French architect Nicolas Laisne unveiled a mixed-use tower for Rotterdam’s harbor. The building draws inspiration from the industrial area and seeks to become a gateway to the city. Laisne proposes a tower that invites the community to enjoy the waterfront and also serve as symbol to Rotterdam.

The lower levels are used as transportation and commercial hub while the upper floors are offices and recreational areas. An interesting feature of the proposal is the integration of sky gardens conceived as cantilevered platforms equipped with parks, swimming pools, running tracks, sports fields, and restaurants.
