Trees in containers

In the context of climate change, trees are becoming an increasingly important means to combat the urban heat island effect. However, urban environments present challenges: the soil is often unsuitable for planting, root systems have limited space to grow due to the presence of cables and pipes, and trees occupy valuable space needed for terraces, markets, and fairs. Or due to unconventional spaces for greenery, like rooftops. Ebben Tree Nursery offers an innovative solution by planting trees in containers. These containers can be filled with a special substrate and equipped with nutrient and water supplies, either automated or manual, allowing trees to thrive in urban settings. Additionally, trees in containers can be easily... More

OKAH Rootop & Restaurant

Located in the city center of Lisbon, Portugal, but only 50meters from the Tagus River the OKAH rooftop is inserted in an unexplored ancient port area. The challenge presented consisted in creating a rooftop that matched the LACS building essence – a modern and creative hub that combines an artistic soul and a cultural stronghold where forward-thinking creative businesses go to thrive.

Flinders

When home interior retailer Flinders moved into the huge, historic building Affuitenhal (at Hembrugterrein in Zaandam, 2,050 m2 of floor space with 10-metre-high ceilings, dating from 1931), they turned to DZAP with the challenge of creating a retail space with catering, offices and a warehouse. Our answer: a huge store in which light has free reign and customers can comfortably survey all the offerings, with a café in which they can relax and talk through their ideas. And the offices were created by placing a number of containers in the vast hall space, which we set up as workspaces. More
