green urban living
Located in Amsterdam, De Voortuinen was developed by Pinnacle and designed by Elephant architects. MOSS contributed as Green Architect, designing the tree planters, and planting schemes that create inviting green terraces for residents while enhancing the building’s visual and environmental quality.
Tree planters for communal wellbeing
A defining feature of ‘De Voortuinen’ is its extensive greenery. We designed and carefully selected green to enhance the architectural vision, including 120 trees strategically placed on private terraces.
nature integrated in daily life
De Voortuinen prioritizes energy-efficient construction, water management, and the intentional plantings. The green improves microclimate comfort and supports a healthier living environment.
