cepezed realizes creative cluster c2

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:57:47 +0000

cepezed has acquired the former Technology Museum at the Ezelsveldlaan in Delft and over the coming years, it will transform the premises into the creative cluster C², a collective company complex for enterprises in the creative industries branch.

After the thorough renovation, the architectural office itself will also establish its residence in one of the monumental halls, which date from the beginning of the 20^th century and were originally constructed to teach the workings of steam and combustion engines to students of the Technical University. cepezedprojects, the developer associated with cepezed, will move along and plays an important role in the redevelopment of the property.

The ensemble has a number of very characteristic elements such as an open roof construction of iron, a heavy crane way, gallery floors and a variety of constructional-decorative details. In 1990, the buildings were registered as a local monument and in 2003 they even acquired the status of a national monument.

When the Technology Museum left the complex in 2008, the weekly magazine of the Technical University called the creation of former government architect Jan Vrijman (1865-1954) ‘the dream of many an architecture devotee’. The journal specifically discussed the industrial atmosphere and high degree of daylight incidence, which were an impediment to the museum, but on the contrary fit the character of an architectural office like cepezed very well.

With the renovation of among others the bonded warehouse building in Rotterdam, Building 51 in Den Helder and theTextile Museum in Tilburg, cepezed has ample prior experience in revitalizing important industrial inheritance.

The office is already talking with several potential tenants interested in the location and the synergy that the concentration of enterprises in the creative industries generates.

cepezed's inventive attitude featured

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 08:44:06 +0000

Though architects can choose from an abundance of construction products and materials, what they'd love to use most is often not available. In such a case, one can select an exisiting solution, tailor a project-specific answer to the problem at hand, or develop a new product apt for serial production and/or further development during future projects.

The architects of cepezed are specialized in the latter mode of operation, which leads to interesting innovations in the construction branch. In the January issue of Dutch trade journal de Architect, Philip Allin describes the inventive attitude of the office, that has a lot of different product developments to its name. Through three recent projects, Allin shows the offices' principles and methods as well as their results.

"Whatever you think of it," Allin concludes, "the quality is undeniably high and present. And in comparison to the output of a lot of other offices, that is an art in itself."

opening esic

Wed, 23 Nov 2011 08:17:11 +0000

The new business center ESIC will be opened on December 8^th on the SpaceBusinesspark in Noordwijk.

The Dutch municipality of Noordwijk is primarily known for the presence there of the European Space Research & Technology Centre (ESTEC), the largest branch of the European Space Agency (ESA). To retain auxiliary activities, especially in the long term, and to create a vital infrastructure for this purpose, the municipality has initiated the Space Business Park, a business estate entirely devoted to knowledge-intensive, mainly aviation and space-travel-related companies. The European Space Innovation Centre (ESIC) is a collective corporation building on this park. Sustainability, flexibility, an industrial allure and an above-average price-quality ratio were important starting points in the design process for this building.
