WATERSIDE III
Waterside III is positioned at a prominent location along the Maas, at the tip of the Oude IJsselmondsehoofd. The site stands out for its layered spatial context, shaped by contrasting scales and identities, from the expansive river landscape to the village character of Oud-IJsselmonde. The tower will offer 176 homes with wide-reaching views over the Rotterdam skyline.

The design responds to its surroundings by linking the human scale of a green terrace base with the adjacent dike and village landscape. Towards the Brienenoord Bridge, the building presents a more expressive silhouette, marking a subtle gesture of arrival to the city. On the Maas side, the form opens up, echoing the openness of the water.
The façade is defined by ascending loggias and generous terraces, giving the building a distinct rhythm while creating moments of interaction between residents and their surroundings. At ground level, a publicly accessible harbor terrace connects to the waterbus, while a new green park integrates the site into the surrounding roofscape. Together, these elements position the project as part of a broader network of public spaces along the river.
