Nachteiland tower by MVRDV, Amsterdam, the Netherlands
MVRDV and Space Encounters' proposal for a 22-storey residential tower is set to be implemented in Amsterdam's Sluisbuurt neighborhood. Aiming to enhance community strength, the design boasts a timber framework, an energy-generating façade, and plenty of communal spaces. The project serves as a model for sustainability and environmental friendliness. The building's lower levels are home to stores and cafes, replicating nearby structures, while the tower above compromises diverse apartments. Moreover, the tower aims to become a landmark within this new neighborhood, showing different faces from different perspectives.
