Our Joachim en Anna project has been completed and was immediately honoured with an Honourable Mention at the 10th Nijmegen Architecture Prize 2026. The award itself was won by the residential tower Front, designed by MONADNOCK. The professional jury also granted two Honourable Mentions, one of which went to 𝗝𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮.

The jury concluded: “This is a project created with great care and dedication, aimed at improving the quality of life for residents, staff, and the surrounding neighbourhood. The phasing — constructing while parts of the complex remained in use — presented a highly complex logistical challenge. In addition, the site features significant level differences, a demanding programme, and a limited healthcare construction budget. Despite this complexity, a clear and coherent plan has been realised that functions successfully on multiple scales.”

After 10 years of work on this major transformation, this is a wonderful recognition.

The Follies, as a permanent architectural exhibition part of our ‘Buitenplaats Koningsweg’, have been included in the Dutch Architecture Yearbook 2024/2025.

Groenmarkt has been featured in the European triennial Landscape Architecture yearbook, Landscape Architecture Europe #7! The book was presented in Vienna on March 21, 2025. It is an honor to be included among so many leading European projects.

“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.
