Schoonschip amsterdam
Located in the north of Amsterdam, Schoonschip is a residential neighborhood made up of houseboats, initiated by the residents themselves. These 30 houseboats, home to 46 households, together form “the most sustainable floating neighborhood in Europe” and include a communal space to strengthen social cohesion and shared electric mobility.
Sustainable elements such as aquathermal heating using water from the canal, heat recovery from showers, and separated greywater and blackwater streams with biogas recovery highlight the sustainable character of this project. In addition, the neighborhood is committed to facilitating further innovations and experiments, such as bird protection through floating gardens and the expansion of shared mobility solutions for the surrounding neighborhoods.
