Timmerhuis, by OMA. Rotterdam
Timmerhuis, by OMA, is a mixed building in Rotterdam. Finished in 2015 has a total area of 45000 m2 that includes offices, apartments, retail and gallery space. The architect conceived a modular building that grows by adding units on top of each other and makes it far from the street at the higher floors. Is a modern building and visually all the materials work really well. It’s attached to an older building and the clash between old and new is evident. A bit too much in my opinion. But it’s Rotterdam and that’s the only way. That’s why this city is extraordinary.
