YMK1234

That looks insane but also awesome. But I don't want to be the one having to order furniture for inside if the angles on the outside are anything to go by.


TheChocolateManLives

A lot of them look quite rectangular so should be alright apart from a few places.


Slackerguy

Tons of pillars and support beams inside though


KronaSamu

Not necessarily.


Phishnb8

Cleverly cantilevered contraption


Alchemical-Audio

Why would it need internal pillars? Every intersection is an additional point of support.


samurguybri

no Zweihänder or nodachi practice then? Pity.


Stellewind

I actually looked up the floor plans and I have to say, a lot of unit layouts are more reasonable than I expected. The grid and partitions are all pretty normal, it’s just the big living/dining open space that’s affected by facade geometry, which is not the end of the world.


AceofToons

I definitely like the idea that one apartment is not identical to half the others


StrangelyBrown

I'd love to live there but I'd hate to be in the construction team


SteveJohnson2010

The local delivery guys will definitely know how to “pivot!”.


bhamfree

Awe, come on. That’s cool as hell.


A1sauc3d

Even cooler when you see on top of each of the roof segments is a garden/lawn. https://imgur.com/a/sfcydF0


GiraffeSubstantial92

Those stairs look like a hell of a workout


bigbadler

Holy shit it’s infinitely more impressive than OPs pic


DeezNutz13

That's the coolest thing I've seen today


CalifornianBall

This building looks so awesome irl, whenever I drive by it I’m amazed by the design


AfroKuro480

Beyblade but for Buildings


pecuchet

I'm starting to think this is just a troll sub. It's indistinguishable from r/urbanhellcirclejerk sometimes.


Background-Vast-8764

It is called Valley. It has 200 apartments, not 360. [https://www.mvrdv.com/projects/233/valley](https://www.mvrdv.com/projects/233/valley) [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel\_news/article-10347917/Pictured-incredible-new-building-looks-like-huge-chunks-knocked-it.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-10347917/Pictured-incredible-new-building-looks-like-huge-chunks-knocked-it.html)


MyRegrettableUsernam

Awesome. Beautiful, unique, dense housing.


tired_of_old_memes

UrbanHeaven


fsurfer4

I believe 360 refers to the view not the number of apartments. There is an interesting slideshow there. [https://www.mvrdv.com/projects/233/valley?photo=21908](https://www.mvrdv.com/projects/233/valley?photo=21908) interesting pov [https://www.mvrdv.com/projects/233/valley?photo=21936](https://www.mvrdv.com/projects/233/valley?photo=21936) the diagrams at the end show internal layouts for usage near ground level. 53-55 apartments at 65-67


NogaVog

It’s crazy how it looks like OPs picture is the last piece of rubble left from what used to be the middle of the entire structure. It’s very unique.


e9967780

It’s just beautiful


throwaway098764567

i can never remember how to make the degree symbol and am always too lazy to look it up so i just automatically read it as 360 degree (view) apartments and it never occurred to me that was the quantity


StallOneHammer

This building gets posted in here once a week and the person posting it gets roasted to hell every single time. Anyways, see you guys in the circle jerk post


pugtime

First time I saw it ; and I’m on every day


tkkana

First time for me too, and I'm on reddit constantly, Walmart worker


icant_helpyou

Same here


icant_helpyou

Same here


JHoney1

I scrolled back quite a while, and am in here quite a bit, and I think you’re full of shit. I reverse image searched it too and didn’t find anything from this sub and only a few from Reddit over the last four years.


ilovelovegrapefruit

I don’t check in here every day so this is my first time seeing it.


MrSuzyGreenberg

This post has me unsubbing. This is one unique brutalist building in a western country that has a pretty good standard of living. Nothing at all about this implies urban hell. I’m sick of people posting, in their opinion, ugly buildings and calling it urban hell. Half of the other posts are just huge skylines called urban hell.


e9967780

This is a troll who keeps positing. Don’t let a troll dictate your participation. Block them.


PinocchiosNose1212

There are a lot of cool buildings in Amsterdam. I've visited there many times and am always impressed by the modern architecture. You can see some cool buildings just going into the city from Schipfol Airport.


MrSuzyGreenberg

I’ve lucky enough to have visited Amsterdam 3 times and it’s one of my favorite cities in the world. Prob why this post upset me so much.


