The Funen Park / Masterplan Cie architekten

Posted in Architecture - Mixed use by Kseniya SHkroban | Tags: Mixed use, Amsterdam

The Funen Park is an innovative urban development concept that combines living and working spaces with sufficient green environment, a former industrial zone on the edge of Amsterdam’s city centre.

It is a concept that incorporates the qualities of diverse typologies: the construction of perimeter blocks along two sides, with a novel interpretation of the ‘garden city’ model to their rear.

The perimeter blocks shelter the inner grounds and simultaneously serve as a noise baffler for the railway behind them.

The inner space is composed of a park landscape with a great diversity of smaller building types, each with a distinctive identity and programme.

The interesting fact is that move inside the block can only be by bicycle or on foot.

All the cars are hidden under the garden.

These ‘Hidden Delights’ were designed by various architects.

The contributing architects are: de Architekten Cie, De architectengroep, NL Architects, Geurts en Schulze, Claus en Kaan architecten, DKV Architekten, Architektenburo L.

Lafour & R.

Wijk, Van Sambeek en Van Veen architecten.
