A Circular and Green Vision
For this tender in Amsterdam’s Amstelkwartier, MOSS joined a multidisciplinary team led by Koschuch Architects and Studio RAP to design De Smaakmaker. This envisioned 122 new homes, a supermarket, retail, and shared community spaces, built with circularity in mind. MOSS was responsible for the full landscape and ecological design — from a lush central courtyard to green roofs and a rooftop greenhouse.
A Living, Breathing Landscape
MOSS focused on creating a vibrant and resilient green network — weaving together public, collective, and private green spaces for human connection and ecological richness. This included a biodiverse courtyard with native planting, varied microhabitats, and layered vegetation for year-round interest.
Building for a Greener Future
The proposal addressed sustainability on every front: 74% of materials were either re-used or renewable, channel slab re-use drastically reduced CO₂ emissions, and biobased insulation materials were sourced locally. Green roofs and façades moderated heat gain, reduced rainwater runoff, and improved air quality, while a smart irrigation system minimised water use.
