Amstelkwartier

Zecc in collaboration with KENK has designed a metropolitan building block on lot 8b in the Amstel Quarter. The plan will be realized next to the new Amstel Stream Bridge and will form the entrance to the new district.

Client Rochdale will realize here 205 social housing units, a facility for emergency shelter and 800 m2 of catering and business spaces in a raised plinth along the Amstelstroomlaan. The project will be divided into 4 building corridors. Matching the character of the street, different building grains have been designed, each with its own look and feel. Along Amstelstroomlaan the horizontal and formal character predominates, matching the larger scale of Amstelstroomlaan.

Along Rademakerstraat and Meermontkade a smaller scale, more parceled, informal and vertical character fits. The buildings have a vertical articulation. The architecture and appearance is characterized by parcelled, fine-grained buildings with a stately appearance. The courtyard will feature a communal green courtyard garden designed by Lindeloof Garden and Landscape Architects.
