Ecology matters
Unwind in your urban jungle
Between the two buildings of The Hive a climate forest is arises that will grow with its inhabitants and create a wealth of relaxation spots. The realization of such a tiny forest within a new construction project is unique in Amsterdam.
For a true urban jungle feeling, tread through the climate forest via wooden decking paths. Benches, swings and other chill & chat nooks allow you to fully absorb the presence of nature in the city. Invite your neighbors, friends or family to get a breath of fresh air in the comfort of your own home environment.
Energy efficient living
The climate forest, façade greenery and terraces form a lush landscape on and around The Hive. ‘Green’ is the key word here, in all its facets. Every aspect of energy supply has been carefully considered to create an ecological overall story.
The project is connected to the Amsterdam heat grid and uses an innovative cold-heat storage system. In this way, the apartments achieve an energy label of at least A+++ or even A++++ and are therefore very economical. Nothing but benefits for your energy bill.
The large proportion of solar panels ensures that more energy is generated than is required for the building’s installations. Rainwater is collected and buffered in wadis.
Boost for biodiversity
What makes a climate forest so different from an ordinary garden? It aims to create a fordable landscape where you stroll between shady spots with lush plantings and various resting points where the sun’s rays shine through the trees. Various native tree species will, each at their own pace, add volume and oxygen to the forest. Will you soon find yourself in this green oasis in the city?
