The Wave, Multifamily residential building in Almere, Netherlands.
The Wave building extends across eight stories, featuring silver anodized aluminum cladding and dual central corridors connecting forty-nine apartments.
Construction of The Wave completed in 2004 as part of OMA's masterplan for Almere's new city center, setting a precedent for residential architecture.
The structure incorporates modern Dutch design principles through its tunnel formwork construction method, creating varied apartment layouts for different living preferences.
Each apartment faces south toward the waterfront, with access to a basement parking facility and an independent fitness center at deck level.
The building's exterior surface changes appearance throughout the day due to its alternating smooth and textured facade elements.
