Architects: Wansleben Architekten
Text description provided by the architects. Live and work by the water, partake of a maritime setting, and all in a renovated building steeped in history. Derelict harbour districts have a flair all of their own. Urban planners have been addressing this flair for a couple of decades now in an endeavour to breathe new life into brown sites with revitalisation measures. The navy barracks in the port of Amsterdam carry just such potential. And in the north-easterly most corner, where two urban worlds collide, lie the district offices of the Dutch military police, the Koninklijke Marechausse (KMAR). Right by the water, right by a bridge, a stone’s throw from the ancient city centre.
