NEXT architects designs one of the residential towers of Waterfront/Noordekaap, located at the Grasweg in Amsterdam. Waterfront/Noordekaap is a project from developer Kop Grasweg CV, a collaboration between Hurks and Amvest, and cosists of 5 residential towers by the IJ river.
NEXT’s design connects the Grasweg’s industrial past to the new apartments modern appeal. The location of the residential tower Waterfront/Noordekaap is unique: with a rich industrial history, a free view over the IJ river and the city of Amsterdam and oriented towards the south. These elements are the starting point for the design of which the balconies are a crucial element. The building has a strong character enhanced by the use of concrete, but with a modern twist given by the slim details, the colour and the concrete’s structure.
