E-lympic
Located beside Amsterdam’s historic Olympic Stadium, within the framework of Plan Zuid, E-lympic will serve as the flagship mobility hub. It is designed as a place to charge your electric car, pick up a shared bike or scooter, and explore new forms of urban transport. More than a charging station, E-lympic will be a breeding ground for innovation and a meeting place for the neighborhood. E-lympic Mobility Hub is a collaboration between TotalEnergies, the Gemeente Amsterdam and Hely.
A TRIBUTE TO THE PAST, A GAZE INTO THE FUTURE
Integration with the surroundings is central to E-lympic's design, achieving a harmonious blend with its culturally significant context. Acting as a frame for the sightline to the Olympic Stadium, E-lympic respects the historical heritage while enhancing Amsterdam's southern gateway identity.
E-lympic integrates architectural elements from its surroundings while focusing on future-proof flexibility and modularity. This approach ensures adaptability to evolving mobility needs and technological advancements, supported by sustainable materials and a circular construction method. By designing a modern timber canopy structure with rounded edges and enhancing the existing sight lines towards the stadium, a contemporary yet contextually fitting ensemble of buildings was created.
A GREEN OASIS IN AN URBAN LANDSCAPE
By enhancing green spaces and introducing sustainable features like water retention, energy production, and CO2 sequestration, E-lympic not only promotes sustainable mobility but also sets a benchmark for urban development. It offers a meticulously designed green environment that fosters biodiversity and supports ecosystems.
ENHANCING QUALITY AND INTEGRATING URBAN SPACES
E-lympic revitalizes the site with high-quality architecture and public spaces, seamlessly integrating into the architectural fabric of Plan Zuid and Verdi. The design accentuates transparency and flexibility, ensuring a vibrant and inviting atmosphere for visitors and residents alike.
E-lympic Mobility Hub stands out not just as a transport node but as a catalyst for sustainable urban living. It celebrates Amsterdam's rich history while embracing future challenges through innovative design and environmental stewardship.
