Crossover, in the Kop Zuidas area, at the corner of the A10 Zuid exit and Europaboulevard, is an exciting blend of housing, employment, and amenities. The office floors in the building complex were completed in May 2023, residents received the keys to their homes in July 2023.
From the outset, the plan was for a building with multiple functions: office accommodation, housing – including some social housing – and cultural and commercial amenities. Area developer AM was awarded the tender in November 2017, thanks to the impressive level of ambition in its proposal.
Exacting demands
The City of Amsterdam also set exacting demands for the building’s sustainability. In addition, health and well-being were key elements in the design – particularly topical at the moment. This is reflected in such features as abundant natural daylight, greenery and excellent ventilation. Another factor that needed to be taken into account was the noise from the A10. Any noise disruption from vehicles are effectively resolved by the design of the façade and use of materials.
Good mixture
Crossover has six storeys of housing on one side and nine office floors on the other. They are connected to each other on the ground floor, where space has been created for people to meet, featuring social functions and hospitality/catering. The office section aims to provide space for an interesting mixture of different tenants. A unique feature is that the tenants on every office floor will also have a green terrace at their disposal.
Housing for everyone
The social rented housing in Crossover includes 60 flats for student first-timers and 60 for refugees with residence permits. The landlord is Woonstichting De Key. They are able to meet each other in the communal areas. In addition to the 120 social housing units, the building also has ten owner-occupied studios. Outdoor space has also been included in the design: there are also various terraces across the building for residents to use. The complex is completed in July 2023.
