FREEBOOTER
A triumph of biophilic, home-owner-centric architecture in Amsterdam
Designed and developed by Amsterdam-based studio GG-loop, the project is an expression of the studio’s signature and philosophy of responding to the design brief with the experience and wellbeing of the end-user continuously in mind.
“We are part of nature in a deep and fundamental way, but in our modern lives we’ve lost that connection. Our studio envisions home and city design that respects both inhabitants and the environment, reconnecting both in the process,” says Giacomo Garziano, architect, designer and founder of GG-loop.
“Freebooter is a response to that as I see biophilic design as the key to truly innovative design, balancing the technical aspects of environmentally conscious construction with the qualitative, lived-in experience of an organic and natural space” Garziano says.
Among other features in these homes, Garziano studied the movement of the sun year-round to create the parametric shape and positioning of the building’s louvers, allowing optimal sunlight to flood the apartment while at the same time maintaining the necessary privacy of the inhabitants.
The floorplan, flow of spaces and organic lines were also created with careful consideration to daily use and the typical tasks of dwellers – in short, so the home is a healthy and productive habitat for rest and living.
“The spaces are very fluid and organic, and ‘unfold’ as you move through the home,” Garziano says.
GG-loop’s design aesthetic is extravagant without being invasive, visionary and futuristic while paying attention to local cultures, customs and sensibilities. Construction of the key internal elements required strong craftsmanship and timberwork, as well as solid structural expertise.
Maritime design was the main source of Freebooter’s aesthetic and was also a source of technical inspiration. The development’s construction was entirely prefabricated down to the last detail, with western red cedar, pine and steel the key materials used throughout each apartment - references to the materials used in ship-building.
Freebooter also takes its cue from Dutch maritime history, and in particular to ‘Freebooters,’ historical figures who assembled freelance sailing teams to take to the high seas in search of adventure and new lands. Freebooter’s design was inspired by their courageous spirit, as it explores new realms of design.
“The Dutch have always been pioneers and innovators, and have an incredible drive to go for it. So too did the team that built these homes,” says Garziano. ‘
GG-loop was the technical and creative lead on the Freebooter project, the first interior and exterior residential project designed completely by the studio in the Netherlands.
Freebooter is situated on a corner plot in the center of Zeeburgereiland and with an eyeline to the Ij River, consists of two, two-bedroom duplexes of 120m2 each. The limited height and size of the plot together with the limited buildable area was a challenge for a correct articulation of the spaces in the building. Compact areas alternate with more spacious one in an optimised proportion floor area/height and sequence aiming to diffuse comfort in each room. The floorplan, flow of spaces and organic lines are also created with careful consideration to daily use and the typical tasks of dwellers, so the home is a healthy and productive habitat for rest and living. “The spaces are very fluid and organic, and ‘unfold’ as you move through the home,” Garziano says. One of the most important features of the Freebooter development is its use of light. As each home’s light changes every minute of every day and even seasonally, Garziano conducted a year-round study of light conditions to create the optimal shape and positioning of the structure’s louvers. This parametric facade enabled optimal distribution of light while simultaneously allowing for an appropriate level of privacy.
Sensitive to Dutch history, customs and culture, the project took as its starting point the Netherlands’ maritime past, and the project was born of its surroundings. Like much of the Netherlands, Freebooter’s location of Zeeburgereiland was in fact underwater until 1910, and the body of water surrounding in which it stands was the main thoroughfare for ships docking into Amsterdam. Freebooter thus becomes a modern-day ‘ship on land,’ with many references to wind, water and sail. The main materials of the build, like a ship’s hull, are limited to wood, steel and glass. The hybrid structure of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and steel was prefabricated offsite, allowing for an exceptionally fast build-time of three weeks for the four floors. Finishing the block took place over 6 months. Pleasant acoustics, warmth and smell are the main sensorial stimuli that timber triggers. The transparency of the glass, as reference to water, allows light to enhance the experience of the space, and creates a connection to the water surrounding the building. The energy performance coefficient of the building is 0, which makes it a passive building. This result is a combination of 24 rooftop solar panels, high insulation & CO2 absorption, high performance glass envelope & shading system, low temperature floor heating, a mechanical and natural ventilation system. 98% of the wood used is certified with PEFC certificates. With 122.5 m3 of wood used, the building stores 80 tonnes of CO2, offsetting 700,000 km of exhaust from a mid-range car and the energy consumption of 87 households in 1 year

GG-loop is an architectural practice established 2014 in Amsterdam by Giacomo Garziano. The office works within an international network, deriving its strength from an interdisciplinary approach. We work on different scales, ranging from urban planning to industrial design. GG-loop is also involved in art projects, such as video installations, digital sculpture and music performances, embracing various creative fields. GG-loop believes that architecture, as answer to a spatial demand, cannot be merely functional. Every space needs to tell a story. This story acts as filter between functional request and creative intuition. Our main goal in the design process is to create a unique question, based on the analysis of context, necessities, possibilities and constraints. This question will create a unique answer, that will create another unique question, that will create another unique answer, a loop.
