hc-L3 ENCLAVE (in 2008)

RUUD VAN DER HELM & WANDANA HOPPNER APT-1 (c1991-1994) / "YAPPER" OFFICE (1994-1997) (hc-L3 / E-side N-end 1-bay) [recorded 1993 and 1994] 

The re-dispositions of Ruud and Wandana's domestic and work spaces around this enclave floor between c1991 and 2008 (when last recorded) have been unusually complicated. My first encounter with them was in 1993 when they had two 1-bay spaces at opposite corners of the enclave, their home was in the NE corner and Ruud's "Yapper" office was in the SW corner. Around mid-1994 the SW office and the NE home [for unknown reasons] swopped their locations. 

Unfortunately - due to my need to present enclave living-spaces in topographical sequence - these two locations are widely seperated on this page: the NE bay ('APT-1'), first as home then as "Yapper" is shown here, however the SW bay, first as "Yapper" then as home, is the last entry on this page. An additional presentational complication is caused by the radical June 1997 rearrangement and functional simplification of all but one (the "Unnamed" apt) of the enclave's spaces, which allowed Ruud and Wandana to establish a completely new, re-located and enlarged family home. This latter home ('APT-2') is shown immediately below their original one.

This small living space was used first as home then (between 1994 and 97) as Ruud's "Yapper" office.

RUUD "YAPPER" OFFICE ('APT-1' SPACE)  (in 1994)

Around mid 1994 Ruud and Wandana converted this NE corner home into the "Yapper" office and the SW corner office into their home [see last entry on this page]. This configuration lasted until the radical rearranging of the enclave's spaces in June 1997. [The reason for the simple swopping of locations is unknown.]

RUUD & WANDANA: APT CONVERTED TO "YAPPER" OFFICE:  (pic 9-94 / to E) The mezzanine has been extended forwards to just past the indented N-wall shelves, otherwise nothing structural appears to have been changed [ref apt above].

.

RUUD VAN DER HELM & WANDANA HOPPNER APT-2 (1997--) (hc-3 / E-side S-end 2-bays + W-side cntr 1-bay) [recorded 2008] 

The new apt was essentially complete by September 97. Ruud and Wandana's NE-corner one-bay space has been absorbed into Doratheé's north-shifted apt; their SW- corner one-bay space has been absorbed into Marianne's south-shifted apt. The enclave's shared kitchen has been abolished and Ruud's "Yapper" office banished. The consequent functional simplification and the opening of the enclave's centre allowed Ruud and Wandana to acquire not only a two-bay portion on its E-side but also straddle its width and include Marianne's former studio-bay on the W-side. Thus they established a large family home (parents and two children) with a mezzanine floor spanning the enclave passage and supporting a 'village-like' (and probably still evolving) complex of bedrooms and bathroom.

DORATHEÉ APT & STUDIO (19## -) [recorded 1993 and 2008]

.

DORATHEÉ APT & STUDIO (in 1993)  (hc-L3 / E-side 2-bays)

A simple two-bay apt with wall-divided living and work spaces. A 'standard type' of 2-bay living-space: one bay domestic, one bay work, with a doored wall between.

.

DORATHEÉ APT (in 2008)  (hc-L3 / E-side 2-bays plus W extension over hc-L3 landing)

Doratheé's is typical of two aspects of 'third phase' apts: simplification of the 1986 cement-block space-divisions to achieve a larger primary living-space while increasing the spatial/functional complexity of secondary living-areas (often consequent on the needs of children, though not in this case), and the assimilation of previously undomesticated external spaces. The shift of her apt to the enclave's north end has enabled Tetterode's most radical example of the latter: she has extended the apt's mezzanine not only, as is common, over the enclave's central passage, but out into the shared circulation space beyond the enclave's boundary, purloining the upper half of the bridge-foyer portion of the building's high central-landing, capping it at the height of its bridge entry; thus acquiring a huge additional space - a dwelling-sized room extending to the west facade, with a view along the roof of the L3 bridge to the Bilderdijk block.

