NoordBaak completed at the NDSM Wharf
Residents have moved into NoordBaak, the new residential ensemble at the NDSM Wharf in Amsterdam North. Four buildings together form a strong urban block with 207 homes and commercial amenities along the IJ waterfront.
The industrial heritage of the former shipyard served as the inspiration for De Zwarte Hond’s design. Robust volumes, clear building forms and carefully crafted detailing respond to the character of the site, while creating a new urban living environment for a diverse range of residents: 71 owner-occupied apartments and 136 social and mid-range rental homes.
The connection with the water and the collective green courtyard contribute to the quality of living at NoordBaak. Views across the IJ, shared outdoor spaces and a mix of hospitality venues, community facilities and workspaces at ground level connect the ensemble to its surroundings.
