Oog

With Het Oog, DELVA is creating an innovative (underwater) landscape park that connects the two islands of Strandeiland in Amsterdam IJburg. With 8,000 homes, the second phase of Strandeiland is one of the largest future districts in the city. Het Oog is the 'green-blue' living room of the new area, a place that promotes water ecology and offers space for recreation in nature.  Winding water edges in the new topography create ideal conditions for a mix of rich reed beds, natural banks, shallow areas with semi- or fully submerged aquatic plants, grassy meadows and more densely wooded areas. The area naturally purifies the rainwater collected and variation in soil depths creates the possibility of a self-purifying water landscape. ... More
