community:_ housing is aimed at a social mix of families, singles and the elderly contributing to the varied types on offer in the complex. The creation of a strong community is fostered not just within for the residents of the development; the retail, public and community aspects of the design also ensure that the surrounding community is not shut out.
[units:_600 residential units (300 social rented +150 subsidized sale + 150 market price sale)]
space:_the main idea of the space in project was to provide much-needed housing but in a way where its environmental impacts were minimized and green space within the development -a rarity in inner Amsterdam –maximized
parking system:_the development is car-free in its interior _the only parking spaces available were created on the edge of the complex (110 parking spaces for residents and 25 for visitors located on the southern periphery of the site)(110 people had to sell their car because they weren’t able to get a parking space! :-) _located less than 3 km from central Amsterdam very well connected to surrounding bus, tram and train.
