In the Amsterdam district of ‘Watergraafsmeer’, near the entrance and exit of the Amsterdam inner beltway A10, you can find the in brick constructed and beautifully with stove­ enamelled aluminium framed building of the Animal Rescue and Ambulance Amsterdam. The wish of the district was a building with a futuristic appearance.

The building’s central staircase forms the heart of the building. From there you can look freely to all sides of the building, which gives a spatial feel and helps stimulating the cohesion. High windows, divided into asymmetrical planes, overlook the ‘Park De Meer’ district. The building also has a meeting room, an instruction room, a bathroom for the night-time volunteers and a comforting mourning room.
