a flexible space for healing
Dr. Sarphatihuis, located in Amsterdam’s Plantage district, was redesigned for Amsta to make it a more friendly space whilst keeping its flexibility. MOSS led the green design, creating flexible, plant-filled atriums and communal areas.
Designing for elder care
The concept encourages social interaction with modular furniture to create adaptable zones for work, play, and rest. The greenery suggest movement and provides visual relief. This supports a sense of security and mental well-being for its older residents.
eco-conscious flexibility
Recycled materials were used in the used furniture and planters to show how thoughtful circular design can enhance quality. The modularity brings new dynamics to the space, allowing it to shift from a day setup to a setup for small events or even a setup for larger events or functions.
