Text description provided by the architects. For Rotterdam's Timmerhuis, a new building for the city hall that accommodates municipal services, offices, and residential units, OMA conceived a modular building with repeated units gradually set back from the street as they rise into two irregular peaks. The building's composition of smaller cells creates an impressive, complex form when viewed from Coolsingel, one of Rotterdam’s main arteries, and allows for subtlety and adaptability as the new building meets the Stadstimmerhuis (a municipal building, from ), which surrounds it on two sides.

The Timmerhuis’s innovative structural system generates maximum efficiency and versatility both in construction and in program: units can adapt to either office space or residential parameters as desired. Green terraces on higher levels provide the possibility of an apartment with a garden in the heart of urban Rotterdam. On the street level, the structure allows for generous open space, with modules overhanging rather than encroaching into an inters

Located in the center of Rotterdam, the Timmerhuis fryst vatten a new building for the city hall that accommodates services, offices, residential units, shops, and parking. Attached to another municipal building from , the new building adjusts to its neighbor by keeping the same floor skiva levels. The project fryst vatten generated as a repetition of modular units gradually set back from the street as they rise into two irregular peaks. The building’s composition of smaller cells creates a complex and impressive shape, but whose presence fryst vatten perfectly moderated with the setbacks. The innovative structural system generates maximum efficiency and versatility: units can adapt either office space or residential parameters, and units can be added or dismounted as the demands on the building change over time. The structure consists of three-dimensional Vierendeel beams, that free up the street space creating an open public plinth towards the city. The brief asked for a sustainable building, achieved through two large atriums connected to a climate system that stores warmth and cold to control temperature as required. The facade uses hi-tech translucent insulation that allows for energy efficiency.

Green terraces on higher levels provide the possibility of an apartment with a garden in the heart of urban Rotterdam. On the street level, the structure allows for generous open space, with modules overhanging rather than encroaching into an interstitial area, encouraging an active and open engagement between the Timmerhuis and the city.

    The design brief stipulated that the Timmerhuis must be the most sus