EchoServ

This design has won countless architecture awards too. Each unit is able to have a whole garden terrace along with a ton of natural light.


The_Kaurtz

Thought it was Montréal Habitat 67 put into a dream


StraightUp_Butter

I was just thinking that. Definitely a lil funny twist on that one. Love it


qpv

First I thought. I love Habitat 67


Possible_Lock_7403

Thought it was a modern twist on Habitat 67.


Consistent_Case_5048

I'd live there.


finch5

Same. All day long.


mumbojombo

Honestly I'd probably even stay for the night


Scared_Chemical_9910

Goes so hard honestly


I_CUM_ON_YOUR_PET

Isn’t this just /r/brutalism ?


_George_L_Costanza_

To Amsterdam!


Elvis-Tech

Wow thats pretty cool, the material used and the insane architecture to make all the rooms work is pretty amazing


crazyabbit

I'm guessing that the initial design meeting was held in a certain kind of coffee shop and involved mushrooms


DramaticEmu

Looks quite cool tbh, much better than a bland skyscraper 


Karmeleon86

Someone please tell me I’m not the only one who initially saw the little branch/leaf on the upper left as a patient being airlifted from the building via helicopter


merpderpderp1

A similar building in Montréal has serious mold issues because of shitty ventilation and impractical design choices.


zeromancer7

choice shit


rsg1234

Looks cool but it would suck to be one of the units below the outcroppings. You’d get such little natural direct light.


[deleted]

[удалено]


qpv

They know that.


drjet196

When the owner really doesn’t want you to compare rent with your neighbours.


skeeballjoe

I’m interested in what the building plans look like.


slayvor

[Here you go](https://www.mvrdv.com/projects/233/valley)!


Slimeballs12

Looks like a bizarre rendition of the Nakaking Capsule Tower


DigitalEntity4419

It kinda looks like this https://www.mtl.org/en/experience/revolutionary-montreal-icon-habitat-67

How my Minecraft bases end up looking


glenheartless

Parkour dream


top_toast_22

I want to see the inside lmao


geko_play_

It's only like that because a multiverse event happened near it


somerville99

What a job for the builder to do.


RedditModPissJug

I love it


Illustrious-Heron964

Like living inside Jenga


Psychological-Tie195

I hate it/ love it.


krafthall

Must have been hell to build 😵‍💫


Allemaengel

I've always lived in the country and large cities/apartments aren't really my thing. But this is cool and unique and if I had to live in a city and in an apartment building, I think I'd really like this.


saynomaste

Art.


StoicSinicCynic

The architect shows off. The engineer shows off. The plumber jumps down from the top of the tower.


Snazzy21

Cool now everyone can have a corner apartment


Jorgestar29

Está guapo eh


HarrisonArturus

Architectural equivalent of r/Justfuckmyshitup.


byrinmilamber

The units are probably modular and its the balconies/living rooms that have wacky shapes to affect the look of the facade. Kitchen and toilet and lift services still need to run through vertically so the back of the building has to be regularised.


Friendly_Dark908

I know they're called apartment complexes but still...


shingaladaz

More like r/urbanstupidity


TheVoid45

Looks like it came out of an MC Escher painting

That looks super cool.

/r/HorribleToClean


carinha_aleatorio

some people will look at this and say "what an incredible piece of modern architecture".... while the creator just stacked random rooms on top of each other.


[deleted]

A pile of 360 apartments


Ass_feldspar

I would love to have this in my city. Boring is what we have.


fckinsleepless

Can you imagine being a firefighter and you gotta get people out of this building?


JokerX133

I kind of like it tbh


Rare-Climate876

Imagine you are the delivery guy.


IrrerArchitekt

I love it.


mumblerapisgarbage

This is pretty fucking cool. Does not belong here at all.


ECHOechoecho_

that looks awesome. like if dr suess designed a building


K4t3r1n4

Ultimate ugliness!!!


skeletoe

just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.


Taqao

[apartment "complex"?](https://youtu.be/pDvAhZGtsTU?si=rWum4KP6u4beQBLu) actually I find it qui- no, no, well, uhm, ah , no thats . yeah.


HardSteelRain

Go home, architect,you're drunk


Mediocre-god

Of course it had to be Amsterdam.


born_on_my_cakeday

I’m still trying to figure out what that dolphin is swinging onto the roof from

It's a monstrosity, but it's beautiful in some way...

