Situated at the entrance to Amsterdam’s new Urban Interactive District (UID), The Cube creates wonder and surprise in an otherwise generic and predicable context. The pedestrian-scaled podium anchors the building into its surroundings, while the rotated cube floats freely above, enveloped in a mysterious, metallic cloud. The cube is aligned with southern solar exposure, enabling sunlight to penetrate through a large atrium in its center, daylighting spaces on the north side of the volume. The project is destined to become an iconic object for the new high-density district while simultaneously amplifying and framing the public realm.
