Master thesis THE MONOSTERION

year 2013/2014

location Prague, Czech Republic

supervisors Juliette Bekkering, Sjef van Hoof

Stvanice island in Prague seemed the perfect location for a

new typology of the monastery. It serves as a refuge from the

hassle of city daily life, as well as demonstrates the fragility of

quietness. The topology of the monastery represents many

things in different cultures, but the most precious traits are

universal.

The objective of this design was to re-create the safe place

where one can heal without judgement, but in this case, also

without theological restrictions.

TEA HOUSEyear 2012

“A world hidden inside, where time fl ows at it’s own pace, a vacant space leaving an impression just by it’s spaciousness.”

Tea House, A1 Architects

The design was based on the analysis of the Tent Tea House by

Tadao Ando with the objective of creating a mobile tea house,

which can be assembled and dissembled on various locations.

The shape resembles that of a sea shell creating a separate

world within. The waffl e wooden structure transmits a feeling

of structural security covered by slightly transparent canvas

providing a glimpse of the outside world. A wooden platform

with 41/2 tatami mats is placed for relaxing and tea drinking.Evening Visualization Teahouse

WORKSHOPyear 2013

location TU/e Campus, Eindhoven, Netherlands

This design serves as a temporary extension of the workshop

at the department of Built Environment. It’s a place where

students would work long, hard hours, and as such it has

to be a place of inspiration and creativity. The use of the

honeycomb hexagons correlates with it’s origin of the bee hive,

during the day the hard-working students glimpse the outside

world through the gaps, while at night outsiders view the busy

students furiously working inside. Due to the building facing

south, the daily hours would be represented by the hexagon

shaped lights creeping along the fl oor until the day ends and

they go outside instead. Interior Visualization

SERPENTINE PAVILIONyear 2013

location London, England

The objective was to design a tea pavilion for the Serpentine

Gallery at Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park. The pavilion would

follow the same requirements and purpose of the annual

Summer Serpentine Pavilion, with the added purpose of being a

place to drink tea.

The design is based on the feeling of sitting under a tree canopy

and being able to experience the aromatic plants used for

the making of tisane tea. By sitting lower than ground level,

the visitors would feel further enveloped by the elements and

isolated from the bustling city. Exterior Visualization
