Project description
The Lycka residential tower is right next to Amsterdam Sloterdijk station and consists of 100% of social rent from Eigen Haard. The building is about 50 meters high and consists of five blocks on top of each other. Each block has different housing types: three-four-bedroom apartments, studios and studio apartments. On the first floor is a breeding place for artists.

On a limited building area, 118 compact homes were added with an ambitious program, tailored to diverse target groups and households and fitting into the contemporary district for living and working envisioned by the City of Amsterdam at this location. Sloterdijk was once intended as an office location. Now Sloterdijk-Centrum is developing into a real city district to live and work in.

The "green" character of the building is obtained because the buffering of rainwater and the generation of solar energy make actual greening possible. There is a collective garden around the fifth-floor residential shed, where climbing plants grow against the facade. All in all, the Lycka residential tower is not only a pure social housing building in a prime location, but also a contemporary project that is closely aligned with the high sustainability ambition of the City of Amsterdam.
