Timeline
Construction
Community
The Johan van Hasseltkanaal is a channel that was never completed, and which should have made a bridge connection between Amsterdam and North Amsterdam possible. For this reason the water, which has always functioned as a harbour basin, is present in excess; excess which is now being used for urban residential and recreational developments.
The construction of Schoonschip will start in the summer of 2016 and be completed in phases over a period of three years. The aim will be to minimise the impact of the building phase where possible, for example by selecting pre-fab construction methods (less waste) and using sustainable energy during the construction phase.
There has been an active community of future residents and home owners involved with the Schoonschip project since the start of the project in 2009. Over the years, many group meetings have been organised at a variety of inspiring location, such as the geWoonboot. These meetings were intended to provide information and form a tight-knit group. Over the years, the makeup of the group changed, but the interest kept growing. Schoonschip still receives weekly enrolments from people who want to 2005 join the project. In 2012, the Schoonschip community signed a sustainability manifesto that confirmed the community’s and all its members’ commitment to live sustainably. In the current plans, there is also a communal space in which the community can organise activities. Additionally, various services aimed at sharing products and services, and purchasing items (such as food and electrical transportation), are being set up.

The initiative for Schoonschip at this location developed as a result of the 1990 “geWoonboot” at the NDSM shipyard, which combined circularity and living on water.
