Jonas wins BNA Building of the Year 2023 Award

During the festive award ceremony in De Koepel in Haarlem, the Amsterdam building Jonas was awarded by the BNA jury as the Best Building of 2023. The winning building was designed by Orange Architects commissioned by Amvest and developed in collaboration with ABT and Felixx, Site urban development, Floor Ziegler and Built by Ballast Nedam West.

Jonas proves that the Netherlands is ready for a new kind of development where sustainability and collective living can coexist in high urban density. The building is designed to strengthen social cohesion by creating a sustainable and inviting heart, not only for the residents, but for the entire neighbourhood. The building sets a new direction for future residential developments and establishes a new standard for collective living. The public space, for which Felixx was responsible, is designed as a collective landscape and is an integral part of the complex.

JURY

Inspired by the biblical story of Jonas who is swallowed by a whale and experiences a pleasant stay, Orange Architects investigated into a design for this large residential building that feels adventurous and cozy inside. The jury judges that the architects have succeeded both ways. The smooth collaboration between client Amvest, the designing and implementing parties has led to a spectacular, narrative 'residential landscape' with groundbreaking solutions for spatial, technical and sustainable challenges. 70% of the 273 homes, can be places in the affordable rental category, making living in Jonas accessible to a wide audience. In addition, it has several public indoor and outdoor spaces, therefore being extremely generous to its surrounding neighborhood.

BNA

The BNA Best Building of the Year award makes the added value of architecture visible. Not the best architect or the most beautiful building, but buildings with added value for the environment, user and society – such as Jonas – are among the award winners.

We congratulate other category winners and the Van der Pek neighborhood renovation with the audience Choice Award!

Congrats to the Jonas team!
