After a long, but exciting journey, our team that consisted of AM, EVA, AAAN and Copijn did not win the Crailo competition, but came second with an amazing development project for the former Crailo barracks. The proposal is a marriage between old and new, in which housing is mixed with cultural and public functions in the central barracks. The main theme of ‘Silent Architecture’ lead to very sensitive, almost invisible interventions that tried to keep the present atmosphere intact.
