Abstract
The Craft Huis reimagined what a hotel is in the Doughnut Economy of Amsterdam. As The European tourist capital, Amsterdam has been afflicted by social segregation and ecological damage, particularly the historic centre. The future hotel of Amsterdam, The Craft Huis, is designed as the place where tourists can learn from and live with local artists, craftsmen and the community of Amsterdam. At the same time, the hotel supports the local economy and the artists living in the city. The Craft Huis is designed as a Palazzo for craft: the composition of the facade is inspired by the traditional Italian palazzo, with a central open space that works as workshop as well as public interior for the community of the Jordaan.
