architects wins silo design competition with Annie MG Schmidt House.
10 Apr 2009
Amsterdam city planning councilman Maarten van Poelgeest announced
the winner of the adaptive reuse design competition for the two former
sewage treatment silos in Amsterdam's Zeeburg district: the Annie
MG Schmidt House. Annie MG Schmidt (1911-1995) is Holland's most famous
author of childrens books.

The winning plan is a mutifunctional cultural center, housing a wide
range of diverse activities, including a spectacular open rooftop
playground on one silo, and restaurant Praq op 't daq built on the
rooftop of the other. The doors to the exhibition spaces and media
center, movie theater and theater hall, tower room and shops, as well
as those of the restaurant, are open seven days a week the whole year
through, welcoming visitors and locals alike. The project breathes
new life into the silos, transforming them into an inspiring and lively
place which will help shape the character of the new Zeeburgereiland
housing district.
The plan is the result of the inspired cooperation between the development
companies AM and De Alliantie, the Annie MG Schmidt Huis foundation,
restaurant Praq, Arons en Gelauff architects, landscape architect
Rob Aben, and Janneke Hooymans (This is Jane-interior design).

The Annie MG Schmidt House is expected to be completed in 2012.
