Hemp Houses Research Grant

Site Practice has received a research grant from the Dutch Creative Industries Fund NL for research on the application of hemp in construction of large scale housing projects. Grown locally, hemp is a fast growing species and absorbs more CO2 than any other plant (or tree) grown for and used as construction material.

The project will address the potential of the locally grown material on their (social) surroundings, its technical, economical and architectural qualities and develop prototypes to suggest innovative solutions for sustainable large scale housing projects. Site Practice is collaborating with farmers and producers Dun Agro Hemp Group and engineering firm Summum Engineering.

The research is supported by Creative Industries Fund NL

OASE Journal 106 featuring Sebatu Village House

Anne Geenen contributed to the architecture magazine OASE 106 ‘Table Settings, reflections on Architecture with Hannah Arendt’.

The German-American philosopher Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) once stated that spatial thinking is ‘political’ thinking, as it is concerned about the world and its inhabitants. The ‘world’ for Arendt meant the ways in which we make the globe habitable for people: how we build houses and cities, infrastructures and other networks, and furnish spaces with tables, chairs, paintings and photographs. According to Arendt, this world-of-things was crucial for political life: it is this world that simultaneously connects people and separates them.

Anne’s article ‘Stones of the Land’ reflects on the work for the Sebatu Village House in Bali in the perspective of Arendt’s thinking. The issue includes further contributions by George Baird, Patrick Bouchain, Pier Vittorio Aureli, and Mary Duggan, amongst others.

Woontuinen / Gardens for Living

Site Practice has been invited to participate in a design trajectory aimed at the development of new housing concepts for homeless adolescents in The Netherlands. In collaboration with design Studio Makkink & Bey and landscape architects Le Far West, the studio has proposed the design research 'Woontuinen' / 'Gardens for Living', to explore new ways and possibilities of living within a (conceptual) garden. As places for contemplation, peacefulness, space, entertainment and work, gardens are inherently connected to the idea of a home. Working together with adolescents and social care organisations, municipalities and neighbours, the team will design and make a prototypical garden, with the ambition of fostering social growth.

The research is supported by Creative Industries Fund NL

Anne Geenen splits up Case Design and co-founds Site Practice with 6a architects associate David Schmidt

Since its inception in 2013, and during five years of fruitful collaboration between its two partners Anne Geenen and Samuel Barclay, Case Design has grown to a practice of 16 talented architects and designers with projects in India, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

In light of new opportunities, both partners are now moving into separate practices and Anne Geenen is starting a new studio called Site Practice, co-founded with former 6a architects associate David Schmidt, whilst Samuel Barclay will continue to operate solo under the name Case Design.

Both Anne and David come from backgrounds in architecture that give considerate care and attention to how things are built, what materials are used, and how environmental issues are addressed. Combining their experiences, they continue to work on projects focusing on craftsmanship and materiality and exploring the design process through acts of making and collaboration. Based in Mumbai and Amsterdam, the studio is currently working on projects in India, South-East Asia and Europe. Photography: Ariel Huber

Anne Geenen in conversation at Columbia GSAPP

Anne Geenen talks about how having a base in India inspires the practice’s work and how they try to make projects that are appropriate to the location where they are being built.

"The main influence in our practice, in our way of working, are the things we see around us – the informal structures, the inventiveness and creativity, the materials, and the craftsmanship that are still very present in India."

The podcast expands the conversation beyond the Constructing Practice symposium at Columbia GSAPP on 17 November 2017. Organised by professor Juan Herreros with Enrique Walker, the symposium traced the narratives of 15 firms from around the world that were established in the past 10 years. Other guests included, amongst others, Terrain Architects (Tokyo), Zeller & Moye (Mexico City/Berlin), MAIO (Barcelona), Local Studio (Johannesburg), Bruther (Paris), Something Fantastic (Berlin) and Ultramoderne (Providence).

