Boat Hangar
Boat Hangar is a contemporary utilitarian building, both subtly referencing and sharply contrasting the rich context of the historic NDSM shipyard.
A gently sloping roof offers space to a total of 239 solar panels. These panels power a heat pump used for floor heating and cooling. Four skylights offer ample daylight for boat builders and craftsmen.
Alternating in direction and color, linear building components contrast the oxide-red steel structure. Full-height composite sliding doors offer flexibility in positioning yachts throughout the seasons.
Research into boat sizes, internal logistics, efficient spans and cost-effective building components led to an optimal 7.5 meter grid system.
The structural logic of the building is geared towards the efficient allocation of resources. As such, primary and secondary steel structures allow for an efficient distribution of loads.
On a foundation of 154 piles, an in-situ concrete floor of 1,350 square meters offers space to an office, boat racks for smaller vessels and an expansive open space for larger yachts.
