CasaNova is a residential skyscraper in the Maritime District of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Built between 2018 and 2022, the tower stands at 110 m (360 ft) with 35 floors and is the 28th tallest building in the Netherlands.[2]
History
The building was designed by Barcode Architects. Its triangular shape respects the sightlines of the surrounding towers. A unique feature of the building is that the bottom four floors taper downward, resembling a pencil balanced on its point. Casa Nova is connected to the adjacent tower of The Muse.[3]
The tower was built on the Wijnhaven 65 plot and is the first triangular-shaped building in Rotterdam's skyline. The balanced towards the plinth volumetry of the building was adapted to the demands of the urban area.[4] Together with its neighbouring towers, the building shares a 1,600 m2 (17,200 sq ft) roof garden above the fifth floor of the linking podium, a four-storey lower substructure housing offices. The garden was designed by landscape architect Jeroen Hamers and laid out by the Koninklijke Ginkel Groep.[5]
