Unique water home (101 sqm) in the internationally renowned and sustainable Schoonschip project

Situated in one of the most forward-thinking and sustainable residential areas in the Netherlands, this architect-designed floating home of approximately 101 sqm offers a truly unique living experience on the water. The property forms part of the internationally recognised and sustainable Schoonschip project, built to the highest modern environmental standards and finished to a high specification. This ultra energy-efficient floating home (A+++) is part of a distinctive, close-knit and progressive floating community.

The property is part of a semi-detached floating home, realised using an innovative double-hull construction. Completed in 2019, the Schoonschip project consists of thirty floating homes forming a pioneering, fully gas-free neighbourhood. The community generates its own energy through heat pumps and solar panels, stores energy in batteries and enables energy exchange between homes.

There is also a shared communal space (“het Ruim”) that residents can use for both private and professional purposes, such as presentations or workshops. In addition, shared electric cars and bicycles are available within walking distance at a reduced rate.

Location & Accessibility
Amsterdam North is vibrant, creative and continuously evolving. The property is located within a few minutes’ walk of Mosveld shopping centre, offering a wide range of shops, cafés and restaurants. Popular hotspots such as Noorderlicht, De Ceuvel, A’DAM Tower, Tolhuistuin, Eye Filmmuseum, Pllek and the NDSM Wharf are all nearby.

For nature lovers, Het Twiske, Noorderpark and the Vliegenbos are easily accessible. Accessibility is excellent, with multiple ferry connections to Amsterdam Central Station, the North/South metro line, various bus routes and the IJ Tunnel, all within approximately five minutes by car.

Ground floor
Via the shared entrance, you enter the spacious kitchen-living area, fitted with a stylish cooking and sink island (Piet Boon). From here, you step directly onto the generous south-facing floating terrace on the water — a perfect place to enjoy tranquillity, views and the unique atmosphere of Schoonschip.

First floor
The bright living room features large windows on all sides, offering spectacular panoramic views over Amsterdam North, including the iconic lighthouse. This floor also includes a separate toilet. By adding a partition wall, a third bedroom can easily be created on this level.

Lower ground floor (below water level)
Below water level, the property features two well-proportioned bedrooms, with a modern bathroom in between, equipped with a double washbasin and walk-in shower. In addition, there is a separate toilet and a technical room housing, among others, the heat pump, wastewater pump and battery storage system.
