Competition for Young Professionals and Students: Designing Sustainable Apartment Complex in Rotterdam
Design a 5-story apartment complex in Rotterdam for 20 households, focusing on creating a healthy, comfortable living environment despite the suboptimal building location. Emphasis on energy use, climate resilience, and innovative building service systems. Participants will address challenges of urban growth, housing affordability, and advanced building technology to inspire future engineers. The project site is on the northwestern edge of Madroelpark in Pernis, Rotterdam, near industrial areas and busy waterways. Criteria for evaluation include research, innovation, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort. Key requirements include daylight, indoor air quality, noise control, energy use, and circularity.

WHAT Separate competition for: i. young professionals (up to 35 years) and ii. students of architecture & engineering Core challenge: to design a 5 story apartment complex for 20 households and it s building service systems. Main objective: to create healthy, comfortable living environment despite suboptimal building location; with attention to e.g. energy use and climate resilience.
WHY 1 2 Urban populations rapidly growing > increase of housing price in cities > need for intensivation of land use Increasing need to smartly apply advanced, comfortable, energy- efficient building technology also in homes With this competition REHVA wants to stimulate the minds of young and future engineers to identify solutions how to realize healthy and sustainable residential buildings.
WHERE Rotterdam North Western edge of the Madroelpark in Pernis- Rotterdam - Current use: soccer field Close to industrial (petrochemical) area Surrounded by highways and busy waterways Location outside present winter dyke (flooding risk) Key requirements related to: Daylight Winter & summer comfort Indoor air quality Noise Personal control Energy use On-site generation Circularity
HOW - CRITERIA Jury will evaluate . How the project is researched and documented How the project addresses contemporary and future challenges in general How the project addresses challenges specific to the proposed building site How the project convinces in terms of enhancement of the health and comfort of future occupants How the project convinces in terms of estimated energy efficiency and climate resilience The overall level of experimentation, creativity and innovation The overall graphic presentation of the project, how the project presents itself Affordability and replicability, how accessible is the solution compared to available technology and products For the nominated projects the oral presentation is also included in the criteria.
