They must adapt to both individual and collective needs while fostering creativity, transformation, and continuous evolution — in harmony with both people and nature.

Our Mission

Design places that inspire creativity, connection, and transformation — where people and nature can thrive together.

From the very beginning, the project was conceived to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. Timber construction minimized the use of concrete, while modular facades ensured materials could be easily replaced and recycled. Generous green spaces and a garden-facing design created a natural extension of the landscape, fostering both well-being and a strong sense of integration.

De Woonwolk’s architectural design incorporates advanced construction techniques and a carefully selected range of biobased materials, ensuring both environmental performance and adaptability. The use of locally sourced timber, hempcrete, and other sustainable materials not only reduces the carbon footprint but also enhances the building’s thermal efficiency and indoor air quality. The project incorporates an energy-positive design, with renewable energy systems, such as solar panels and geothermal heating, integrated into the fabric of the building. The adaptable floor plans and flexible communal areas are designed to accommodate future needs, ensuring long-term resilience and functionality within the evolving urban context of Amsterdam Noord.
