Oostelijke Handelskade Amsterdam

Dutch Architecture - design by KCAP Architects, The Netherlands

8 Feb 2008 Oostelijke Handelskade Amsterdam picture from architect Oostelijke Handelskade A former docks area along the banks of Amsterdam’s 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.
