Tour Of Biophilic Apartment In Amsterdam

Building with natural materials, using light as much as possible and incorporating the nearby landscape into the residence is part of the concept called biophilic architecture. It aims to connect a building's residents with the natural surroundings. The Freebooter apartment complex in Amsterdam in the Netherlands was built according to this concept. We went there to check it out and talk to its residents to see if they feel any closer to nature.

This biophilic apartment architecture is beautiful.

People are so obsessed with deforestation in this comments haha. Wood is very good for the clime and is RENEWABLE! It's the best material to use if you produce it wisely and it's eco.
I wonder what would be your reaction guys in Romania where over 95% of houses has a framing roof(that means ALOT of wood). There's barely any terrace roof, even blocks have framing. Making a big framing roof probably consumes as much wood as was used at this building.

This is quite remarkable. Thanks for showing us this. ❤

This comment section is the reason why architects go through 5 years of intense training programs and licensing. Imagine sitting there after graduation, "wood house bad, neoclassicism good" XD

The stripe shadows created by the wooden bars outside the first house would drive me crazy.

This the best channels, covering Architecture.

One of The best contemporare architecture.

As we all witnessed in the last "natural modern" movement owners don't maintain the exposed wooden siding, screens, and trim. Most of the Post War modern buildings facia boards, trim and other exposed timber simply rot. The issue then becomes whether this model really is sustainable. All this exterior lattice is fragile and very hard to replace without small cranes or scaffolding. Plus the cost of wood continues to climb.

Another cool Euromaxx production. (:-)

i see good architecture + dog, i like

[tandrewl]

A nice idea however lots of timber = lots of fire.

[deep.space.]

How on earth did using wood, one of the oldest construction material, got rebranded as "biophilic"? Sounds like mold/termite-philic to me.

Why is our architecture becoming more depressing every 50 years
Remember the cities during Imperial Germany how beautiful they were, remember St. Petersburg which is still standing
It has been scientifically proven that beautiful architecture boosts happiness in population

[LostAkkadian]

Beautiful house, though I’m against using this much wood. I guess you could use an alternative that kinda looks like wood?

[dingsinyee]

Termite would grateful for providing them such a wonderful wood panel.

[Zeratul]

I'm sorry this is stupid We are already going through a deforestation crisis globally this cannot be the answer for an alternative to concrete

[RioMuc]

Do I have to like this house? Because I don't.

[Sanpedranoazul]

Less forests, what are you thinking??? And the concept is not even new, ask Le Corbusier

[dailylife]

And climate change due to deforestation, is still loading.

[BaenjaminS]

These houses are nothing compared to a massive swimming pool and underwater houses
