"The Valley, a 75,000 sqm mixed-use building designed by Dutch architects MVRDV, has opened to the public in Amsterdam’s Zuidas financial district. The cantilevered geology-inspired structure contains three towers, 100m, 81m and 67 m tall, which house offices, shops, catering, cultural facilities and residencies. The three are linked by a publicly accessible “green valley” that winds between their fourth and fifth floors. The project has 13,800 young plants, shrubs and trees on its exterior, which will grow into a green facade, designed by landscape architect @pietoudolf. The Valley has a smooth mirrored glass façade on its outer edges, which fits into the business district, while on the inside has a green and natural-stone appearance. MVRDV used digital tools to ensure that each of the 198 apartments has a unique floorplan and access to light and views. The random-looking cantilevered façade ustone tiles of varying sizes."
