De Teunis Architectural Design<\/p>\n
As construction starts today, Studioninedots are proud to present their final design for De Teunis.<\/p>\n
The former heavy-industry district of Buiksloterham is rapidly evolving into a mixed Amsterdam neighbourhood, while retaining the character of its raw production past. Sustainability ambitions are high; experimentation and innovation are embraced. Guided by our aim to create adaptive urban quarters that draw on the existing opportunities of the area, we designed De Teunis.<\/p>\n
Transforming the city<\/p>\n De Teunis brings together a highly mixed programme on a compact footprint: a neighbourhood caf\u00e9, industrial production spaces, workspaces, social and mid-range housing and offices. The plot sits close to the larger Cityplot Buiksloterham, one of the locations where our Cityplot concept unfolds. We explored how, on this smaller site along the Papaverweg, we could create a compact, flexible built environment composed of small-scale, mixed-use blocks.<\/p>\n The architectural core element is the \u2018Outline\u2019: a six-metre-high concrete load-bearing structure that traces the contours of the entire plot and organises all the different volumes and functions. Beneath the structure, a freely adaptable world emerges \u2014 where inside and outside blend, and people can enjoy the sun and the water.<\/p>\n The Outline defines the building\u2019s clear identity and its human scale, as well as its position within the urban fabric. A diamond shape within the structure marks an important spot by the water and invites users to make this place their own.<\/p>\n Mixed use, maximum vibrancy<\/p>\n The Outline\u2019s concrete frame incorporates both industrial production spaces and hospitality. Resting atop the structure are three independent volumes arranged in a highly dense composition (FSI 3.5): a residential block, an office block and a hybrid typology. Each volume is strategically oriented and responds to its urban surroundings.<\/p>\n Sustainable and experimental<\/p>\n De Teunis is designed to give tangible form to the ambitions of the \u2018Circular Buiksloterham\u2019 manifesto, on which Studioninedots collaborated with DELVA and Metabolic. The project closely aligns with our belief that architectural and physical interventions can reduce reliance on mechanical systems. Floors extend into the facades, acting as canopies that prevent overheating in the interior spaces.<\/p>\n The building is constructed as far as possible from recyclable or bio-based materials. The warm wooden finish of the exterior spaces is protected by canopies. The window frames and curtain wall construction inside are made with certified FSC wood. All concrete elements consist largely of recycled materials.<\/p>\n To reduce heat stress and maximise water retention, 40% of the site is covered with surface vegetation, arranged in green pockets across the plot. A roof terrace between the office and residential buildings serves as a green buffer above the northern plinth and is visible from Papaverweg.<\/p>\n The office building features a glazed facade with climbing plants growing vertically along designated sections \u2014 filtering daylight, creating pleasant workspaces, softening interior lighting, and ensuring a constantly living, gentle facade expression.<\/p>\n De Teunis in Buiksloterham, Amsterdam-Noord \u2013 Property Information<\/p>\n Project details:<\/p>\n Client: AHAM Vastgoed<\/p>\n Type: 48 apartments, industrial production area, workspaces, caf\u00e9, offices, commercial space<\/p>\n Location: Papaverweg, Amsterdam, NL<\/p>\n Design-Completion: 2021-ongoing<\/p>\n Partners: Bot Bouw, Up4, Strackee, ABT, Hiensch Engineering<\/p>\n Design team: Vincent van der Klei, Metin van Zijl, Albert Herder, Stijn de Jongh, Wouter Hermanns, Eva Souren, Stefanie Krietemeijer, Ania Bozek<\/p>\n Image credits: Proloog, Studioninedots<\/p>\n Studioninedots architects<\/a><\/p>\n De Teunis in Buiksloterham, Amsterdam-Noord building images \/ information received 170626 from Studioninedots architecture office<\/p>\n Location: Papaverweg, Buiksloterham, Amsterdam<\/a>-Noord, The Netherlands, The Netherlands, western Europe.<\/p>\n Amsterdam Buildings Designs<\/p>\n Amsterdam Architecture<\/a> : links<\/p>\n Amsterdam Architecture News<\/a><\/p>\n Major New Dutch Capital Building Designs by Studioninedots<\/p>\n Light House Amsterdam<\/a>, Centrumeiland, The Netherlands 360 Degrees Building Amsterdam<\/a>, The Netherlands +++<\/p>\n Modern Dutch Capital Building Designs<\/p>\n Major New Dutch Capital Building Designs<\/p>\n The Bow Overhoeks Amsterdam apartments building<\/a>, Overhoeks, Amsterdam North Tolhuiskade Apartments<\/a>, Tolhuiskanaal Amsterdam Architecture<\/a> \u2013 contemporary building information<\/p>\n Amsterdam Buildings<\/a> \u2013 historic building information<\/p>\n ++<\/p>\n Dutch Architecture<\/p>\n Netherlands Architecture Designs<\/a> \u2013 chronological list<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
