Built for the Character of the Place

Context-driven design at scale

The architecture had to earn its place on the former NDSM shipyard. Clad in Corten steel with a facade language compared to late 19th-century Chicago, the 12-storey complex reflects the industrial character of its surroundings while delivering a modern, full-service living environment. The 403 studios range from 21 to 31 m², each with a private kitchen and bathroom. Bouwinvest acquired the asset through a joint venture with COD, Borghese Real Estate and Verweij Mungra Vastgoed. The project was recognised with the Best New Student Housing Development award by The Class Foundation in 2018.

A ferry ride from Central Station

The free ferry from Amsterdam Centraal brings residents to the NDSM wharf in minutes. Inside the complex, a lounge, game corner, study rooms, private dining room and launderette occupy the ground floor. The rooftop combines a sports field with a terrace and loungers across 12 storeys of unobstructed views over the IJ. On-site medical facilities, including a GP, dentist and physiotherapist, are connected to the building. Outside, the NDSM neighbourhood offers Pllek, Loetje aan het IJ and some of Amsterdam's best summer festivals.

Corten steel, 12 storeys, and a rooftop sports field overlooking the IJ. NDSM was the third Student Experience complex and the first to be built as a permanent structure within a larger mixed-use development. Opened in 2017, its architecture draws on the industrial heritage of the former shipyard while delivering the full Student Experience standard.
