KAAP is located immediately on the IJ, right opposite the Pontsteiger building, behind which the sun sets at the end of the day. It’s a unique part of Amsterdam and Amsterdam North. Whereas this place was once characterised by heavy industry, it is now being developed as an appealing residential area boasting plenty of space. Space that is becoming increasingly scarce in the rest of Amsterdam.

It’s currently a vacant plot, but before long five unique residential buildings will be built here. Small-scale, exclusive and directly on the IJ. It’s why we regularly take photos here on location. It makes the magic of living on the IJ already tangible.

Located directly on the IJ. A great view across the city. South-facing or west-facing balconies. All these, and other, advantages make KAAP a truly unique project. Complement living in an exclusive apartment in a unique location with unbeatable accessibility and KAAP just gets better and better.

KAAP is a complex of five residential buildings and a pavilion, directly on the IJ. With just 70 apartments divided over the five buildings, it is modestly sized and exclusive in nature. All three architects who were involved were challenged to realize something unique at this prime waterfront location. In this blog it’s our pleasure to introduce those architects.
