Friday 11 November our Tatami house was featured at “Make yourself at home” on @magnolianetwork and @discoveryplus.

At the moment only visible in the US but soon expected in Europe on HBO and Discovery.

About the show:
“ @maddiemoate explores unique homes across the globe that reflect their owners’ personalities, passions and philosophies for life. These visionaries dared to dream, build and live differently — challenging the way we see home.”

Houseboat Floating House Amsterdam Architect Magnolia Discovery TV

Very often creation is “fighting”, often fighting bureaucracy and the institutions behind bureaucracy. So, you can understand that we’re very happy to have fought bureaucracy together with the City of Amsterdam as an ally. Our studio’s ambition – or we believe it’s our obligation – is to make sustainable architecture. In this day and age, we simply need to integrate sustainable elements (like solar panels) into our environments. At the same time, we have the responsibility to create connecting and inspiring environments, so it needs to be done properly. In the case of “Tom Thumb” (a tiny floating house), we wanted to integrate a roof filled with solar panels into the architecture. We were however very limited by the maximum allowed height. We tried to convince the council – to make a positive mind shift – and help us fight bureaucracy. The council was convinced (it wasn’t easy) by our design intention and helped us achieve our goal (or from a global perspective our mutual goal). We’ve got planning permission. The tiny houseboat is super small in its form but hopefully, it will be big in its symbolic value. Dancing, instead of fighting…

We’ve been working pro bono on a new design for Uncommon in Zimbabwe , Victoria Falls

We’ve just handed in the planning application for a tiny houseboat in the canals of Amsterdam…

Thank you @architects.underground for having us and giving us the opportunity to dive in deeper into the relation between architecture and music, body and soul! I feel we’re getting closer to our final goal: creating a music pavilion with the legendary Dave Okumu!

Startup Village was featured in Dezeen ! Please read the article in the link below:

https://www.dezeen.com/2018/05/11/julius-taminiau-architecture-shipping-containers-startup-offices-amsterdam-netherlands/

“The shipping container as a metaphor for a garage in which a lot of big companies had their first office, like Apple and Microsoft,” the architect said in his statement.

“By placing all these ‘garages’ next to each other a dynamic village arises. The startups will inspire, collaborate across sectors, exchange knowledge and produce unexpected and paradigm-shifting creations.”

AT5 made a nice item for “de straten van Amsterdam” (streets of Amsterdam) at the IJsbaanpad.

Startup Village was opgenomen in het boek “Gebouwd in Amsterdam” van de gemeente Amsterdam.

#startupvillage #juliustaminiau #sciencepark #uva

Really inspiring to see all the young energetic and visionary startups yesterday and great to see that #startupvillage has become that place where startups/students meet, collaborate, inspire and exchange knowledge. I am convinced a lot of great companies will have their roots at #startupvilage later. Also very nice to see startup envoy Prince Constantijn putting so much effort into developing the Dutch startup ecosystem! #startupvillage #juliustaminiau #architects #aceincubator #scienceparkamsterdam #amsterdam #uvaamsterdam #startup

Mijn idee dat ik in juni 2015 op Science Park heb gepitcht is werkelijkheid geworden en er is zelfs veel meer belangstelling dan we aanvankelijk dachten. Het project is nu al maximaal uitgebouwd en alle plekken zijn verhuurd, een enorm succes dus! Er blijkt dus grote behoefte aan dit soort projecten dat me vertrouwen en zin geeft om weer een nieuw avontuur aan te gaan!

Uniek aan Startup Village is dat het idee, initiatief, ontwerp en de uitwerking is gedaan door Julius Taminiau Architecten. Deze aanpak maakte het mogelijk om met beperkte kosten en in een zeer korte tijd aan een dringende behoefte te beantwoorden en een bijzondere plek in Amsterdam te realiseren.

Dit hadden we (Julius Taminiau Architecten) natuurlijk nooit alleen kunnen doen en wil graag de betrokken personen en partijen op chronologische volgorde bedanken!
