This project by Atelier Kempe Thill was built at the main park of Bijlmermeer in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is a housing complex for individuals with drug addiction. As a typology, it is very similar to a hotel. Small housing units surround a very generous central space with a skylight. This hall is used as the central activity space for a group of up to 60 inhabitants. Situated on top of this space is a little courtyard, offering the inhabitants privacy and a nice view toward the sky.