DORATHEÉ APT: EAST SIDE - VIEW FROM N MEZZANINE (pic 2-5-08 / to EES) Half the 1986 cement-block wall that divided the 2 bay  space into living and studio [ref 1993 pic], is now removed and the apt's east half is a long 'living-room'.	DORATHEÉ APT: EAST SIDE - FROM N END  (pic 2-5-08 / to SSW) The inner half of the dividing wall is retained and helps to support the two mezzanine floors - a small door-hole connects them. Under the north mezzanine are water-based services: kitchen and shower/wc. Under the south mezzanine the big living-room extends, affording its south end a transverse axis.	DORATHEÉ APT: EAST SIDE NORTH END (pic 2-5-08 / to WWN) The apt's entry is to the left of the fridge and the  kitchen-enclosure and behind the mezzanine stair.  The kitchen is a differentiated portion of the big living-room - the essential work-surfaces and cupboards divide it from the rest.
DORATHEÉ APT: EAST SIDE NORTH END - KITCHEN UNDER N MEZZANINE (pic 2-5-08 / to NW)	DORATHEÉ APT: EAST SIDE NORTH END - WASH / WC EXTENDS WEST FRO KITCHEN (pic 2-5-08 / to W) The shower/wc extends back from the kitchen's rear NW corner into the former "leidingkoker" / "mk" that skirts the north side of the enclave entry corridor.	DORATHEÉ APT: EAST SIDE SOUTH END - UNDER S MEZZANINE (pic 2-5-08 / to WWS) The big living-room extends under the south mezzanine as a rather undifferentiated (though constrained by its enclosure's shape to symmetry) 'side-cavity', its edges awkwardly lined with cumbersome furniture - storage cupboards frame a piano - and in the centre is an 'overflow-admin' table.
DORATHEÉ APT: EAST SIDE SOUTH END - UNDER S MEZZANINE  (pic 2-5-08 / to NNE) Under the south mezzanine, looking out into the main living-room space.	DORATHEÉ APT: N MEZZANINE - STAIR & JUNCTION WITH S MEZZANINE (pic 2-5-08 / to E) The stair to the apt's three mezzanines (which - with their huge westward expansion over Da Costakade's central landing - have outgrown the term and become an extensive 'first-floor').	DORATHEÉ APT: N MEZZANINE - JUNCTION WITH S MEZZANINE (pic 2-5-08 / to SE) To our left is the north mezzanine (an office); through the tiny opening in the (now truncated) dividing wall is the south mezzanine (bedroom); to the right behind us is the later addition, the apt's huge western extension beyond its enclave.
DORATHEÉ APT: SOUTH MEZZANINE - BEDROOM  (pic 2-5-08 / to SE)	DORATHEÉ APT: SOUTH MEZZANINE - BEDROOM  (pic 2-5-08 / to NNE) The portholed balustrade emits discs of light ...	DORATHEÉ APT: SOUTH MEZZANINE - BEDROOM (pic 2-5-08 / to NNE) ... and transfers circular pictures.

DORATHEÉ APT: SOUTH MEZZANINE - BEDROOM (paste-up 3-pics 2-5-08 / to WWN) A view towards the tiny entry 'hole' through the portion of dividing wall and under the building's big support beam..	DORATHEÉ APT: NORTH MEZZANINE - OFFICE (pic 2-5-08 / to N) From the bedroom exit we look across the north mezzaniine office to the apt's north wall.	DORATHEÉ APT: NORTH MEZZANINE - FROM WEST EXTENSION ENTRY PASSAGE  (pic 2-5-08 / to EEN) The north mezzanine now opens at its back into the apt's west extension.

DORATHEÉ APT: NORTH MEZZANINE TO WEST EXTENSION ENTRY (pic 2-5-08 / to SW) On the left is the south bedroom entry, before us, down a short corridor bridging the enclave's passage, are the west extension's doors.	DORATHEÉ APT: WEST EXTENSION ENTRY (pic 2-5-08 / to SW) A long room ("like a French farmhouse bedroom" said a guest) stretches out beyond the enclave's boundary and over the big landing-foyer of the L3 bridge.

