In the souterrain of a distinct villa dating from the early 1970s, located in Amsterdam north, is where architecture office buro3 is housed. The former space, originally designed to be a garage, was too small. The slope towards the garage was dug out, and an extension was built, half underground, enlarging the studio to twice it's size. New cast-in-situ concrete walls have the same wood-vein-relief, from the wooden mould, which is also used in the rest of the building. The concrete fundament is topped off with a glass roof. The height the new glass framework and window stills is aligned with the window frames of the original villa design. In the interior, a 6 meter long work table offers enough space for creation. And even though the extension is orientated to north side, and partly underground, the glass roof creates a sea of light and direct view to external weather conditions.
