I hope that my project with embrace some of the inspired creativity of this project by creating apartments with some space in the silos and some space outside the existing structure.

inspired design from another continent...
These are photos of a similar silo project that has helped to inspire me in my design. The architecture firm MDRDV based in Rotterdam created this redesign project for a set of two silos on the canals in Copenhagen. Instead of filling in the existing silos to create apartments, they took the more inspired route and designed more spacious and airy apartments with better views that cantilever over the existing structure. The interior of the silos then becomes an open atrium for circulation, reminiscent of the Guggenheim in New York.
I hope that my project with embrace some of the inspired creativity of this project by creating apartments with some space in the silos and some space outside the existing structure.

whoa, that's sweet. i didn't even realize those were silos.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the inside dimensions of the Omaha silos? Are they similar to the Copenhagan silos?
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeletethe Omaha silos are 24' on the inside. these silos are a lot shorter and larger in diameter.
