Occupying an area of 140 m2, architect Marc Koehler has designed this house in Ijburg, a recently developed suburb of the city of Amsterdam. The main purpose of the house design was to create a vertical garden giving space to flora and fauna to grow in a densly urbanised area.

The facade contains specific brick detailing inspired by techniques from the famous Amsterdam school style from the 1920′s, which had become redundant in the 2nd half of the 20th century. By intensive cooperation with brick and mortar suppliers, masonry consultants and brick layers, the architect managed to introduce these traditional texture effects in contemporary building methods.

The green facade of the house is a ‘living facade’, changing the image of the building over time and giving space to birds and insects, creating a new urban ecosystem. Via
