Basilika Fotoshoots

JOYJOYJOY THE NDSM CHURCH / FOTO SHOOT SPACE

THE SPACE

In the hip area in the North of Amsterdam stands the ndsm church offering a huge photo-shoot space. The eclectic look of a Palazzo annex Barn makes it a location with impact.

The simple classic church is based on the architecture of a basilica. In the early days here a farmer barn was used as a secret church. In the fifties a real church but based on the barn principles arises. A big square stretched out in front of the church.

The high wooden roof covering an enormous space of 600 m2. The ceiling with its 10 m height and the wooden beams creates and the absis in the wall a theatre atmosphere. In the middle of the church is a great open square. The raw walls from bricks could be your cool background.

THE LOCATION

The logistic location of the church is very good as the round way from Amsterdam is around the corner with a special exit for our spot. From the exit it’s first to the right and first to the left and voila.

From the Central Station you take the wonderful tour over the river Het IJ with the ferry to the NDSM wharf. By bike you cross the wharf entering the NDSM village behind the Klaprozenweg where the church is located next to the dike. It’s about 10 minutes biking.

The ndsm church is positioned in an area that’s evolving as a comet. That’s funny as the official address is the comet street. The ndsm village is a green area with small streets and squares. It’s designed according the British garden village style. The area, a classic ‘tuindorp’, has a monumental status.

The church is draped against a stretched dike typical for this part of Amsterdam. It’s surrounded by trees. It gives the feeling your in the nature.

The church is nearby the famous NDSM terrain. Here a creative wind is blowing with some raw exponents. A few cool restaurants, like Noorderlicht in a hangar and Pllek in some old sea containers, colours the area. A creative industry hub is dropped next to the river Het IJ.
