Location
The Houthavens is a success; a relatively new neighborhood with 7 islands and beautiful canals. The neighborhood has a perfect location: close to the center of Amsterdam and directly by the IJ-river. There are various schools, after-school care, and daycare facilities in the area.
There are many cozy restaurants, cafés, coffee shops, and terraces nearby. Think of Anne & Max, George Deli, wine bar Compartir, Dignita, restaurant Vessel at Boat & Co (with a beautiful terrace by the water where many people swim in the summer), and Bar Hout, which is next to the playground. With the Houthaven ferry or your own boat, you can easily reach Amsterdam-Noord: at Loetje, Pllek, or Helling 7.
From this cozy neighborhood, you are also just a few minutes away from the Spaarndammerstraat, where you can find groceries, restaurants and cafés, gyms, and a public library. The Jordaan, Haarlemmerbuurt, and Westerpark are also within walking and biking distance.
From the Houthavens, you can easily reach Central Station and Sloterdijk Station. There are also various public transport connections (including the bus and ferry), and by car, you can be on the Ring A10-West and Ring A10-North within 5 minutes.

The living area offers more than enough space for a large dining and seating area and a home office. The space has a beautiful height, giving a very spacious feel.

Designvision
The municipality and developers have agreed that the Houthavens must become a 100% climate-neutral neighborhood. In the Houthavens, environmentally friendly construction has been prioritized, with special attention to energy and material use.
The Wiborg project was completed in 2018 and was designed by architect Neelu Boparai. She drew her inspiration from the Houthavens themselves, as well as from the Entrepotdok, the sturdy warehouses in Hamburg, and the lofts in New York.
The brief for the Wiborg island was to design a 150-meter-long residential strip with water views on both sides. The theme for this island was ‘Tough Guys,’ referring to the warehouses of the past. The Tough Guys are 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. The rich Amsterdam trading culture is reflected in the architecture of Wiborg. There is a varied façade design with nine variations for three apartment buildings and sixteen individual properties. The rugged warehouses are detailed differently, ranging from a sleek, more modern appearance to a more literal translation of a classic warehouse with brickwork.
Wiborgeiland 122
Het appartement bevindt zich op de eerste, tweede en derde etage van het complex aan Wiborgeiland. Wiborgeiland kenmerkt zich door de duurzaamheid, het gebruik van hoogwaardige materialen en het water aan twee kanten: zowel de voorkant als de achterkant kijken uit op een gracht. Het appartement is luxe afgewerkt met glad stuc- en schilderwerk en een stijlvolle houten (visgraat)parketvloer op de vloer én op de trappen. Ook is het energiezuinig (energielabel A), doordat het volledig voorzien is van stadsverwarming, HR++ glas, zonnepalen (voor de VVE) en vloerverwarming en vloerkoeling. Voor het parkeren van de auto en/of (bak)fiets kun je vanuit de woning met de lift naar de onderbouw waar een eigen privé parkeerplaats en een separate privéberging zijn. Daarnaast is er in het pand een centrale fietsenberging aanwezig, waar alle bewoners gebruik van kunnen maken.

This is a beautiful, bright space with high ceilings, creating a very open feel. The living floor offers more than enough space for a large dining and seating area and a home office. The entire living floor features a stylish wooden herringbone parquet floor.
At the front, adjacent to the kitchen, you can open the folding doors to the balcony, where you can enjoy the sun in the afternoon and evening. Here, you can take in the view of the canal and even see as far as the IJ and Amsterdam-Noord. At the back, large windows provide plenty of natural light and also offer a view of the water.
The spacious kitchen has ample storage space, is modern, and centrally positioned in the living room. The kitchen is fully equipped with Siemens built-in appliances, such as a oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and a Quooker tap. There is also a bar at the kitchen island where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a drink with friends.
