Westerdok Apartment Building in Amsterdam, Netherlands

June 05, 2011 Category: Apartment, Residential

Located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, Westerdok Apartment Building was designed by MVRDV Architects. Each apartment has a balcony of varying depths, which stretch as bands along the entire façade offering varied outside spaces and views over the western docklands of Amsterdam. The floor-to-ceiling glass façade can be fully opened and contrasts with the mainly brick buildings located within the so called ‘VOC Cour’ port redevelopment.

The building is located inside the court of a closed city block with one façade facing the waterfront of the Westerdock. The project is currently one of the nominees for the Amsterdam Architecture Award.
