In the new Ravel residential district, something extraordinary is happening. To the south of the AFC football pitches, we are digging a canal: Ravelgracht. The fertile soil that we are removing is set to be reused in other places in Amsterdam.

The Kop Zuidas neighbourhood is almost complete. There are still two more plots to be developed, but work on them will not start until 2026 at the earliest. In the meantime, they are to be given attractive temporary landscaping. Do you have any suggestions on what it should look like?
It will not be very long before The Newton is completed in Kop Zuidas. When it comes to the appearance and quality of this energy-efficient complex, it is obvious that no expense has been spared. ‘This is genuine craftsmanship: in no way is this standard housing construction.’
