Oostelijke Handelskade Amsterdam

A former docks area along the banks of Amsterdams IJ waterway is
being transformed into a high-density residential and business area. On
the site known as De Pakhuysen (The Warehouses), old warehouses
and new blocks form a differentiated complex of interlocking buildings
that preserve the views through to the IJ. The buildings stand on a shared
base containing a car park, and the entrances are set along a narrow,
oblong public space. As well as drawing up the urban development plan,
KCAP designed the car park and two of the four sculptural blocks.
