The Ravel Plaza complex is a trio of terraced, cliff-inspired towers, located in the Dutch capital Amsterdam, that will take the idea of embracing greenery to a whole new level. Conceived by architectural practice MVRDV, this complex will be home to residences, offices and other facilities.
The three towers will have huge balconies with lots of vegetation, giving the entire building a lush green appearance. The Ravel Plaza complex will also offer magnificent views of the city, and will integrate seamlessly into the surrounding area, with public spaces designed to extend into the buildings.
"We combine the quality of living in a green environment with the central location and the excitement of an urban environment in this unique location," says MVRDV Co-Founder and Director Winy Maas.
