De Ceuvel

A polluted plot in Amsterdam was transformed into an urban oasis through a community-driven development. In 2012, together with a diverse group of architects, sustainability experts and members of the community, we put forward a regenerative concept for the former shipyard De Ceuvel Volharding. An ecohub for creative and social enterprises, De Ceuvel provides visitors with a unique experience from the moment they first lay eyes on its buildings: beautifully retrofitted houseboats placed on the land, surrounded by soil-cleaning plants and connected via a winding jetty.
