Cruquiuseiland Амстердам [NL]

We are happy to announce the completion of our project Cruquiuswerf in Amsterdam. Our integral design comprising the urban plan, landscape design, and architecture originates from winning a private property transfer process in collaboration with area developer AM and a.s.r. vastgoed vermogensbeheer in 2015. Cruquiuswerf is located in Amsterdam's Eastern Port Area. Its realisation forms an essential step in transforming the former industrial area Cruquiuseiland into a mixed urban quarter for living and working. Following the idea 'for everyone a view', we proposed a dense, fan-shaped urban plan that provides many apartments with views of the waterfront. The layout of the shifting linear building and wedge-shaped green spaces results from careful sunlight and shadow studies on the elevations, balconies, and public spaces. It guarantees views as well as enough air and light for all apartments and pleasant public spaces. Furthermore, it allows to break down the large scale of the volumes. Also with the materialisation, careful attention regarding the choice and use of materials optimises the scale and appearance of the buildings. The combination of natural stone and brick and bronze anodised aluminium at the building tops create a vivid play of rough yet smooth, matte, and shiny surfaces. Two of the blocks were elaborated with architects from atelier PUUUR and studio Donna van Milligen Bielke. We are proud to see that Cruquiuswerf has become a dense yet welcoming urbanity, ready to host a diverse community of residents who will enjoy water views from each of the apartments. Photograph: AM

Underground parking spaces for 190 vehicles and a fan-shaped layout become visible at the Cruquius-wharf building site. KCAP has drawn up the urban development plan for this former industrial erea in order to create a lively living and working area. The fan-shaped layout opens up the building structures towards the water and greenlands. It also gives room to high quality gardens in between the structures. Special thanks to crane operator Geurt van Boekel (BAM) who takes pictures from high up almost every day.

Construction of Cruquiuswerf Amsterdam has started and was officially celebrated on Friday, April 12th. The former industrial area of Cruquiuswerf is being transformed into a vivid neighborhood voor living and working based on an urban plan by KCAP. The urban concept is set up with a fan-shaped layout with the linear building structures opening towards the quay along the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. This provides for stunning views towards the water and letting a maximum of sun enter the spaces between the volumes.  Next to the urban plan, KCAP is also responsible for the architecture of the buildings and the design of the public spaces. Those are structured as a spatial framework with two large collective gardens with each a sunny neighborhood square and a continous quay along the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. Cruquiuswerf comprises of 290 apartments, 5 townhouses, an underground parking garage and a building with commercial functions, developed by AM and constructed by BAM Wonen. On the adjacent Berkhout area another 120 apartments designed by KCAP will follow, a development of Amvest.        

KCAP's Cruquiuseiland model is part of the exhibition 'Close to Reality' in Amsterdam. More than 60 scale models offer a holistic view of a number of metropolitan developments and challenges in Amsterdam that will be addressed in the coming decades. Sometimes close by, sometimes as an exploration of possible futures. From the region to the individual building. Cruquiuseiland, located in the Eastern port of Amsterdam, will transform from an industrial area into a mixed urban quarter for living and working. KCAP designed the southeast part of the peninsula that is located on the border between of the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal and the Nieuwe Vaart with a mixed urban program. The project is developed by AM. 'Close to Reality' was compiled by the City of Amsterdam in collaboration with Architecture Centre Amsterdam and is taking place during WeMakeThe.City, the festival that makes cities better. Close to Reality 23 June to 1 July 2018.

Сегодняшний рынок недвижимости требует нового подхода. Нет больше одного доминирующего образа жизни, а есть их большое разнообразие. Более чем когда-либо люди нуждаются в возможности индивидуализации их собственного пространства. KCAP разрабатывает концепции, которые с одной стороны являются сильными и сочлененными, что способствует социальной и пространственной сплоченности. С другой стороны эти концепции обеспечивают необходимую гибкость для удовлетворения индивидуальных потребностей пользователей и способны приспосабливаться к будущим социальным изменениям.

Вчера, 6 апреля, был запущен процесс перепланировки Chubb-location в Амстердаме. На открытую встречу, посвященную проекту, пришли около 50-60 местных жителей и заинтересованных сторон. Посетители могли открыто высказать свое мнение касательно градостроительного плана, архитектурного стиля, использования общих зон и благоустройства общественных пространств. Приглашенный художник в реальном времени превращал желания и идеи посетителей в красивые эскизы. Этот собранный совместными усилиями материал будет обработан и включен в обновленную версию плана для Cruquius. Согласно графику окончательный проект будет завершен к концу этого года. Намеченная функциональная программа Cruquius включает в себя около 300 единиц жилья для владельцев и аренды с местами для работы и коммерческими площадями. Свод правил (‘spelregelkaart), разработанный муниципалитетом Амстердама, является основой дизайна и программного наполнения. О Cruquius Cruquius быстро превращается из промышленной зоны в оживленный благоприятный район для жизни и работы. Расположенный на воде, внутри Амстердамского кольца и в пяти минутах на велосипеде от Indische Buurt, он все больше и больше становится полноценной частью города. Трансформация Chubb-location Cruquiuseiland План развития территории, которая в прошлом была локацией Chubb Fire & Security (часть UTC) вдоль Cruquiusweg, был разработан компанией AM в сотрудничестве с KCAP Architects&Planners и a.s.r. vastgoed vermogensbeheer. На основе бизнес-модели ‘Я ЭТО ТЫ’, которая проповедует силу концепций, инноваций и сотворчества, планы будут пересмотрены в ближайшее время в сотрудничестве с местными жителями, муниципалитетом Амстердама и другими заинтересованными сторонами.

Dutch area and real estate developer AM has acquired the property of United Technologies Corporation (UTC) at Cruquiusweg in Amsterdam and will transform the current location of Chubb Fire & Security (part of UTC) in the eastern port into a lively residential and commercial area.Cruquiusweg is a strategic location that will undergo a complete metamorphosis. As the most southern peninsula of the eastern harbour area it has the potential to transform the outdated industrial location into an attractive area to live and work. For the acquired location of 1.3 hectares a plan vision has been developed by AM in collaboration with KCAP Architects&Planners and a.s.r. vastgoed vermogensbeheer. Based on the business model ‘I AM YOU', which is based on key values like conceptual strength, innovation and co-creation, the plans for the coming period will be evaluated further in cooperation with the local residents, the municipality of Amsterdam and other stakeholders. The proposed program consists of owner-occupied and rental housing combined with spaces for working and commercial functions. Click here to read the entire press release by AM (in Dutch).
