Palazzi on Strandeiland
Typological investigation into the palazzo as a model for housing development, Amsterdam Strandeiland
Study commission: Municipality of Amsterdam
2024
The Municipality of Amsterdam is preparing its city extension on Strandeiland. The urban plan and the city image are ready. The city needed further typological investigation of a number of plots in the plan. The typology of Southern and Central European palazzi as a model for housing construction, once derived from the residential palazzi of the Renaissance, offers possibilities for high-end construction in high densities. Outline variants for four plots have been explored.
