A great publication in the latest edition of Stedenbouw magazine about the Hourglass project at the Zuidas in Amsterdam. Byldis supplied the sandwich facade elements for Hourglass, that consist of a natural stone outer sheet of Turkish Limestone and a concrete inner sheet including insulation system and aluminium frames complete with glazing. We also supplied the columns and beams and mounted the bubble deck floors.
Hourglass: seamless realisation through integral collaboration
For the new office for legal advisor Loyens & Loeff and a Premier Suites hotel, initiators Maarsen Groep and Zadelhoff sought a customization concept that offers flexibility. The end result: an eighty-metre-high, shaped monolithic tower ensemble at the Zuidas, complete with an asymmetrical precast natural stone facade. Hourglass lives up to its name. Stedenbouw spoke to architect Haakon Brouwer and deputy director Dennis Mels of Dam & Partners Architecten about the steps taken from concept to realisation.
