In November 2016, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and BARCODE Architects were announced as the winners of a design competition for a new landmark in Amsterdam.

The 46,000 sq. m mixed-use Sluishuis (Lock House) will be located in Ijburg, an emerging neighbourhood near the harbour area of Amsterdam’s historic city centre. The development will offer 380 zero-energy residences, approximately 4,000 sq. m of commercial and common areas, 240 underground parking spaces, and a comprehensive water-quality programme.

The design has been inspired by classic European courtyard typology, which embraces the canal site and appears different from every vantage point. At one vantage point it appears like a vertical green community; at another, a traditional urban block with street access; and at another, like the bow of a ship reflecting the water.

[[File:Sluishius4.jpg]]

A large opening is formed by the block being lifted up toward the water, bringing natural light to the inner apartments. The block steps down like a cascade of landscaped terraces toward the urban district. Winding around the building will be a promenade, with public passages climbing the cascading terraces and serving as a small rooftop street that will loop to the top of the building and creating a viewing platform.

The ambitious sustainability of the design was identified as having impressed the jury making the decision. The environmental impact will be reduced during the construction phase, limiting total CO2 emissions, and using renewable resources throughout the building.

Bjarke Ingels, Founding Partner, BIG said:

“Having spent my formative years as an architect in Holland at the end of the 20th century, it feels like a homecoming to now get to contribute to the architecture of the city that I have loved and admired for so long.

“Our Sluishuis is conceived as a city block of downtown Amsterdam floating in the IJ Lake, complete with all aspects of city life. Towards the city, the courtyard building kneels down to invite visitors to climb its roof and enjoy the panoramic view of the new neighborhoods on the IJ. Toward the water, the building rises from the river, opening a gigantic gate for ships to enter and dock in the port/yard. A building inside the port, with a port inside the building.”
