MoederscheimMoonen Architects

Based in Rotterdam, MoederscheimMoonen Architects designs multi-family and mixed-use residential architecture defined by massive brick bases pierced by arched pedestrian passages, overhanging upper volumes, and fluidly stacked, undulating balconies. Serves as a precise precedent when developing high-density housing that breaks up rigid structural grids through floor-by-floor balcony variations and integrated vertical greenery within recessed masonry joints.

Clubhouse CVV Zwervers by MoederscheimMoonen Architects, viewed at dusk across a bright green soccer field with warm interior lighting.

Clubhouse CVV Zwervers

An athletic clubhouse precedent demonstrating how to pair a grounded masonry base with a glowing, transparent upper-level social lounge overlooking a sports field.

What we like about this project
The upper volume overhangs the brick base to form a protected continuous perimeter balcony.