Hennephof Housing
2020–, Nijmegen
‘Hennephof’ is an affordable housing project consisting of 81 dwellings with communal facilities constructed in timber balloon frame and hempcrete construction. The project puts the residents at its core. Compact apartments minimise the use of energy and materials and allow for generous communal areas, such as the shared roof garden, the double-height green loggias and the workshop on the ground floor. They encourage various forms of encounters and strengthen the social cohesion between the residents and their direct surroundings.The flats are handed over as a naked shell only, allowing the future residents to design, build and continuously adapt their own ideal homes.
The communal workshop also facilitates the concept of co-creation. By only building what is really needed, and handing over the flat as a shell only, the homes remain adaptable and flexible over a long period of time. The tenants regain control over the design of their own homes, in the conviction that if people are given more responsibility for their own environment, they will deal with it more carefully, creating a more valuable, stronger and more resilient society.By becoming co-creators, residents regain control over their living environments, ensuring a strong and resilient community.
Designed for cohabitation, the communal loggias on each floor, the roof, and the immediate surroundings are green spaces that stimulate biodiversity. The nature-inclusive approach is also reflected in the choice of materials; a hybrid of hempcrete and timber balloon frame construction ties in seamlessly with the building's sustainable ambitions.
A flexible layout can be implemented in each of the apartments
The shared workshop on the East corner is at the core of the concept of co-creation. 
The choice to build with local materials underlines the sustainable, energy-efficient and circular construction method. The hyper-prefab approach is quick and affordable. Timber balloon frame construction reduces the use of materials compared to a construction-method in CLT. Hemp grows locally, quick (in 100 days) and replenishes farmlands. As walls, it improves indoor air quality, provides for good acoustics and a well-insulated building envelope. All the plant’s (residual) materials can be used, making it a healthy and sustainable material for people and planet.Hemp from Dutch soil is used  as a material resource for the construction of the project.
Hennephof is located in Hof van Holland, a new development area in Nijmegen-Noord. Site Practice’s proposal was awarded first prize in a two stage architectural design competition that asked for a prototypical approach to affordable, circular and energy-efficient social housing. The jury recognised Site Practice’s proposal for its ambition, boldness and high level of innovation and praised the choice of materials and the strong communal aspects. The facade is made of hemp fibre based corrugated panels and timber windows and posts in Accoya. 
Following the open call in May 2020, Site Practice was selected as one of three finalists out of 61 applicants and invited to prepare further design proposals.

Campus Glashütte
2020, Norderstedt
The new 17,000 sqm mass timber school building of the Glashütte Campus forms a vibrant focal point in the Ossenmoorpark and the garden city of Norderstedt in Northern Germany. Inspired by the educational aims and objectives of two merging schools, the new building is a reinterpretation of the “Kasseler model” of the late 1960s and early 1970s and creates an economically, socio- and ecologically sustainable place where learning, playing, exploring, and sports and leisure activities find a home.Site model in wood and clay with hand drawing 1:500
The design of the new campus allows for the surrounding greenery to extend deep into school life. The landscape slopes down gently to create a protected sunken entrance to the school, marking the boundary of a new school yard with public play areas. As one enters through the building, the inner court opens up to a natural playground, it includes a bee meadow, a pond, an energy park with a wind turbine and solar system, an art garden and outdoor work spaces.Catalogue of site species and building elements

The majority of the new building will be constructed using a timber post and beam construction. This not only significantly reduces the amount of grey energy, but also drastically shortens the construction time. The load-bearing structure establishes an architectural rhythm that gives form and structure to the new building. The rest of the lightweight interior partitions are free from the main structure, to ensure flexibility and future changes of use.Ground floor plan

The spatial programme of the two schools and their common functions are organised around the inner courtyard. This void provides daylight, serenity and remoteness for the classrooms arranged around it. It acts as an orientation device and forms the communal focal point that binds the two schools together.  A large staircase leads into the schoolyard and can also be used as an amphitheatre or outdoor classroom. 
From the park and schoolyard, the school’s appearance is characterised by its open and horizontally structured façade. While the boundaries between inside and outside almost blur in the generous entrance hall with the cafeteria on the ground floor, the solar panels firmly enclose the classrooms located on the upper floors. Where the entrances are located, the solar panels are replaced with colourful metal panels, creating practical canopies and eccentric breaks in the grid. The roof structures needed for the building’s installations and daylighting form equally playful exceptions and are reminiscent of the playful roofscape of the pre-modern city.Ecological and social sustainability are an integral part of the design proposal.
The new school will be carbon neutral – both in building construction and operation. Rooftop and façade-integrated solar panels will provide on-site renewable energy production of more than 400 MWh annually and act as external sunshading device. In the courtyard, the timber structure is extended to the outside, providing a support structure in which plants can grow up along the façade to promote biodiversity.Avasara's solar chimneys designed in collaboration with Transsolar KlimaEngineering.
The appearance of the architecture is significantly characterised by its details.
Following an open call in October 2019, Site Practice was invited as one of thirteen finalists to take part in the second stage of the two stage architectural design competition for a new school campus in Norderstedt, Northern Germany.

