Cruquius Island Housing / KCAP
Cruquius Island, a man-made peninsula in Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands, has transformed from a historical industrial zone into a vibrant residential neighbourhood defined by its unique waterfront setting. Originally constructed between 1875 and 1925 to expand the Port of Amsterdam, the area evolved from a cattle market to an industrial hub and now into a lively urban enclave. This redevelopment exemplifies how architecture, urban design and landscape planning can reshape historical sites to meet contemporary needs. While the island's industrial heritage is referenced, the focus is on its transformation into a modern living environment.
