Tour Of Biophilic Apartment In Amsterdam

- Building with natural materials, using light as much as possible and incorporating the nearby landscape into the residence is part of the concept called biophilic architecture. It aims to connect a building's residents with the natural surroundings. The Freebooter apartment complex in Amsterdam in the Netherlands was built according to this concept. We went there to check it out and talk to its residents to see if they feel any closer to nature.

This biophilic apartment architecture is beautiful.
The stripe shadows created by the wooden bars outside the first house would drive me crazy.
My thought was that it felt like prison bars.
That's exactly what I thought!
This comment section is the reason why architects go through 5 years of intense training programs and licensing. Imagine sitting there after graduation, "wood house bad, neoclassicism good" XD
Seven years ‘training programme’ in the UK.
Our job is to design a structure in accordance to the desire of the client.
It won't stop us from warning about the potential fire hazard with a building entirely made out of wood.
People are so obsessed with deforestation in this comments haha. Wood is very good for the clime and is RENEWABLE! It's the best material to use if you produce it wisely and it's eco.
I wonder what would be your reaction guys in Romania where over 95% of houses has a framing roof(that means ALOT of wood). There's barely any terrace roof, even blocks have framing. Making a big framing roof probably consumes as much wood as was used at this building.
@A Good point.Wood is indeed a very sustainable building material - many people still think of cutting a tree is like destroying nature.... Provided that the wood really comes from sustainable cultivation and has not been treated with pesticides, etc.
Agreew to " if produced wisely " .
This is quite remarkable. Thanks for showing us this. ❤
This the best channels,covering Architecture.
Another cool Euromaxx production. (:-)
This is a very informative video.
Fantastic.
what is the best material for them?
One of The best contemporare architecture.
Not difficult when it's so ugly
thank you!
i see good architecture + dog, i like
i see good architecture + stanley kubrick, i like
As we all witnessed in the last "natural modern" movement owners don't maintain the exposed wooden siding, screens, and trim. Most of the Post War modern buildings facia boards, trim and other exposed timber simply rot. The issue then becomes whether this model really is sustainable. All this exterior lattice is fragile and very hard to replace without small cranes or scaffolding. Plus the cost of wood continues to climb.
My thoughts exactly. Thank you for your comment.
Is it suitable for warmer cities?
Timber structures are suitable for different climate conditions. Timber has a high insulation value compared to other materials
@@gg-looparchitecturedesignr1155 thank you 👍
A nice idea however lots of timber = lots of fire.
and a lot of maintenance and cleaning costs.
How on earth did using wood, one of the oldest construction material, got rebranded as "biophilic"? Sounds like mold/termite-philic to me.
Anyone have a match?
Termite would grateful for providing them such a wonderful wood panel.
Beautiful house, though I’m against using this much wood. I guess you could use an alternative that kinda looks like wood?
Thank you! Why using fake wood instead of wood? Timber has a positive impact, both on the environment and the dwellers.
Why is our architecture becoming more depressing every 50 years
Remember the cities during Imperial Germany how beautiful they were, remember St. Petersburg which is still standing
It has been scientifically proven that beautiful architecture boosts happiness in population
Come on don't tell me you don't love twisted concrete buildings!
@@sergior. You probably meant "glass buildings"
@@baseddepartment285 Both
@@sergior. I mean there are very rare exceptions but 99% look like giant bricks covered in glass
This building is not made out of concrete or glass. It is made out of wood and has alot of details yet in a pretty natural way that make it simple at the same time.
I don't find that building ugly. I am also a person that preffers older styles than modernism but the building shown in this video is very beautiful in my opinion.
Do I have to like this house? Because I don't.
Please don't
These houses are nothing compared to a massive swimming pool and underwater houses
Toy for rich
It looks to me like a middle class family suburban row house - with 2 families living above/below one another. Not really a toy, and not really for the rich.
Less forests, what are you thinking??? And the concept is not even new, ask Le Corbusier
the concept that will clean up forest day by day
@@syukridesa Certified timber guarantees that trees are replanted and the life cycle of the forest is preserved.
Doesn't seem fire proof
I'm sorry this is stupid ..... We are already going through a deforestation crisis globally this cannot be the answer for an alternative to concrete ......
We can plant timber
Yes, the same things can be accomplished using concrete (the outside beams, the big doors and windows, the openings for maximum sunlight). But then it wouldn't look as fancy and upper-middle class hipsters wouldn't flock to it.
@@ixian_technocrat The building industry is one of the main causes of global pollution and concrete is one of the main building materials that caused this condition.
With 122.5 m3 of wood used for Freebooter, the building stores nearly 80 tonnes of CO2, offsetting nearly 700,000 km of exhaust gas from a mid-range car and the energy consumption of 87 homes in one year. As stated in the video, this building costs only 10% of its "concrete" version hence it is affordable.
Deforestation is indeed a huge problem and one of the main causes of our current global condition. The timber used for this construction, and plenty more of other buildings, is certified (PEFC or FSC). That guarantees that the life cycle of the forests is preserved and that there is no impact on the flora, fauna and local communities. Timber is currently the most efficient and sustainable alternative to concrete.
@@gg-looparchitecturedesignr1155 Costs only 10% *more* than its concrete version. While concrete releases CO2 while curing, special concrete mix can trap the CO2 inside itself, storing a lot of CO2.
And climate change due to deforestation, is still loading.
When you build with wood you lock away carbon dioxide. Trees grow again.
Certified timber guarantees that the life cycle of the forests is preserved and that there is no impact on the flora, fauna and local communities.
@@sergior. thank you!
Most of you come up with criticisms without solution....give other alternatives to wood rather than ranting
You would only need about 8 or 9 more planets like our Earth to plunder and destroy, then all 8 billion of us could live like this. What a joke.
Construction industry has been one of the main causes of global pollution and climate change, so far. Timber is currently the most sustainable alternative to concrete as it sequesters CO2 and has a net-positive impact on the environment. Trees are replanted and the life cycle of the forest is preserved.
Hahah
@@gg-looparchitecturedesignr1155 and wait for decades to have new trees just to be put down again? There will be more than 8 billion people by the end of this century. Cutting trees for your stupid unsustainable aesthetic is idiotic.
deforestation!! building with wood
It’s renewable. Forests are planted and cut in such a way net trees cut are zero.
