World-renowned architect Bjarke Ingels designed Sluishuis
442 apartments and penthouses at Amsterdam's dé location

With offices in Copenhagen, Barcelona and New York, BIG Architects can count itself among the fine fleur of international inner-city architecture. Its clear and visually strong concepts linking living, utility and recreation in the public realm enjoy international acclaim. Bjarke Ingels created the high-profile design of Sluishuis, which is once again about much more than just living in a beautiful spot on the water.

Living in a waterscape

“Het Sluishuis is a new neighborhood on the water of the IJ, which not only residents but also visitors can enjoy. Amsterdam already has many spots on the water for recreation, but they have come about as if by accident. With Sluishuis, we deliberately created a building with a very extensive water landscape around it. This includes an island for relaxing and a 400-meter-long pier with docking areas for sloops and sailing boats.”

Feel welcome

“To give Sluishuis an inviting character, we have lifted the front as it were out of the water. You can simply sail under it with your sloop into the inner harbor. The special shape of Sluishuis creates exceptional apartments with an  optimal sun position and panoramic views of the water and the surroundings. On the landward side, the development steps up where the building opens up to the neighborhood. Here, enjoy a scenic rooftop walk with panoramic views of the water.”

Every side equally surprising

“I think the beauty of Sluishuis is that from above you see a classic European ‘Barcelona’-Block of 100 by 100 meters with open interior space. However, if you look at the building from any other angle, you observe the incredibly asymmetrical shapes. On the one hand, the building drops down ten stories from the waterfront. On the other hand, it rises ten stories out of the water like two massive floodgates. On the side, the building seems to lean forward in an impossible way and yet it maintains its balance. “

The imposing facades conceal a rich array of different types of apartments and penthouses. Please contact us soon for the still available Terrace apartments and Duplex Penthouses.

Duplex Penthouses

Made for epicureans, with very generous dimensions, één or multiple outdoor spaces and unëvenerable views. The Duplex Penthouse offers a formidable living and dining area on one floor and the 3 bedrooms on the other floor. Here you live together without getting in each other's way. Rooms with luxurious walk-in closets are the basis and of course the living area is particularly generous. Are you tempted? Perfect for those who prefer to live and sleep on two separate floors.

There are still two Duplex Penthouses available: building numbers 58 and 61. Both properties have a living area of about 152 m² and two outdoor spaces.
