de ceuvelexecutive summary DE CEUVEL De Ceuvel is a planned workplace for creative and social enterprises adjacent to a canal off the river IJ in northern Amsterdam. The land was secured for a 10-year lease in 2012. The formerly industrial plot has heavily polluted soils that will be treated with a phytoremediation garden (“The Forbidden Garden”) designed by Delva Landscape Architects in collaboration with the University of Ghent. Scattered throughout the plot will be reclaimed and retroffitted houseboats that will house offices, ateliers, and workshops. The de Ceuvel site will also have some public functions including a teahouse and bed and breakfast. STRATEGY AND ACTIVITIES The de Ceuvel development strategy we recommend takes place over three phases. © 2012 space&matter Above is an artist’s impression of the de Ceuvel site once the buildings and walkways are constructed. The site design and image were made by architecture firm space&matter, one of the initiators of the de Ceuvel project and the developer of the concept. In the first phase of the de Ceuvel deployment plan, the boats will be retrofitted off-site to a very high level of eco-efficiency. The focus is primarily on basic repairs, insulation, and the installation of a solar heating system. The main goal of this phase is to achieve sufficient insulation and renewable heating capacity to eliminate the need for a gas connection. Secondary goals include installing a rainwater collection system, dry toilets for sanitation, and integrating ecological elements such as green roofs into the boat structures. We will work together with architects space&matter to ensure that the boats are retrofitted to a high level of architectural quality. The materials budget for phase one is capped at a strict limit of 5.000 € per boat. To keep to this budget, a lot of creativity will be required to scavenge free and cheap 16 / 146 Pagina 15
