New architecture in the Kenniskwartier
CECI is a mixed-use development in Amsterdam Zuid, developed by Being and designed by Space Encounters. The project brings together residential apartments, commercial space, and cultural programming.
The building’s green identity
MOSS has developed Ceci as an architectural expression of magical realism- where imagination meets rational design, and greenery brings life to every space.
Sustainability rooted in design
Sustainability at CECI goes beyond energy performance—it’s about biodiversity and long-term resilience. From diverse planting schemes and smart use of natural light to the integration of renewable energy and visible timber construction, the project shows how architecture and landscape can build a healthier, greener urban future.
green terrace and balconies
Lush green terraces and balconies define the building’s character, transforming it into a thriving habitat for people, plants, and animals alike. These green layers not only enrich daily life but also strengthen the building’s identity and recognizability.
