Provast wins tender for Amsterdam Muyskenkwartier with innovative housing concept ‘Hoeksteen

The 'Hoeksteen' project comprises 21,000 sqm GFA above ground, including 210 homes in the social, mid-rental, and free sector purchase segments. The plan distinguishes itself with a strong vision for sustainable and socially urban living. Located within the ring of Amsterdam, Hoeksteen adds a residential layer to this multifunctional area, with a nod to the expressive Amsterdam School.

Hoeksteen is designed to retain families in Amsterdam, featuring diverse housing typologies and a flexible layout that moves away from the standard concrete floor plan. The collective inner garden is formed around three mature trees that provide shelter, cooling, and a green experience from day one. A powerful gesture in the dense city.

Thanks to the wooden column construction and biobased materials, the CO₂ footprint is minimal. The flexibility of the column construction makes the building future-proof, as it can adapt to changing housing needs and functions.

Construction is planned to start in mid-2026, with expected completion in 2028. Provast has worked on the submission with the team Studioninedots, ZUS, Buro Happold, Skonk, and Stipo.
