The Red Apple Rotterdam



The Red Apple is a residential complex with shops, cafés and restaurants and business space that towers skyward at the head of Rotterdam’s Wijnhaven Island (‘Wine Harbour’ Island). The Wijnhaven Island forms a link between Rotterdam city centre and the River Maas. It is being redeveloped using a dynamic transformation model, which provides development guidelines that ensure a balance between new and existing construction as well as the preservation of fine views and sufficient incidence of daylight throughout the area. The Red Apple is a highly varied architectural mass that integrates some existing structures. With a great diversity of apartments in intimate urban surroundings, it satisfies the demands of modern lifestyles.
