The Cooltower

The Cooltoren is a striking residential high-rise complex in Rotterdam's Cool District, built between 2018 and 2022. At 51 floors, it is one of the tallest buildings in the Netherlands and, together with the Zalmhaven Tower, shapes the city's skyline. The design by V8 Architects stands out for its facade of white bands, balconies, and large windows that let in plenty of daylight. A particular feature is the central crown, which rises above the surrounding residential buildings. Visitors can admire the architecture from a distance, while residents enjoy sweeping views over the city from the large balconies in the middle of the tower.
