Andreas Luco — Thu, 21 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Where Grasweg meets the Amsterdam-Noord waterfront, KAAP occupies a prominent position on the IJ. Once an industrial harbor area, this part of the city is being reworked into a new district as part of Cityplot Buiksloterham, the urban plan by Studioninedots and DELVA Landscape Architects & Urbanism. Commissioned by AMVEST and COD, with buildings designed by Powerhouse Company, Orange Architects, and NEXT architects, KAAP combines 70 apartments across five residential buildings with ground-floor commercial spaces and a circular hospitality pavilion, set within the future Oeverpark along the IJ.

Andreas Luco — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Watchtower Einderheide takes recreational visitors to new heights to view and experience the surrounding forest. The 26-meter high wooden construction also provides a habitat for the various bat species present in the area. The design is modest, but has a recognizable and iconic shape that contributes to the identity of Einderheide.

Secret Forest Tree Pavilion / NEXT architects

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0000

Designed by NEXT Architects, Waag Woensel-West is a milestone in the redevelopment of Eindhoven’s Woensel-West neighborhood. Once designated as a disadvantaged neighborhood, it is now considered an attractive neighborhood to live and work in.

Windesheim Bridges / NEXT architects

Valeria Silva — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 10:00:00 +0000

The monumental estate Windesheim has been enriched with eight new bridges, designed by NEXT architects. Together they make a series of recognizable connection points and seating areas on the walking route through the park. The elegant arch bridges appear and disappear in the landscape. The design is not a literal reconstruction, but an interpretation of the style characteristics of the historical heritage, with a modern, contemporary twist. Past and present come together.

The New N69 Bridge / NEXT architects

Andreas Luco — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0000

The ‘Greenest Road of Brabant’ makes geographical connections and embodies the connection between infrastructure, the valuable landscape of forests and stream valleys, and the people with their interests. The renewal of the 8,5 km provincial road has increased the liveability and accessibility of the N69 and its border with Belgium. By constructing a high-quality road that is placed naturally in the landscape, the user experience has been optimized. Maximizing spatial quality, integration, sustainability, and ecology was therefore one of the most important project objectives in the elaboration of the integral design.

House Buiksloterham / NEXT architects

Paula Pintos — Tue, 11 May 2021 06:00:00 +0000

A layered house, with a special skin and a warm heart. This is the starting point for this private residence in the raw, industrial development area of Amsterdam North. House Buiksloterham consists of a single open-plan residence on four different levels.

Lucky Knot / NEXT architects

Cristobal Rojas — Fri, 15 Jan 2021 23:00:00 +0000

NEXT architects are working on a unique series of bridges all over the world. This time, their latest design isn’t an intriguing bat bridge (nominated for the 2016 Dutch Design Awards), but an iconic bridge in China: the Lucky Knot. The new steel pedestrian bridge in the Chinese mega city Changsha is 185 metres long and 24 metres high and fits perfectly in the sequence of extraordinary bridges that characterise NEXT’s practice; by explicitly engaging with the local context, the bridge designs offer new perspectives.

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 12:00:00 +0000

In the Funenpark in Amsterdam, an old industrial shack has been transformed into a unique private residence and studio space at just a few minutes’ walk from the city centre. House M&M immediately catches the eye with its 30-metre-long black and 9-metres-high black, graphic facade. It is composed of a grid of black wooden panels. House M&M is designed by NEXT architects and Claudia Linders.

Holland Boulevard and Rijksmuseum Schiphol / NEXT architects

Andreas Luco — Sat, 13 Jul 2019 02:00:00 +0000

You can wander through the Dutch polder landscape while at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The landscape was the main source of inspiration behind the new Holland Boulevard, an international departures hall designed by NEXT architects and that now comprises various typical Dutch-inspired sitting rooms. These rooms are separated by low walls; together, they form the horizon of this vast space of 5,000 m2. Each room has its own atmosphere and ambiance and so the Holland Boulevard takes visitors on a real voyage of discovery.

Dafne Schippersburg Bridge / NEXT architects and rudy uytenhaak + partners architecten

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 19 Jun 2019 01:00:00 +0000

The bridge is a winning design by NEXT architects and Rudy Uytenhaak Architectenbureau in collaboration with Arup and Bureau B+B commissioned by the city of Utrecht. What makes this bridge so special is the inventiveness: the structure integrates a cycle and pedestrian bridge with a school and public garden, forming one single cohesive design. The doublé land use with the máximum space for greenery makes the Dafne Schippers Bridge unique, not just as a bridge but also as a destination.

The Elastic Perspective / NEXT architects

Daniel Sánchez — Sat, 13 Apr 2019 17:00:00 +0000

A rusty steel ring is gently draped upon a grass hill in Carnisselande, a Rotterdam suburb. It’s a giant circular stair leading the visitor up to a height that allows an unhindered view of the horizon and the nearby skyline of Rotterdam. The path makes a continuous movement and thereby draws on the context of the heavy infrastructural surrounding of ring road and tram track. While a tram stop presents the end or the start of a journey, the route of the stairway is endless.

It Goddeloas Fiersicht / NEXT architects

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 02:00:00 +0000

It Goddeloas Fiersicht (literally: "the godless sight") openend in the Northern Dutch province of Friesland. It has become a mystical place where visitors enjoy and experience a panoramic view of the landscape of the Noardlike Fryske Wâlden. It Goddeloas Fiersicht is one of three artworks that are executed in the context of the newly constructed provincial road DeCentrale As.

Zalige Bridge / NEXT architects

Cristobal Rojas — Sat, 17 Feb 2018 02:00:00 +0000

The Zalige bridge in Nijmegen is the key project linked to water and its uses within the urban river park that was created as part of Room for the River Waal, a nation-wide project initiated by the ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment to prevent flooding. In Nijmegen the measures included the displacement of the dike, combined with the construction of a lateral gully in the widened floodplains. This bypass created a new recreational island and a new urban river park. The Zalige bridge is the icon of the path that runs through the riverpark.

Rose Museum / NEXT architects

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 10 Jul 2017 22:00:00 +0000

The Beijing Rose Museum is the main venue for the 2016 World Rose Convention, in which over thirty countries participate. In this 100 hectare rose park over 2.000 species of roses will be exhibited.

B.Amsterdam / NEXT architects

Cristobal Rojas — Sat, 17 Dec 2016 09:00:00 +0000

What can be done with a 18.000 m2 empty office building situated at the outskirts of the city and that has been deemed unsuited for redevelopment for the last 11 years? This is the big challenge faced with B.Amsterdam at the Johan Huizingalaan in Amsterdam. From the start, NEXT architects was closely involved in the transformation of this static cube-shaped building into a lively hotspot for startups, freelancers and creative entrepreneurs. Strategic interventions are used to strengthen the quality, experience and identity of the building.
