Former Prison Installation Services
A former female prison block is being rebuilt into a ‘Living Green Tower’ with vertical parks, urban gardening and restaurants in the south of Amsterdam. Designed by OMA Architects, together with FABRICations, and developed by AM Project Developers, The Waste Transformers will supply the installation bearing the same name, that will transform all the organic waste from 1350 homes, into good energy.
In 2016, the former Amsterdam prison ‘Bijlmer Bajes’ closed his doors (to prisoners), and opened the area for a new bright and positive future. This area, in the city of Amsterdam, is being redeveloped into the most green and innovative neighbourhood, in which you can live, work and play. Meeting the highest standards of living, wellbeing and sustainability, one of the six former prison towers - the female prison tower - will be stripped down to it`s skeleton, the rooftop removed and replaced with a vertical green park with a climbing wall, restaurants and offices with urban gardening and greenhouses.
