What is feeling at home in the city? how can architecture help intensify the relation between the dweller and his surrounding environment in such a way that the limits between inside and outside are blurred? the goal of this project was to understand through research what are the architectural elements that create the relation inside-outside, and how the individual use of these elements leads to the creation of an “in-between” space. So, based on the research and the site analysis, the goal set for the design was to create a dwelling project in Amsterdam North, in which each house could experience the transition between inside and outside, public and private through an “in-between” space. A project in which each dwelling could have a direct and personal relation with the exterior resulting in extensions of the home into the city, and therefore resulting in the inhabitant feeling at home in the city.
