Caro van de Venne appointed supervisor for Sloterdijk I Zuid in Amsterdam
Barcode Architects’ partner Caro van de Venne has been appointed supervisor for the transformation project Sloterdijk I Zuid in Amsterdam. In the coming years the area will be gradually developed from an industrial area to a mixed living and working environment with 4,700 homes and 84,000 square meters for business activity and office space.
Caro: “I hope that we will be able to transform Sloterdijk I Zuid into a diverse and rich urban area in terms of functions and experiences. I consider it as an opportunity to be creative: to enhance the existing identities with distinctive architecture, but perhaps not always with a coherent urban image. This is possible, as long as we strive for a consistent urban character — an area where special attention is paid to the experience of the city and its relationship to the surrounding public space.”

Barcode Architects, together with KCAP Architects&Planners and Lodewijk Baljon landschapsarchitecten were selected to create an urban vision for the dike zone in Nijmegen — De Waalhoven. Barcode Architects is also responsible for the design of multiple iconic towers within the plan.
Barcode Architects’ founder Dirk Peters: “With a coherent urban structure, the design makes the connection between the characteristic landscape of the northside of Nijmegen and the historic city center. City and nature, in combination with the unique quality that the surrounding river offers, creates a new living experience in the on the banks of the river Waal.”

In the coming years, the existing campus Rachelsmolen of the Fontys University of Applied Sciences in Eindhoven will be transformed from a closed-off island in the city to an inspiring educational environment. A campus that puts the Fontys community at the heart and where cross-pollination between different fields lead to innovation, experimentation, and entrepreneurship. Barcode Architects, together with OKRA landschapsarchitecten and Hollandse Nieuwe interieur en architectuur, are responsible for the design of the new ambitious Fontys campus.
In providing a tailor-made approach to education, lies the strength of Fontys as a whole. The Fontys education is characterised by its small-scale, allowing every student to find its way easily within the larger institution. Barcode Architects has translated this core value to a design proposal where 24.000m² of new program is not organised in a vast singular building, but rather in three individual volumes. The new educational buildings are placed in harmony with the existing context. Together, they frame a welcoming, green public space where users can meet and recreate.

The Muse is located on the Wijnhaven in the up-and-coming Maritime District in central Rotterdam. The program is focused on comfortable inner-city living, with lots of space for social interaction, a lively plinth and features that enhance the living comfort of the residents.
With the design of The Muse, Barcode Architects was ahead of the curve. The Muse served as an inspiration in the development of the Rotterdam high rise vision, which was presented last year. By 2040, 50,000 homes are to be built in Rotterdam. Densification is a solution, but sky-high anonymous volumes, in which residents hardly know their neighbours or experience a sense of community, are a drawback. The focus on a resident community, the activation of the street and renewed urban living qualities make the design of The Muse a prime example for the realization of this vision. This makes The Muse the epitome of the new urban development flourishing in Rotterdam.

The office is led by Dirk Peters and Caro van de Venne, along with a creative team of 70 professionals including architects, urban designers, and technologists.
