The blue material is the same as used for swimming pool liner coatings. It rains ALOT in R-dam. Think of it as an inverted pool (i.e. water-tight)

Id like to see current pictures of this project, with damage from rainwater and dirt and moist ruining the materials. Its completely absurd that someone allowed something like this to be built.
Apart from the newbie approach to building physics, it seems out of scale and proportion in relation to the building its placed on top of, maybe its already been demolished?

Makes me wonder, do the residents bought there clothes before or after the extension???? what´s the idea of such a big “yell” on this city? It has a nice use of the space (geometrically speaking) but there´s no need for ego comments like “closer to heaven then to other people”. This project is a visual obstacle to enjoy the big picture of this city.

Room at the ceiling? Isn’t it going to be really hot in the summer?

What’s with the color hangup, people? It’s not what makes the project. It’s a great solution to many questions about urban living versus suburban living, and I for one would love to have an apartment/house like this.

A good example of what happens when you don´t know why you are cutting blue-foam.
The interiour is interesting, but the exteriour is dumb. And dumb is not meant as a compliment!

The colour is a small reference to the ‘Beukelsblauw’ building from artist Florentijn Hofman which was situated close to this project (http://images.google.nl/images?hl=nl&q=beukelsblauw&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi). It no longer exists.

To answer Eric’s question about the welstandcommissie: the commission only saw the number of the colour during the design proces. They first saw how the colour was really like when the project was almost finished. Their reaction was: “Did we approve THIS???”. Too late.

I like this project very much in every way.
