A building known as "The Rock" also located in the “Zuid-As” district of Amsterdam, like the "Valley as shown in the previous images.
The building is designed by architect Erick van Egeraat, completed in 2009 and renovated in 2024. The architect created an innovative composition of shifted volumes and a transformation from light to heavy materialization, resulting in an expressive landmark that appears different from every angle. Each of the three sections of the building reveals its own character and material expression, offering space suited to potentially different tenant requirements.
The lower part is transparent, allowing light to penetrate deep into the building and encouraging interaction with the immediate surroundings. The upper part features natural stone layers arranged in a facade pattern, creating a variety of openings and panoramic views. Both parts are connected by a combination of transparent and printed glass elements and aluminium panels, forming a subtle transition between the two.
