World-renowned architect Bjarke Ingels designed Sluishuis
442 flats 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 housing, utility and recreation in the public domain 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 water landscape

“Het Sluishuis is a new neighbourhood on the water of the IJ, for not only residents but also visitors to enjoy. Amsterdam already has many waterfront spots 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-metre-long pier with moorings 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 your sloop underneath into the inner harbour. The special shape of Sluishuis makes for exceptional flats with an  optimal sun position and panoramic views of the water and the surroundings. On the landward side, the building steps up, where it opens up to the neighbourhood. Enjoy a scenic rooftop walk here 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 metres 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 floors from the waterfront. On the other hand, it rises ten storeys out of the water like two massive sluice gates. 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 range of different types of flats and penthouses. Contact us soon for the still available Terrace flats 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. Here you live together without getting in each other's way. Rooms with luxurious walk-in wardrobes are the basis and, needless to say, the living area is particularly generous. Are you tempted? Perfect for those who prefer living and sleeping on two separate floors.

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