Groothandelsgebouw Offices
2019, Rotterdam
Situated within an iconic post-war monument in the centre of Rotterdam, the offices are designed to house the flexible and multifunctional workspaces of a funding organisation for the creative industries in the Netherlands. Located on the fifth floor overlooking a courtyard on one side and the city on the other, the work environment is envisioned as a hub supporting the creative industry. 
Meeting room looking into central space
Central area with informal seating
With a range of meeting rooms and informal gathering spaces employees and guests can share ideas and discuss work in a variety of ways and settings. More secluded rooms offer space for work that requires focus and concentration without being distracted. The central room becomes the focal point of the offices, connecting adjacent work spaces and meeting rooms along the facades. Housing all kinds of activities, it ensures for a flexibility of use that the organisation requires. By opening or closing sliding walls, rooms can either become part of the central hall or be separated for more seclusion.
Secluded work places can be connected to the central area by opening the partitions.
Material palette
The flexibility and innovation that is characteristic of the organisation is further expressed in the choices of materials and details. Surrounded by the characteristic concrete of the fifties building, simple of-the-shelve metal stud frames are reimagined to make partitions that can be opened or closed as appropriated. The frames have infill panels in a variety of materials, responding to aesthetic and technical requirements of the spaces such as acoustics, comfort, transparency or enclosure.

Bespoke teak tables and chairs, upholstered with deep-blue fabric, are designed with attention to detail and finish.
Prominently placed near the entrance is a bar in emerald green marble, sourced from local quarries in Udaipur. The spatial characteristics of the original timber ceilings are highlighted with a dark blue colour that responds to the blue terrazzo floor laid out across the entire space. Bespoke brass pendants are hanging from the ceiling, lighting the space in a subtle and atmospheric way.Brass door handle and other bespoke details contrast with the cool tones of blue.

The contrasting tones of fresh blues and warm brass are complemented with bespoke furniture in teak with minimal geometric shapes and designed with attention to details and joinery techniques. Large plants soften the space, accentuate the height and improve the air quality and acoustic comfort.Intimate seating for dining and an informal bar area for gatherings are dispersed throughout the space.
Realised within a limited budget and timeframe, the space reflects its presence in India by using locally sourced materials and crafted details in brass and teak while at the same time placing it in a globally orientated world of hospitality.Brass Americano signage in the workshop

Sebatu Village House
2018–, Bali
Settled amongst sprawling rice paddies on the edge of the Sebatu village in Bali, the new guest houses are nestled on top of a steep hill that overlooks a lush valley and the Mount Agung volcano beyond. The houses are assembled as a series of rooms, pavilions, terraces and pools. Constructed in local stone, brick and timber they reflect the Balinese village both in its materiality and spatial configuration and seek a harmonious balance between the natural and made environment.Sebatu Village House floor plan at 50.0 meter
The houses carefully respond to what is already there, creating spaces that blend from inside to outside encouraging a way of life that aspires to co-exist with the natural surroundings in a more involved way. In between the structures, a series of gardens, courtyards, terraces and water bodies – designed in collaboration with landscape designers Andy Hamilton and Jem Hanbury – have been arranged to enhance the surrounding natural landscape.Early morning valley view
A harmonious balance between the organic and geometric shapes of the natural and made 
 environment. 
As part of the cultural landscape that surrounds the house, a network of waterways connects the pools and ponds of the new garden with the Subak – a local irrigation system that functions as a communal ecosystem and ties together the agrarian village society. The water, diverted from the rice paddies and fields located at the highest point of the plot, is directed through a series of channels and gutters creating vibrant and productive garden features and is eventually guided to a natural pond with a water temple at the foot of the hill, before the water is returned to its natural ecosystem.Stone sourced from the local quarry.
The natural materials enriched with a natural patina. 
Local building typologies and the surrounding natural landscape informed the approach to materials and details. Rather than placed on the site, the project is grounded in its place by giving each building and pavilion a plinth made of locally sourced stone akin to the temples and village houses of the island. On top of these bases, a composition of reclaimed timber columns and panels, brickwork enclosures and a timber joisted roof dressed with a fine-cut copper cladding are placed. Analogous to Balinese practice, the materials are applied with a precision adherent to local artisanry traditions, leaving the surfaces exposed to the elements so that they will accumulate layers of moss, grasses and fungi that enrich them with a natural patina over time.1:1 scale mockups in bamboo. Built together with local farmers and builders.
Precise Balinese brickwork under construction.
The design process included extensive use of models to understand typography and spatial relations. The models were tested on-site with 1:1 scale mockups in bamboo. Built together with local farmers and builders the mockups conveyed an in-depth understanding of the relationship between land and building, between envisioned spaces and their surroundings and between architects and builders.The first phase of the project, which is currently under construction, is expected to be completed in autumn 2020.

Gallimaufry is a local community-built pavilion for gatherings, markets, performances and workshops. The pavilion uses cloth collected from neighbours and residents, expressing their personality and presence. Not unlike the quilting bees that became important social events in the mid nineteenth century, the patchwork cladding will be a true communal act, celebrating the process of making as much as the process of being.
