a diverse team with one goal
For this tender in Amsterdam’s Amstelkwartier, we 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. We were responsible for the full landscape and ecological design: a central courtyard to green roofs and a rooftop greenhouse.
a garden for every personality
We focused on creating a vibrant and resilient green network by weaving together public, collective, and private green spaces. This included a biodiverse courtyard with native planting, varied microhabitats, and layered vegetation for year-round interest.
a future-oriented design
The proposal addressed sustainability in every aspect: 74% of materials were either re-used or renewable, slab re-use drastically reduced CO₂ emissions, and biobased insulation materials were sourced locally. Green roofs and façades moderate heat gain, reduce rainwater runoff, and improve air quality, while a smart irrigation system minimises water use.
