Construction has started on Sluisbuurt 1B in Amsterdam!

We collaborated with @beyondspace.eu on Sluisbuurt 1B, a mixed-use residential building in Amsterdam's new Sluisbuurt neighborhood on Zeeburgereiland.

Conceived as a “stacked neighborhood,” the project brings together 228 apartments, of which 80% are dedicated to social housing, alongside a community center, work units, retail, shared amenities, and public spaces. Three residential volumes rise above an active double-height plinth, with brick color, façade rhythm, and detailing giving each part its own character.

Above the plinth, residential clusters support different ways of living. Family homes are located near the courtyard and outdoor play areas, homes for older residents are placed along generous galleries and a shared living room, and apartments for young professionals and single-person households connect to the collective roof garden and shared indoor spaces.

Shared spaces are placed along the building's natural routes, creating easy points of contact close to home while preserving space for rest and retreat.

Together, these residential and public spaces allow Sluisbuurt 1B to offer more than affordable housing: they support a community that can grow alongside the new neighborhood.

From industrial harbor to residential waterfront: this is KAAP!

@powerhousecompany, @orangearchitectsnl and @nextarchitects delivered KAAP: five freestanding residential buildings with 70 apartments, ground-floor commercial spaces, and a circular hospitality pavilion. Commissioned by @amvestnl and @cod_developmentpioneers, KAAP brings housing and hospitality into a green setting with new routes, planting, and places to unwind along the IJ.

The ensemble shares a robust material character rooted in the site’s industrial past, while each building has its own identity.

@powerhousecompany designed Coast and Verde with glass, black steel, flexible layouts, and generous outdoor spaces, drawing on the idea of the modern harbor loft. 
 
@orangearchitectsnl designed Horn and York with white concrete bases, sculptural corten-steel tops, broad lower apartments facing the IJ, and sheltered loggias higher up. 
 
@nextarchitects designed Blanc, with yellow-pigmented concrete, perforated panels, and flared balconies, as well as the circular KAAP pavilion, built with 92% recycled or bio-based materials.

Not a flat ceiling in sight!

Great progress on the assembly of KJ Den Haag's double-curved timber ceiling, inspired by the city’s coastal dune landscape. Due to the ceiling curving in multiple directions, turning it into a buildable system required a project-specific design logic. The surface was mapped like topography, with isolines projected across it to make the geometry readable at full scale.

KJ Den Haag will become a new gateway to The Hague, introducing a new entrance hall for the central station, with two residential towers above, linked by a ‘green valley’ between them. On ground level, the square will include landscaping by @delva.la, a new restaurant pavilion, and a more fluid connection to Koekamp Park.

What place does manual making still have in a digital world?

To celebrate @rotterdamartweek, we are collaborating with @vanoosterom.gallery on a very special sixth edition of Beyond Buildings, exploring what happens to our relationship with materials, process, and space when speed, ease, and automation increasingly influence how we create.

Multidisciplinary artists and designers Audrey Large and Lorena Rode join award-winning filmmaker and moderator Niki Padidar for a conversation on staying connected to process rather than simply consumption, exploring how artists and designers can continue to claim space for connection and hands-on work today.

With Audrey's latest exhibition FLOWSTONES and curated works by Lorena Rode on view all evening, the night invites you to listen in, look around, and connect with others across art, design, architecture, and beyond.

📆 Thursday, March 26, 19.00-21:00
📍 VAN OOSTEROM GALLERY, Rotterdam
🎟️ Capacity is limited, claim your ticket via the link in bio!

Construction has started on The Ark in Amsterdam!

Th Ark, a timber residential building, is designed for future-oriented living, with an emphasis on residents' well-being. Located in Overhoeks, the project forms part of a rapidly growing district in the north of Amsterdam.

The Ark comprises 125 apartments and uses a cross-laminated timber structure that stores carbon, reduces the building’s environmental footprint, and enables faster, more efficient assembly. Visible timber surfaces bring warmth and tactility to the interior, qualities often associated with comfort and emotional well-being.

Full-width balconies wrap around the building and its two distinct façades: a lively street frontage with a welcoming entrance and publicly accessible terrace, and a quieter waterfront side with access to a communal garden. A central entrance hall links both sides and forms the social heart of the building.

Visible timber surfaces bring warmth and tactility to the interior, qualities often associated with comfort and emotional well-being.

