The Amsterdam metropolitan region functions as a dynamic daily urban system where people live, work and relax made possible by a robust network of metro, rail stations, highways and bike paths. Due to the extraordinary high housing demand this metropolitan system is currently unleashing many underused and forgotten locations into high density urbanized destinations. The Entrada area located on the west side of Duivendrecht beside a metro station is one such place, a mono-functional office area where people only come to work and leave.
The unique location gives Entrada the potential to create a thriving green neighbourhood for compact city life. In the 21st century, domestic luxury is about having choices, choosing between large apartment or urban villas, working in your own building or riding your bike to the city centre for a meeting. A generous range of local facilities is the starting point, while also enjoying the attention to public space and a community atmosphere can give the entire neighbourhood of Entrada its own character.
