Background
De Ceuvel is a former shipyard in North Amsterdam, repurposed as a circular office park. Former houseboats hoisted onto the land are used as workspaces and ateliers for various creative and sustainable initiatives. Plants purify the polluted soil through phytoremediation and the terrain is used for various experiments with clean technologies. The terrain has a bed-and-breakfast and a cafe-restaurant which is famous for its sustainable approach. == History == In 1919 a shipyard was built next to the Fokker factory. Partly due to the ice-free water at the wharf in the winter, the company flourished from the 1920s.
