Hanging Gardens of Babylon on the Amsterdam Zuidas

Offices, homes, and hanging gardens. By the Zuidas, a rapidly developing business district in Amsterdam, plans have been made to erect a huge complex opposite the ABN Amro headquarters. The designs for this complex have come from the architect bureau MVRDV.

The project, developed by property developers Rotterdam OVG, has won the prize for the so-called Ravel P-15 plot on Beethovenstraat.

The basis of the complex is fairly traditional – overlooking office space on top of a selection of apartments. “The properties have large windows, with beautiful views and large balconies with lots of vegetation,” says architect Winy Maas from MVRDV.

Complex 'Goed Genoeg'
How many apartments and square meters of office space available will ultimately be determined later. The total complex will consist of between 50 thousand and 75 thousand square meters and rising up one hundred meters. Roughly sixty percent of the total surface area will consist of apartments. There will also be plenty of public space on the ground floor and around the building.

Besides ABN Amro, the complex will also have the sport complex 'Goed Genoeg' – home of the Amsterdam Football Club – as neighbours. The fields on the side of the Boelelaan for the sport complex will be cultivated.

Market Hall
MVRDV is one of the leading architect bureaus of The Netherlands. It has provided concept plans for the Dutch pavilion for Expo 2000 as well as designing the new Market Hall 'Markthal' in Rotterdam. In Amsterdam the bureau also held the responsibility of expanding VUmc on Amstelveenseweg and the apartments Silodam in the IJ.

OVG was previously in responsible for the Zuidas, for the home of auditors Deloitte and the law firm AKD.

I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
