Schielandtoren

The Schielandtoren rises 101 meters into the Rotterdam skyline with a red brick facade and 32 floors containing 109 apartments.

The construction of this residential building began in 1994 and reached completion in 1996, marking a shift from the initial plan for an office tower.

The architect Pi de Bruijn selected traditional brickwork for the facade, departing from the glass and metal exteriors common in Rotterdam's high-rise buildings.

From the ninth floor upward, each level contains four apartments, while the lower floors house two units each, along with storage facilities.

The construction team used tunnel forms and a single crane due to the limited space available at the building site in central Rotterdam.
