On the site of the familiar HEMA at Buikslotermeerplein in Amsterdam-Noord, we are designing a hexagonal 70-meter residential building with 240 homes for Boelens de Gruyter. The project is part of the major transformation of the shopping center, which, with approximately 3,000 new homes, more greenery, and broader amenities, is to become a lively heart for Noord.
The program of the building is diverse: social housing, mid-range, and market-rate, from studios to three-room apartments. A commercial plinth, inner courtyard, terrace, and shared space for all tenants provide opportunities for residents to meet one another.
