design vision
Local authority developers have agreed that the Houthavens must become a 100% climate-neutral neighborhood. The Houthavens has been built in an environmentally friendly manner, with extra attention paid to energy and material use.
The project was completed in 2018 and was designed by architect Neelu Boparai. She found her inspiration in the Houthavens itself, but also in the Entrepotdok, the sturdy warehouses in Hamburg, and the lofts in New York.
The assignment for Wiborgeiland was to design a 150-meter-long residential strip with views of the water on both sides. The theme for this island was 'Stoere Jongens' (Tough Guys), referring to the warehouses of the past. Stoere Jongens is located on the first island on the west side of the Houthavens. All the islands in the Houthavens are named after the Hanseatic cities with which trade was conducted in the past. Amsterdam's rich trading culture is reflected in the architecture of Wiborg. There is a varied facade with nine variations for three apartment buildings and sixteen individual properties. The sturdy warehouses have different details, ranging from a sleek, more modern look to a more literal translation of a classic warehouse with brickwork.
Wiborgeiland 122
The apartment is located on the first, second, and third floors of the complex on Wiborgeiland. Wiborgeiland is characterized by Sustainability, the use of high-quality materials, and water on two sides: both the front and back overlook a canal. The apartment has a luxurious finish with smooth stucco and paintwork and stylish wooden (herringbone) parquet flooring on the floor and stairs. It is also energy efficient (energy label A), as it is fully equipped with district heating, HR++ glass, solar panels (for the owners' association) and underfloor heating and cooling. To park your car and/or (cargo) bike, you can take the elevator from the apartment to the basement, where there is a private parking space and a separate private storage room. In addition, there is a central bicycle storage room in the building, which all residents can use.
Living, cooking and outdoors
Via the main entrance or from the parking garage you can take the elevator to the third floor, where all the entrances of the upper apartments are located. From the gallery you step through the front door into a welcome hall with wardrobe. There you take the stairs down to the spacious living room and kitchen. It is a beautiful, light space with high ceilings, which gives a very spacious feeling. The living floor offers more than enough space for a large dining and sitting area and a home workplace. The entire living floor has a stylish wooden herringbone parquet floor.
At the front, adjacent to the kitchen, you open the folding doors to the balcony, where you can relax in the sun in the afternoon and evening. Here you can enjoy the view of the canal and you can even see as far as the IJ and Amsterdam-Noord. At the rear, large windows provide plenty of natural light and there is also a view of the water here.
The spacious kitchen has plenty of storage space, is modern and centrally positioned in the living room. The kitchen is fully equipped with Siemens built-in appliances, such as an oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and a Quooker tap. There is also a bar at the kitchen unit, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a drink with friends.
Sleeping and bathing

In the morning, we like to enjoy a cup of coffee in the sunshine by the canal, with the window at the back wide open. At the end of the afternoon, we often have drinks and dinner on the balcony, watching the boats sailing past our house and the large ships passing by on the IJ.
