Multi Mill

Competition entry for a cultural facility in Houthavens West, Amsterdam: 1^st prize

Cultural Stage

The Port of Amsterdam commissioned Roos Burger & Yvon Yzermans, two collaborating art historians, to develop a cultural facility in Houthavens West. The Port wants to improve the attractiveness of the area to the public by realizing a cultural meeting place in the transforming area between city and port. The idea of NL Architects is to construct a flexible ‘base’ that can facilitate various art forms like: theater, film, fashion, sculpture, sound and light art, dance, video, music… Roos Burger & Yvon Yzermans will curate the outdoor events.
