Living at great heights in an architectural statement—that is living in STATE. The iconic building, designed by MVSA Architects, marks the skyline of the Bajeskwartier as an urban beacon on the Amstel. From a distance, the building looks powerful and sculptural; up close, it surprises with its layering, finesse, and an unprecedented sense of light and space.
STATE combines vertical elegance with horizontal transparency. Large glass surfaces alternate with deep, staggered balconies and dark facade sections, giving the building a rhythm and verticality that references international high-rise architecture. The plinth is open and inviting, while the upper floors seem to float. A subtle bend in the tower gives the building its own signature and enhances the panoramic view from the apartments. A characteristic feature is the sharp, triangular facade shape, inspired by the famous Flatiron Building in New York City.
