Residential complex with 231 apartments and mixed-use functions.

The Red Apple is a mixed-use development which rises 124 metres skyward at the head of Rotterdam’s Wijnhaven Island, located between the city centre and the river Maas. The Red Apple is a highly varied architectural mass with 231 apartments, shops, restaurants and business spaces. Flanked by water on three sides, the Red Apple enjoys views across the river and the ‘Old Harbour’.

The development consists of two major volumes– a mixed use tower and a partly cantilevering apartment block building. The volumes are connected by a public plinth which anchors the volumes within the existing surroundings. All apartments of the two volumes are diagonally oriented and offer a maximum of transparency via floor-to-ceiling glass and provide extraordinary views. The tower’s loadbearing structure is clad in red aluminum panels, creating bold vertical lines which decrease in width towards the top to support its slender appearance. As such, the distinct red stripes accentuates the Red Apple in Rotterdam’s skyline.
