'knuk' studio

april 2023

For an acquaintance I helped design a studio attached to an already existing house. The goal was to add another tiny house/studio to be able to rent out. Within the limited space I managed to create a cosy studio with a high ceiling and loft area. The project was completed in April 2023.

transformation project:
'stream of senses'

january 2021

In this group project we transformed an old Rotterdam harbor warehouse into a building holding a museum, restaurant, workspaces, cinema/lecture hall and apartments. "Stream of senses" refers to the museum, which focusses on sensory experiences.

transformation project:
'social collage'

november 2021

In this transformation project we worked in a multidisciplinary group to create a design for an old factory. The ambition for our project was fully socially oriented, with the focus on inclusiveness, adaptivity and multi-functionality. We also embraced and amplified the existing scars of the old building.

In this project I transformed the famous 'White U' home in Tokyo, by Toyo Ito, for a new imaginary resident: a living-, working- and exhibition-space for a single artist.

folly

june 2020

In this project the goal was to create a 'folly' (architectural creation without a function) placed in an abandoned quarry, nearby Maastricht. My 'folly' is inspired by the carved out stone. Visitors can experience this form by walking around and underneath it.

ABOUT ME

My journey began in June 2023, when I graduated with a bachelor’s in architecture and Interior design at Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, Maastricht, the Netherlands. The Zuyd University placed great emphasis on art in their approach to architecture and design.

In supplement to this I will do a pre-master at TU Delft in February 2024.

 

I am a creative and innovative student with a drive to challenge myself in every aspect of my projects from a designer level to the user level. In this portfolio I showcase a wide variety of projects that best portray my experiences and competence as a designer.

 

Growing up on a multi-cultural island, I feel very at home in all kinds of groups and would describe myself as a very hard worker, social, enthusiastic, and eager to learn. As a result, my portfolio is quite diverse, exhibiting various preferences for materials and colours. I consciously make an effort to try something new each opportunity I get, with a keen attention to location and surroundings when deciding on form, materials and colours in my designs.
