SPOT
The SPOT project redevelops Hogehilweg in Amsterdam-Zuidoost. The design transforms the area, previously occupied by office blocks from the 80s, into a cosmopolitan part of the city. The redesign establishes different atmospheres simultaneously, creating both an intimate inner-city environment and an expanding metropolis, the village and the city in one.
The vision, with an underlying strategy of density, is to create a space with urban dynamics, bringing comfort and achieving an alluring stratification. With a strong emphasis on residential atmosphere aside offices and commercial spaces, the programme enables considerable density, resulting in a green inner-city environment. By varying towers and lower building blocks, SPOT introduces a layer between the human scale, the buildings, and the wider environment.
