A new addition to the surrounding urban fabric, which is sensitive whilst still making a statement.
Amsterdam-West is in transition. The postwar housing blocks are of low quality, too small, too uniform and too noisy. Most of the blocks will be demolished and be replaced by a variety of new housing blocks. Inhabitants of the existing apartments have a right to return to an apartment in the new housing complex. We designed 48 apartments for social housing. Half of the apartments concern so-called Care-Apartments for people with physical or mental handicaps. This block is supplied with collective facilities as a laundry, a shared living space and a garden.
