Slender House and Hanging Chamber by Studio Frank HavermansThe Besiendershuis in Nijmegen, Netherlands, a medieval toll house dating from 1525, was built in the Lower Rhenish Gothic style. To mark the building’s 500th anniversary, Studio Frank Havermans extends this cultural activity into the surrounding urban space through two temporary wooden structures: The Hanging Chamber and The Slender House. Their geometry also establishes a visual connection with the nearby Nijmegen bridge, which is visible from The Slender House. Studio Frank Havermans positions the new city studio above this existing garden wall, creating a physical relationship between the absent historic building and the contemporary intervention. By occupying the footprint and spatial traces of the former house, The Slender House introduces a new use to a site shaped by its architectural history.
