The Entreegebied Gulden Winckel (Gulden Winckel Entrance Area) in Amsterdam’s Bos en Lommer district will be radically transformed in the coming years. As a vital fulcrum on the border of Amsterdam-West, Nieuw-West, Havenstad and Westerpark, the significance of this area will only increase as a result of this transformation. This significance lies in several aspects that make this assignment unique.
A winter garden on the side of the A10 serves as a sound buffer between homes and the motorway and also serves as the circulation and meeting space of the building. The small homes for first-time buyers lie between the busy A10 and quiet garden sides. At the heads of the building, there will be the so-called ‘sawtooth’ houses, which will be provided with a low-noise outdoor space due to their distinctive sawtooth shape.
The houses have a side with bustle and a quiet side.
The winter garden serves as an access space, meeting space and sound buffer.