DORATHEÉ APT: WEST EXTENSION  (pic 2-5-08 / to SW) View through the small west window across the L3 bridge to Bilderdijk old building.	DORATHEÉ APT: WEST EXTENSION (pic 3-5-08 / to EEN) The floor of Dorathee's west extension ceilings the enclave's corridor - view through the enclave's entry door from the bridge foyer.
DORATHEÉ APT: WEST EXTENSION  (pic 2-5-08 / to W) The floor of Doratheé's west extension halves the height of the L3 bridge foyer (the Hartcamp building's portion of a Da Costakade central-stair landing).

MARIANNE THEUNISSEN APT & STUDIO (in 2008) (hc-L3 / W-side S-end 2-bays)

 

[NB: The interior of this living-space was recorded during me and my partner's 3 week residence. Marianne had 'clarified' the whole living-space for visitors and had just renovated the studio (especially its south wall which she insulated and plastered); overlaying these changes many of my photos reveal commonly used objects disposed in our patterns of usage. Thus unfortunately there is an inevitable tension between Marianne's normal use-order, her 'for-visitor' order and the overlaid patches of visitors' use-patterns. The most obvious of the latter - disposition of chairs; table clutter; kitchen utensils; bedroom usage, and most flagrently the renewed and empty studio in intensive visitor-use - are noted in the picture-texts.]

 

MARIANNE APT: ENCLAVE PASSAGE S END - FROM APT ENTRY (paste-up 2-pics 22-4-08 / to N) Through an arch at its S end the passage becomes the lobby of the floor's S entry from Hartcamp's S stair [off-frame to rt], facing this Marianne's apt door [here - distorted by wide-angle lens and paste-up - its top corner intrudes at pic left].	MARIANNE APT: ENCLAVE PASSAGE PLUS APT ENTRY (pic 15-4-08 / to NW) Marianne's apt door is open, allowing a glimpse of her coat-hanging lobby in the curve of the erstwhile entry to Ruud's office [included within her apt since the 1997 re-distribution of enclave spaces].	MARIANNE APT: ENTRY (pic 20-4-08 / to SW) Looking past the large steel and glass factory door, through the lobby, into the apt's N-bay livingroom (woonkamer). To the left is the kitchen.
MARIANNE APT: N-BAY LIVINGROOM (pic 6-5-08 / to E) The livingroom's entry-wall, the 'outside' of the erstwhile entryway to Ruud's office (now Marianne's studio), is essentially unchanged [ref: 1993 pic]; the awkward mezzanine stair that filled its curved corner is now a paper store.

MARIANNE APT: KITCHEN (pic 22-4-08 / to SSE) [NB: the kitchen work-surface clutter and towel-stool are visitor artifacts] What was the entryway and rear portion of Ruud's "Yapper" office [see below] now extends across the east side of Marianne's apt, all the way to the building's south end. It now serves as a narrow kitchen, an access passage to the apt's two bays, and accomodates the mezzanines' new stair.	MARIANNE APT: KITCHEN FROM MEZZANINE STAIR (pic 15-4-08 / to NNW)	MARIANNE APT: S-BAY MEZZANINE (pic 3-5-08 / to S) The stair emerges onto the narrow south mezzanine which overlooks the studio like a balcony.

RUUD VAN DER HELM "YAPPER" COMPANY OFFICE (1991-94) /  RUUD & WANDANA HOPPNER APT (1994-1997) (hc-L3 / W-side S-end - 1 bay) [recorded 8-1993 & 9-1994]

At this time Ruud ran an editing company called "Yapper" that worked for publishers. In mid 1994 the office was relocated [for unknown reasons] to Ruud/Wandana's NE corner home bay and the home was re-established here. In the large-scale 1997 re-distribution of spaces this south-end space became Marianne Theunissen's studio [ref above].
