Transforming existing buildings for different purposes than their original intentions is as old as architecture itself. But recently it seems a new breeze is blowing into this ancient topic, and much of it is coming from the Netherlands, where there has been a wave of affectionate and generous reuse projects, breathing new life into formerly industrial areas all over the country. Some of these interventions are so sensitive and surgical that they might be seen as prototypes for similar spaces all over the world, making a case for reusing structures
Dutch architecture office i29 has completed a floating home on a canal in Amsterdam that features angled openings and cutaway corners providing views across the watery neighbourhood.
The owners asked i29 to create a house as part of the Schoonschip floating village which is located on the Johan van Hasselt Canal in a former industrial neighbourhood in north Amsterdam.
Schoonschip Amsterdam was envisioned by a group of residents who engaged spatial design studio Space&Matter to develop an urban plan comprising 46 individual water dwellings, housing more than 100 residents.

The floating village has been in development since 2010 and is intended as a model of sustainable planning. Water pumps that extract warmth from the canal water provide heat to the homes, while solar panels supply electricity that is stored and traded with the national energy grid.
