The people behind Schoonschip aimed to create Europe’s most sustainable floating community in Amsterdam. We developed 46 houseboats on 30 plots for over 100 residents. We challenged ourself to be circulair and biobased as possible to build and live sustainably as possible. Schoonschip is an urban ecosystem embedded within the fabric of the city: making full use of ambient energy and water for use and re-use, cycling nutrients and minimizing waste, and creating space for natural biodiversity.
