Organic Diversity at Scale.
Scale requires variety. Rather than a single monolith, we developed seven buildings with varying heights (22 to 60 meters) and material identities. This creates an organic "city block" feel rather than a sterile complex. The design includes 1,100 m² of commercial space, ensuring residents have amenities at their doorstep.
The Green Lung of the District.
In a dense industrial area, green space is a premium asset. De Werf is designed around a large inner courtyard that connects the buildings. It serves as the "green lung" of the development, providing accessibility and a social meeting place that softens the industrial surroundings for residents.
Industrial scale meets human connection. The project visualizes the transformation of the NDSM wharf from shipyard to residential district. The images highlight the architectural diversity of the seven buildings and the central role of the courtyard in linking the Student Experience studios with the private rental apartments.
Quality projects demand quality partnerships. We work with leading professionals across Europe who share our vision for innovative, sustainable, and community-focused living concepts.
