Project details

Project details

Following the demise of the Nederlandsche Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij (NDSM) shipyards in the 1980s, an attractive place for artists and cultural entrepreneurs was created on a large industrial wasteland in the north of Amsterdam. To ensure the area continues to grow without losing its impulsive, creative character, a new district has been developed that combines big & small, hustle & bustle and peace & quiet. The Pontkade district features pioneering architecture and builds a bridge between the NDSM’s industrial past and its vibrant future. Each unit, a mixture of residential, office and commercial spaces, is brought to life by its unique architecture and façade material. What they all share in common is their raw and rugged character – similar to the old shipyard – and functional architecture that reflects the industrial heritage of the old site. (AWS 70 special construction, AWS 70.HI, ADS 70 HI, FWS 50).

Highly thermally insulated window system with attractive range of solutions

As part of the Schüco AWS system platform, Schüco AWS 70.HI (High Insulation) offers an attractive range of solutions with outstanding thermal insulation for the 70 mm basic depth.

It is based on the functional, energy-efficiency and design properties of the aluminium construction: perfectly tailored components combine benefits such as excellent thermal insulation values, narrow face widths and concealed, standard manual or electromechanical fittings for inward and outward-opening windows.

The high level of flexibility of the system enables a variety of uses to meet a range of different building envelope requirements: as a punched opening, ribbon window or façade insert unit, as well as in combination with Schüco door systems.
