winhov is taking care of the design in close collaboration with Arcadis. The Nijmegen Station project is part of the High Frequency Railway Program and will be completed in 2028.

Ofice Winhov was chosen by the Jewish Cultural Quarter as the architect for the definitive development of the National Holocaust Museum on the Plantage Middenlaan in Amsterdam. A major renovation will turn the current two locations of the museum, the Hollandsche Schouwburg and the Hervormde Kweekschool into a National Holocaust Museum. The permanent National Holocaust Museum is expected to open its doors in September 2022.
The large-scale renovation of the Trippenhuis complex was completed recently. The Trippenhuis was designed by Justus Vingboons and was built between 1660 and 1662 for the brothers Louis and Hendrick Trip. The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) has been housed there since 1812. The complex has been transformed over the years with various insights. The design of Office Winhov for the new reception area consists of an enfilade of rooms and halls, extending from the historic entrance in the Trippenhuis to the renovated auditorium in the garden at the rear of the complex. In the new part, colors and design motifs from the historic building return in a contemporary manner. The facades on the street side and the courtyard are clad with cast, bronze panels; a reference to the'metal trade' business of the original residents.
"What has been sealed in recent years has been opened up again and nuanced, the glass facade shines and splatters like before."
