Rietveld Architects was one of the first firms invited to help transform a century-old industrial wharf on Cruquius, a peninsula along Amsterdam's eastern waterfront, into a multi-use neighborhood with ample green space. The firm was commissioned to design the headquarters for Amvest, the company spearheading the development, along with two 40-unit apartment buildings, consisting of condos and rentals.
To take full advantage of the site, Rietveld Architects conceived a series of glass and white-glazed brick structures that offer sweeping views of the water and city. A parking garage was placed underground, so that the area would have an inviting waterfront boardwalk. On the ground level of the developer's office building, a bistro with a soaring ceiling doubles as a cafeteria for employees, while providing the site destination appeal.
