With the start of the construction of De Puls, the first urban forest at height in Amsterdam is welcomed to the Zuidas. De Puls is a high-quality, circular building, a place where people can live, learn, work and relax in comfort. De Puls is completely self-sufficient and is an icon for liveability and sustainability. The municipality of Amsterdam has set high standards for the quality of the housing, circularity, sustainability, urban nature, mobility and public facilities.

Use, biodiversity and water form the three main themes for the landscape design. These themes form a coherent whole and, moreover, make a connection with the economic model of De Puls. Green as an inseparable part of the entire plan. The green plan integrates ecological, green structures into the design in such a way that it partly invites use and recreation by people, while other greenery is mainly accessible to birds and insects. The higher you go within the Puls, the more the emphasis shifts from people to plants and animals. 

The green square, as an offshoot of the new station square, is a place where meeting each other is central, amidst international art exhibitions. The intimate park within the block functions as a public green room where there is room for sports and games.

The spectacular urban forest nestles 35 metres high between the tall towers. A place where man is a guest in a piece of nature. Under the trees, it creates a unique view of the city of Amsterdam. The forest reduces heat, is water-adaptive and, in terms of scale, creates a real contribution to the biodiversity within this highly urbanised area.

In addition to providing a lively impulse, De Puls will make a lasting contribution to Amsterdam's green structure. The urban forest between the two towers forms a permanent ecological stepping stone between the two greatest green spaces in Amsterdam: the Amstelscheg and the Amsterdams Bos. The ecological value added to the area by the Pulse reinforces the city of Amsterdam's green policy of connecting the green spaces. This in a powerful and sustainable way. The greenery that we add within this development will therefore become part of the green structure of Amsterdam, which is unique.

The building is completely self-sufficient. The energy is generated by solar panels on the facade and on the roof. The whole building is a source of energy. High-quality energy flows from one tower feed the other so that no energy is lost. The towers are energy-neutral. The mobility plan therefore focuses on maximum use of public transport, (electric) bicycle and pedestrian traffic and a car park that is only accessible to electric shared cars.
