The Pulse of Amsterdam reaches completion
Amsterdam’s Zuidas gains a new green landmark. The unique project The Pulse of Amsterdam, where modern architecture and nature go hand in hand, officially reached completion today. The architectural design is integrally linked to an innovative landscape design that covers an impressive 40% of the plot.
With a spectacular urban forest at height, a public park, purifying water elements, green roof terraces and biosolar roofs, The Pulse of Amsterdam makes a lasting contribution to the green structure of Amsterdam and meets the highest standards in the field of housing, sustainability, mobility and nature.
The first urban forest at height in Amsterdam
Nestled between the towering skyscrapers, a unique, native urban forest takes root 35 meters above the ground. It’s a place where people can immerse themselves in nature. A floating path among the trees offers breathtaking views of the city center. The forest helps reduce heat, is water-adaptive, and contributes to biodiversity in this highly urbanized area.
The higher you go within The Pulse of Amsterdam, the more the focus shifts from human to plant and animal life
Permanent contribution to green structure
The ecological value added to the area by The Pulse of Amsterdam forms a permanent ecological stepping stone between the two largest green hubs of Amsterdam: the Amstelscheg and the Amsterdamse Bos.
Steven Delva, founder and partner at DELVA Landscape Architecture Urbanism:
“The Pulse of Amsterdam sets an example of how to approach nature-inclusive building on a powerful, future-proof scale. The uninterrupted landscape, which has biodiversity at its heart, creates a positive impact on people and animals, which is such a necessity in a dense urban environment.”
