This is a building that embodies a unique renewal, and it will serve as a source of inspiration for future projects. It’s simultaneously quirky and chic, and has been designed with a great eye for detail.

EHA sublimely emphasizes the prominent status of the garage as the pivot point between cycling and walking by giving one of the concrete columns a swirling skirt as a base, elevating a garage space into a cathedral for the train travelling cyclist.

We had a warm and professional working relationship with EHA. And it's this relationship that lead to our wonderful and delightfully quirky school in Amsterdam North. It's truly us, thank you!
Elly Loman, principal Hyperion Lyceum
The city of Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam share a long history in which science, urban planning and creativity take centre stage. That history started right here, in the University Quarter.

I really like our school building. It's like a labyrinth that you can explore! There are plenty of hang-out spots to meet your friends, and my favourite areas in the school are the little benches, the soccer table and of course the giant slide!
