Dames Dietz | Oestgeest

as

In the main shopping street of the town Oestgeest BaksvanWengerden Architecten is commissioned

to design a deli shop. The plot is located next to a side gable wall of a terrace house development.

Due to the limited plot size the only way to fit the programme is to stack it in 3 layers.

qw

Build in different historical time periods, the location is surrounded by a large variaty of roof shapes.

These roof shapes were mostly derived from practical effectiveness and technical limitations as well

as from social and cultural reasons. All these arguments are still valid, except for the technical ones.

This allows us to use the roof shape more freely.

i

The municipal development plan and an easement of use attached to the plot prescribe clear and

absolute regulations. Combining these parameters BaksvanWengerden Architecten creates

a building, which diverges from the vertical and horizontal on all levels. Sloping planes to draw one

into the shop; to bring in natural light; to create more space on the upper levels and to continue

the existing roofline.