Full-width balconies wrap around the building and its two distinct façades: a lively street frontage with a welcoming entrance and publicly accessible terrace, and a quieter waterfront side with access to a communal garden. A central entrance hall links both sides and forms the social heart of the building.

Construction has started on The Ark in Amsterdam!

Curious what it takes to deliver a high-rise within the heart of Rotterdam's Baan Quarter?

Our new five-part BaanTower documentary series follows the project's journey, from first concept to construction and completion.

Episode 1 "Developing in the City Center" explores the site's conditions, challenges and opportunities, with insights from @jos.melchers, Neil Slater, and @nannederu.

As 2025 comes to an end, we look back on how our mission to give meaning to space continues to guide us through various projects - across typologies, scales and geographies.

From marking the closing ceremony of @bibliotheekrotterdam as it moves into its next chapter, pushing affordable, sustainable housing further with Valckensteyn, to celebrating the completion of 5TRACKS in Breda - a once-neglected station-area site, now transformed into a welcoming, future-proof mixed-use ensemble, and recognised as Office Building of the Year!

We thank our amazing team, clients, and collaborators for another year of creating meaningful spaces together.

We wish you and those around you a restful end of the year and a healthy, inspiring start to 2026.
- Happy Holidays from the Powerhouse Company team!

“Supertall for all” – How can we realise 50% affordable housing in one of New York’s most expensive neighbourhoods?

5050 Gansevoort is our 50/50 competition proposal for Gansevoort Square: a slender, all-electric, low-carbon residential tower. Set beside the High Line and the iconic Whitney Museum, this supertall includes 50% affordable and 50% market-rate homes, mixed equally from base to top.

In a context where most residential towers over 600 feet built in the last 15 years have delivered little to no affordable housing, our proposal provides nearly 4 times more affordable units than comparable developments: A total of 1,000 rental homes, equally split and organised through a repeatable floorplate of twelve homes per level.

The tiered façade becomes lighter as it rises, shifting in materiality, linking the building to both its context and the skyline. Residents enjoy a two-storey sky garden on level 53 with stunning views, a communal roof terrace on level 2, along other shared amenities. At the base, a two-storey public plinth offers community-oriented commercial space at accessible rents and creates more public space along the High Line and the Hudson River.

5050 Gansevoort, though not selected, was developed in direct response to New York's pressured housing market, showing how meaningful affordability can be achieved without compromising sustainability or architectural quality.

How can Rotterdam’s history of experimentation, resilience, and bold ideas inspire a more beautiful, inclusive, and optimistic tomorrow?

In this fifth edition of Beyond Buildings, we focus on the city’s constant drive to adapt - its ability to question itself and keep moving forward, which uniquely refines Rotterdam.

Together with Hilde Sennema and Mitchel E. Sam-Sin, we will uncover how memory and imagination interact in shaping the city’s identity. Hilde brings a historical lens, tracing how Rotterdam’s transformations have defined its mindset, while Mitchel highlights the cultural dynamics, voices, and communities that are redefining its energy today. The discussion will be moderated by Dore van Duivenbode, inviting us all to reflect on how we can contribute to the city’s ongoing story.

As the Central Library closes its doors on 28 November, it marks an step closer to its ongoing transformation.

Together with the City of Rotterdam and the Rotterdam Central Library, we are reshaping this cultural landmark. In collaboration with Atelier Oslo + Lundhagem, we’re creating a lighter, more transparent building that connects with its surroundings, a renewed library that strengthens its place in the city centre and remains an open, inviting public space.

Before the closure, we joined a sold-out edition of Parfum de BoemBoem, guided by our partner architect Albert Takashi Richters, a final look at the building in transition before the next stage of renewal begins.

We are pleased to be part of Dutch Architects Today, a new publication presenting a collective portrait of contemporary architecture in the Netherlands.

The book features forty leading Dutch practices whose work reflects the strength and diversity of design in the country. Together, they capture how architecture in the Netherlands continues to evolve through innovation, research, and a shared focus on sustainability and spatial quality.

Our featured projects - Loop of Wisdom, Bunker Tower and Floating Office Rotterdam - demonstrate the themes that define our current work and its connection to a wider architectural dialogue. In their material articulation and detailing, they express how innovation in architecture can be both technical and human.
