Jonas menu EN Setting new standard in service and convenience Sustainable building, with the servicelevel of a hotel Home What we do Projects Jonas Jonas Amsterdam 2020-2022 Ballast Nedam West Jonas, a new icon for Amsterdam's IJburg Bay, is a consciously sustainable building that feels like a hotel. Ballast Nedam West sets the tone for the new way of living: from luxury penthouses to guest rooms outside your own home and a private rooftop beach for sunbathing. New hotspot in Amsterdam Thinking of IJburg is thinking of water. That is exactly what makes the Jonas project so special. The building plan consists of eight storeys of approximately 25 metres high, 140 metres long and 35 metres wide. More than 273 flats will be housed on this harbour island and will also occupy a central location on the IJburg Bay—a spit of land adjacent to an inner harbour. Its special location and the combination of living, working and recreation makes the Jonas project Amsterdam’s new hotspot. Jonah and the Whale The name Jonas refers to the well-known legend 'Jonah and the Whale'. An adventurous story about comfort, safety and domesticity. These important elements are all reflected in the design. On the outside, the façade, made of dark-coloured pre patinated zinc, catches the eye. Inside, the ‘Canyon’ is the crowd-puller. This unique place is known for its different atriums that connect the various spaces within the building. BREEAM-outstanding certificate The Jonas project has sustainability in its DNA. A healthy living environment, sustainable use of materials and energy efficiency are the basis for the design, with two materials in the lead: wood and sustainable concrete. The responsibly harvested FSC wood has a low impact on the environment. Environmentally friendly cement has also been chosen, reducing the environmental impact of the concrete parts by more than 30%. Jonas will be one of the first residential buildings in the Netherlands to be delivered with a BREEAM-outstanding certificate in 2021.
