One of Amsterdam's central problems is the limited accessibility of Amsterdam Noord and, above all, the acute shortage of housing and land for a rapidly growing population. The project "Evergreen Amsterdam" addresses these problems and shows a potential for redensification on land previously thought to be undevelopable - the canal.
The design takes into account the urban development of the eastern harbor basin, away from its original commercial use, towards a new neighborhood. For a sustainable efficient urbanization of the whole area, the concept goes beyond a mere connection of the northern area and offers a new urban space to merge it with the city.

​​​​​​​In formal terms, the project innovatively combines current problems with the city's extensive history as one of the former largest trading ports. The transformation of a discarded container ship provides sufficient infrastructural storage space inside and, on top of that, the former deck serves as a green residential bridge. Houses made from former containers provide affordable housing and can be effectively delivered and constructed by sea.
