Mokumer

De Mokumer is an urban renewal project in the 19th century Staatsliedenbuurt of Amsterdam. The building is anchored in the neighborhood on all scale levels, from urban planning to floor plan and detail.

The facade is in keeping with the 19th century facades in the neighbourhood, in an abstracted and contemporary way. Brick, concrete, steel and zinc are used in various ways. The window sills and the concrete piers on the corner were designed by designer Baukje Trenning. These give an appropriate traditional refinement to the facade.

The floor plans have a core with facilities. The walls around this core can be placed according to the wishes of the residents. With the help of a model, each resident was able to 'design' his own layout.
