Project: Zandpad Community Centre
Location: Amsterdam [NL]
Year: 2014
Client: Stichting Zandpad
Phase: Preliminary Design
The small community centre consists of three spaces: a daycare, space for activities for elderly and a youth club. The centre is directly owned and run by the local community and is part of a small playground. The three houses characterize the interaction and dialogue with the different users and enabling the community members to come together and socialize and most of all to have fun. Furthermore we think every architect should design a tree house in his or her career at least once 🙂
