Various terraces have been created around The Orchard II with setbacks, which spiral around the building and react to the heights of the surrounding buildings. For each setback, a contrasting palette of aluminium and rhythmically placed, sloping balconies were chosen to add dynamism to the building’s appearance. The result is an eye-catching volume with a different silhouette from every angle.

We proudly present our final design for The Robin — the first residential tower in the Bajeskwartier development, a lively living and working area on the site of Amsterdam's iconic Bijlmerbajes former prison complex!

Our building occupies a prominent position in this plan — in the Central District, at the square where the two main axes intersect. With The Robin, the original volume the prison tower is rebuilt and extended with three interlocking, lower volumes. These 'boxes' are lifted 4.5 meters, creating space for a light, inviting plinth with public functions at ground level. By opening the plinth on all sides, we create a strong connection with the urban context.
