“A beautiful project that cleverly interweaves landscape and architecture and excels in social value”

Groenmarkt wins Zuiderkerkprijs! from the jury report: “The past few years have been bizarre years: just emerging from a pandemic – in which the importance of good public space and how we live together in our daily lives – we were confronted with drought, heat, loss of biodiversity and many consequences of climate change. At the same time, reports of housing shortages and the unaffordability of housing, especially in Amsterdam, dominated the news. As a jury, we therefore found it important to choose a project that pays attention to all these aspects: good public space, a sense of ‘community’ and beautiful shared spaces, space for nature and biodiversity and ultimately the importance of the social: a project that also included affordable social housing. The project where it all came together: where we all had the WOW feeling when we stood on the roof of the dune landscape, where Nellie could live in the middle of Amsterdam with her trinkets and pictures of her grandchildren, where the corridors were wide and pleasant and the children played on the square, that is the winner of the Zuiderkerk Prize 2022: Groenmarkt.”

The Dune Roof in Amsterdam has won the LILA 2022 award as the Best project in the category Residential Housing. Check the article here.
