In 2020 we participated with VORM and V8 architects in the tender 'IJburg kavel 1D' in Amsterdam. It was the first time we participated in a tender together with a fellow architectural firm, using the Finch Platform as the basis for the design. The end result is a mix-use residential building with multiple housing types, for different target groups in the mid-priced rental segment.

The plan assumes a 6-meter-high plinth of recycled concrete and demountable steel, topped by 4 and 6 stories of Finch apartments by CLT. The plan includes a wide variety of community functions, such as flex spaces, a juice bar, a picking garden and padel court in the plinth. A shared laundry room, outdoor space, guest room, share library, tool cabinet also have a place within the design. The building is designed from the SOLID philosophy, allowing the spaces to remain free to be divided and to be given a new function in the future if desired.
