MVRDV architects designed 'westerdok', an apartment building in amsterdam.
the building which has just been completed has a total surface of 6000 m2
contains 46 apartments and a day-care centre. each apartment has a balcony
of varying depths which stretch as bands along the entire facade, 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 other buildings within the so called ‘VOC Cour’ port redevelopment that
are mainly made of brick. the urban plan is a closed city block with buildings
of differing heights surrounding a central court.
