Allard Architecture is designing a new industrial complex in the harbour area of west Amsterdam, near Sloterdijk train station. The building will stand out in the industrial area as it moves from a flat layout to a seven-storey vertical structure. A large freight elevator will enable to place cars on every floor, and a number of floors will have extra loadbearing capacity to allow the utilisation of heavy machinery, such as a forklift.
The presence of double height spaces, cantilevered volumes and roof terraces, come together to result in the building's dynamic shape. This building will serve as a template for an area undergoing a significant regeneration.
