Montevideo High-Rise Housing and Office Block in Rotterdam
With the removal of harbour operations to the mouth of the River Meuse, the port in the city of Rotterdam lost all importance. This allowed a new urban district with housing and offices to be developed on the former harbour area, however. In addition, the construction of the Erasmus Bridge created a direct link between the new development and the centre of Rotterdam. The architects were commissioned to draw up a concept for a high-rise housing block to the south of the Wilhelmina Pier, on the north side of which tower structures already existed.
