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.
