ROTTERDAM | Zalmhaeve | 171m | Pro

[Skyscrapercitizen]

We have a first artist impression of this tower. Construction should start later in 2007, and this is likely to become the next tallest of The Netherlands. (Tallest is now Montevideo, 152 m and we have 165 m Maastower UC).

In my opinion it is a NYC style and NYC scale project, I love it. It is part of a bigger project with some nice midrises up to 70 meters.

Total numer of appartments for the project is 700!

Not the best design ever, the setbacks are ok, but there's no way im gonna complain. It's 171 meters after all:cheers:

[Erebus555]

I actually really like this. The set backs are unusual and I love that part! Not you average box and its a good height.

[Dr. Dubai]

Not that bad at all!:)

Great height for Rotterdam of course, temporarily it's even the tallest.

[PIE]

Nice height... but not a very special design.
But it's a great addition for the skyline of Rotterdam!!

[marcobruls]

Blahblahblah



Nice mass :)

[Nout]

A very nice residental tower, good for Rotterdam. I like the last picture in post # 5 -> The Rotterdam skyline is growing and growing...

[Pruim]

temporarily it's even the tallest

Blahblahblah

If only you'd knew...

[SkyView]

Good height for Rotterdam, nothing more.

[wiki]

it looks ok

[Wegcent]

Als ze hem bouwen is die plompe bebouwing bij de willemsbrug wel weer veel beter verteerbaar:
samen oogt het beter dan afzonderlijk

[Eric Offereins]

Typical Dutch design, but the project is impressive. :)

171m is nothing special :lol:

What bla bla bla? Are u a sheep?

It's just a fact. I wouldn't surprise me if some taller plans will catch up in Roffa the comming years.

I guess you thought I wanted to get some attention for the Belle van Zuylen in Utrecht, 262 meter, but we're talking about Roffa here, u know what I'm saying?

[Dr. Dubai]

171m is nothing special :lol:

Sounds kinda disdainfull. If 171 meter is " also" nothing special for you, just don't tire yourself by posting here:)

And yes ^^with you its not that weird thinking that .....troll

Bitch please.........dont get me started on you....



Great tower btw.

[gothicform]

my thoughts on this design - its very boring and modern, very dutch too. that means to me it will be a quality build but restrained, the dutch seem to have a very conservative approach to their architecture with only the occasional piece of post modern design motif that suggests its dutch.
i suppose i like showy architecture which is why it doesnt rock my boat much. despite this it appears to be a good example of what it is. i do like the massing of the scheme in the context of where it is placed in the city, i think it works well there as a peak and certainly adds a spot of density. i always have mixed feelings on rotterdam, or any dutch city having real canary wharf style density because it doesnt feel dutch. still, rotterdam needs some pinnacles.

[Pruim]

171m is nothing special :lol:

This is a residential tower and in the top 5 (or even top 3?) of tallest residential scrapers in Europe, so it is special :banana:

and a skyscraper doessn't has to be tall to be special

[Dr. Dubai]

and a skyscraper doessn't has to be tall to be special

That's true, but in that case it should compensate the height with magnificant architecture. Due to the lack of originality, this one won't be a nominee in a " most special skyscraper race" .

Nevertheless, it's a great tower. Places where you can live above 150 meter are still pretty uncommon in "Yurp";)

[LAYZIEDOGG]

Congratulations Rotterdam ,I drove passed the city this afternoon and its getting denser and denser , 171 m is great but 200+ would be better and I think its time for a 200+ in Rotterdam .

[Skyscrapercitizen]

^^

It's time since long... ;)

[Muse]

a lot of people don't care

171m is nothing special :lol:...and a lot do care. If it turns out to be good architecture, fine.

Thanks Tim. Looks like a solid tower.

The functional height is now set on 176 meters :)

[Nathanaelll]

best photo Ive seen from this project!

[James R. Hawkwood]

WoW!!! a 176 Meter highrise for us dutch people!! :D

And the design looks good too :D:D

[Racingfreak]

I like the first impression, this will be a great tower, and the highest of the netherlands

[SkyBridge]

Structural height 185m... Amazing tower :)

[Sir P von]

these guys from dam architects are certainly enjoying their 15 years of fame right now :lol: their maastower is also a skyscraper that, for me, ranks right up there with the designs of some of the best architects in the world.

this building looks absolutely fantastic. great use of colour and apparant detail of the facade. it also blends in really well with the surroundings. hopefully the end product will look equally stunning as the render. in a couple of years rotterdam will look like a class city. hopefully the local government will also spend some money on polishing the city on the street level because right now, in some areas the place looks like a ghetto.

[Sir P von]

Structural height 185m... Amazing tower :)

structural height as in puny spire, or structural height as in something big and useless so that it will actually look 185m?

[Paulie Walnuts]

It should be Zalmhaeve If I'm correct.................

[SkyBridge]

Actually, it's ZALMHAVEN URBAN so no AE and definitely no EA ;)

[Eric Offereins]

Nice tower, but I am not sure if I like that yellow band at the top.

[Racingfreak]

The yellow band is rubbish

[TouristMan]

wow!

[Sir P von]

dudes, i'm like the only one that said something relevant in this thread (as opposed to the people who are fighting out their little indifferences) except for the heroes posting pictures. how come i'm being ignored? :nuts:

[skytrax]

Rotterdam need some 200+

[SkyBridge]

@ Sir von P

You aren't being ignored - your words are just so wise that no one can disagree ;)

[Elio di Angelis]

Rotterdam rely needs that yeah