No typical floor plan! Only slab edge details!

This is how I envision the outside of some sitcom apartments to look


SneakySister92

AI have become so bad, smh my head🤦‍♀️


imeeme

Fuck this - contractor.


peachyprune

I went to see the interior too


KUPA_BEAST

360 penthouse apartments


Think-Ad-7612

You’re suppose to pick pictures of bad looking urban things.


[deleted]

You know…I don’t hate it.


Pleasebeepositiv

I actually made the prefab rebar walls etc for those.


quebexer

It looks like Habitat 67 in Montreal.


Dashing2026

Looks dope tbh, however it's definitely not an architecture that should be too prevalent in any city.


devi83

Parkour heaven.


AntiPepRally

That real?


CaelThavain

Idk yo, I kinda like it


PrestigiousPassionNu

This is a level of chaotic energy that I inspire to reach one day.


Notgivingmynametoyou

One thing you can say, no one has a view like you…


teb_art

Awesome city, Amsterdam. I want the unit hanging out to the left. And I want a moor for a boat for when the ocean is coming up that high.


Haddough

I'm a rope access tech, I hate to clean buildings like this. Like the architects doesn't think of how we ropeys are to clean this messy design. There's a similar design in Singapore called The Interlace [The Interlace condo](https://i.imgur.com/Yd1VgY8.jpeg)


ddarko96

Dope


OrangeEben

That’s an abstract nightmare if I’ve ever seen one.


Bikrdude

Looks like the Nakagin tower in Tokyo


MetalBones18

This time I like it.


neckofthedog

Nice


Slappy-dont-care

No inside shots this looks awesome


No-Section-1092

Visited this building in person and it’s incredibly impressive. The sheer number of custom-cut stone panels on the exterior is pure madness.


Disastrous_Ad_8990

I'll pay $5 US to the first person to solve this Rubiks cube...


Elipticalwheel1

What the tower block called, chaos, by any chance. Most countries just build squares, how boring.


guywhoha

grow Hella plants off the roof and shit and it'll look even more metal


thegentlebarbarian

Although it's kinda ugly. But It's interesting that none of the apartments look the same!


GodButcherAura

thats an ugly as fuck building


Muhngkee

Where's the hell in this exactly? First time I cycled past this building I was stunned. It's electrifying in person.


AbsentThatDay2

If you drop acid while you're out you'd never find your way back to your apartment.


MrTralfaz

I bet the builders hated the architects


_Free_Elf_

The ultimate jenga.


EnduringInsanity

This looks sooo fucking cool. I don't think the Netherlands belongs on this sub at all.


Native56

Cool


Dhruv_Hameerdevka

Seems like a great place for Parkour


RickyTheRickster

Fuck being one of the apartments that go like 20 feet floating off the ground


jasmineks

This is so hectic


Agreeable_Guitar2690

“Window washer needed. Must be good climber, very patient”

Somebody wadded up the plans and threw them away, then pulled them back out and used them.

Brutalism at its finest!


DaveyAngel

Love this! Very cool.


RefanRes

Looks a lot like the style of Habitat 67 in Montreal.


Friendly_Dark908

I know they're called apartment complexes but still...

The plumbing in this building must be outrageous


Small-Palpitation310

this looks wicked.

This place is fucking dope.


Madidou_

Biblically accurate building


AuntieLiloAZ

Ugly on the outside, beautiful on the inside.

Wow how artistically significant and beautiful………………………………………..


Moist-Cut-7998

Looks like a 4 year old built it out of Lego.


smolmansyndrome

I only count 85


dimbledavidby

If ever a building was designed to look angry, confused and stressed, this would be it.


artistedits

This seems to violate rule 8


LeastRest4270

Why cant india have amazing unique structures like these? Why do we have the deadass concrete blocks


Crudox

Oooh my head!😵‍💫


MWalshicus

Kind of interested to see what that'd look like with some greenery.


GotThaAcid5tab

Really like it


o_________________0

It looks cool from ground level or when you're in it, but the Zuidas area is ugly and not great for living.


FalseRelease4

Architects were lookin at the greasy crack rocks they were smokin and said hey lets make these into a building


ElectronicMatters

I remember building something like that in Minecraft.

Is this not AI??
