Havenhuis Antwerpen

My neighbor invited me to sail as a passenger with his freighter loaded with sand from Belgium to the Netherlands. This trip lasted 3 days and I took a lot of pictures along the way.
The Port Authority Building (Dutch: Havenhuis), is a government building located in Antwerp, Belgium, built between 2009 and 2016. It acts as the new headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority, housing various departments. Designed by Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid. The design of the building incorporates the use of a fire station, integrating it into the building. Attached above and connected to the fire station is a contemporary diamond-shaped structure marked by straight edges, with an additional column providing support from the floor.

Looks like you had a great trip with your neighbour. A good shot of this rather odd (to me) looking top structure.??

What a fascinating building - the architecture is so different and strange - it would be interesting to tour the interior. V

Quite a juxtaposition there...I'm sure that would be an interesting journey.

Prachtgebouw hé. Before they started this building I worked there to prepare the old building for the addition of the top building.
