Construction of the ‘Cooltoren’, located in the Baan quarter, rising to 150 metres, and with 50 floors, it will be the highest residential tower of the Rotterdam City centre. The architecture of the tower is based on the richness of the post-war reconstruction architecture of the district; the plinth of the tower naturally blending the building into the Baan quarter.
The Cooltoren has a triple crown: top, middle and bottom. The crown at the bottom of the tower delicately fits into the typical urban tissue of the Baan quarter. The facades and balconies are a logical consequence of the layout of the apartment, and a direct translation of the many qualities of living at altitude: excellent views, outdoor space and comfort.
The tower will be built with a structural outrigger system, so allowing every apartment a panoramic view of the city. These continuous horizontal windows are sublimated with full glazed corners on all sides. Through this intervention, the penthouses in the top crown have an equivalent—halfway, in the middle of the tower—with apartments having a continuous balcony along the facade.
