The Wave
Collective housing · by René van Zuuk · 2004
Almere Stad, Netherlands
The housing block is shaped by a continuously undulating profile that gives the waterfront elevation a strong sense of motion. Balconies, curves and shifting floor lines turn the façade into a habitable wave rather than a neutral apartment slab. This formal energy is not only visual: it also helps differentiate dwellings and maximise views across the Weerwater. The project remains one of Almere’s most immediately recognisable residential landmarks because it converts a simple housing programme into a memorable skyline figure.
