Hoge Maas residential tower, Rotterdam
This tower with its pair of
masts is situated right on the river near the southern entrance to the Maas
Tunnel. Its cruciform plan draws the surroundings into the building, so that
all five flats on the standard upper floors look out across the Maas River.
The tower tapers at the top to receive two large apartments with a roof garden
on each floor. All facades are predominantly black with untreated aluminium
frames plus balustrades at the corner balconies. Beneath the building is an
oval parking structure that doubles as the plinth for the tower and reaches out
to the park beyond.
