  The Ceuvel is one of the most sustainable and unique urban developments in Europe. De Ceuvel is a planned workplace for creative and social enterprises adjacent to the van Hasselt kanaal off the river IJ in Amsterdam North. The land was secured for a 10-year lease from the Municipality of Amsterdam after a group of initiators won a tender to turn the site into a regenerative urban oasis. The site, which was heavily polluted, features imaginatively retrofitted houseboats placed around a winding wooden walkway and surrounded by an undulating landscape of soil-cleaning plants. Each of the upgraded boats houses offices, ateliers for creative and social enterprises. The site also includes a public restaurant, Ceuvel Café and in will feature a boat&breakfast and glashouse on top of two boats. Show less
