BIG + BARCODE to design terraced “Sluishuis” complex in Amsterdam


BIG has another terraced building in the works. This time around, the practice led a team with Rotterdam-based BARCODE Architects to design the competition-winning scheme for “Sluishuis”, a new 46,000 m2 mixed-use development proposed for IJburg Lake at the edge of Amsterdam. 

The residential complex will be a “building inside the port, with a port inside the building,” Bjarke Ingels says. Showing off different silhouettes at various vantage points, the building will also include 380 apartments, about 4,000 m2 of commercial and public areas, 240 underground parking spaces, and a water-quality program that the architects say will provide enough room for up to 30 houseboats. 


Toward the water, the building block lifts up to create a large opening that allows water from the IJ Lake to flow into the central courtyard as well as bring sunlight and views into the inner apartments of the building. The block then cascades downward and reveals more of itself toward the city.
