Description:
The project juxtaposes the dynamism of contemporary Amsterdam with the serenity created by its closeness to and openness with the surrounding nature. The design language references the existing environment, connecting the building with the plot’s industrial past while utilizing existing structures and façade materials. The need for density is approached by designing diverse semi-public spaces, such as open galleries and inner streets, thus promoting social collectivity. Within a hybrid skeleton structure, flexible floor plans permit the apartments to be modified in the future, while sliding elements offer fluid inhabitation of the space.
