EDGE Olympic in Amsterdam features a wood-based optopping with laminated columns and beams left exposed. The extension is designed with a full glass façade to create a contrast with the existing structure. To manage solar gain, the building features a Dutch climate façade on the east and west sides, utilising a cavity between internal shading and glass.
This optopping, made with sustainable materials, plays a key role in EDGE Olympic’s journey towards net-zero energy. The addition of this top floor, alongside the integrated technology and circular design, maximizes natural resources, optimizes energy use, and enhances the building's overall performance
