The Island's form is defined by its soft, organic curves, with balconies and planters that connect to nature. The Gaudí-inspired ceramic façade, made from a mosaic of irregular tiles, adapts to the building’s shape.

The tower has 76 apartments, above two floors of commercial spaces, including a communal dining room, lounge, and karaoke area. The design focuses on young residents with shared areas such as a rooftop garden terrace and five communal balconies spread across the building’s 21 floors.

🌇 The top features penthouses and a hotel skybar. A second oculus completes the sphere at the top. Read more on the design here! mvrdv.com/news/4776/th...

Above the arena, hotel rooms cantilever over the stands, allowing people to see the matches from their windows and creating an oculus in the arena ceiling. Apartments in the double-shell sphere form a garden courtyard, with stunning city views and terraces. 🌳

The distinctive spherical shape maximises the site, eliminating "rear" façades to maintain a connection with the surrounding neighbourhood. 🛍️ Functions are stacked: retail and cafés at the base, with the arena accessed by short bridges at ground level.

With 916 apartments – half which are for middle-income Rotterdammers – The Sax meets the demand for affordable housing in the city centre. 🌇 The project also includes shared living rooms, a communal roof terrace, and a focus on sustainable mobility with a lively plinth.

🎷 The Sax’s distinctive saxophone-inspired silhouette captures the jazzy character of Rotterdam, with light on the façade creating a constantly changing effect, enhanced by bay windows and undulating balconies.
