Abbink x Co is designing Block Diesel for the Diesel neighbourhood in Watergraafsmeer Amsterdam, a luscious green pocket tucked behind a historical dyke amidst the hustle and bustle of the expanding city.

This multifunctional building houses a new concept in the city centre of Amsterdam.: an extension of the neighbouring Montessori school, a childcare centre, the school gym, a rooftop greenhouse and the local community centre.
