During the CANactions School Amsterdam Workshop we visited De Flat Kleiburg guided by Kamiel Klaasse, a founder of NL Architects,—a perfect example of re-using of the modernist housing structure transformed into self-building concepts "zelfbouw".
De Flat is an innovative renovation of one of the biggest apartment buildings in the NL called Kleiburg, a bend slab with 500 apartments, 400 meter long, 10 + 1 stories high.
The idea was to renovate the main structure—elevators, galleries, installations— but to leave the apartments unfinished and unfurnished: no kitchen, no shower, no heating, no rooms. This minimized the initial investments and as such creates a new business model for housing in the Netherlands. The do-it-yourself concept behind the project saw the architects refurbish structural and communal areas, but left the inhabitants to oversee the fit-out of their individual homes.
