The Jay - Bajes gebouw H - Bajes kwartier
The project
In the renewed Bajes Kwartier, Building H is being given a second life as student housing. This iconic project, developed by AM, is part of the transformation of the former Bijlmer Bajes into a sustainable, green urban district.
For the front façade, architecture firm OMA has designed an innovative solar façade that seamlessly combines aesthetics with energy generation. The façade features 130 suede-black Solarix solar panels, integrated into prefab aluminium frames, covering a total surface area of 193 m². This creates a striking architectural statement while ensuring a perfect fit with the overall design.
