The project comprises a 45-storey, 158-metre residential tower rising above a podium with a cinema, a wellness centre and a two-storey underground car park. ADP Architecten acted as co-architect to Álvaro Siza, overseeing the project in the Netherlands, submitting the building permit application and preparing drawings for the contractor.

I handled the drawings, from floor plans and details to the natural-stone tile layout for the swimming pool and the positioning of light fixtures. During construction, I reviewed drawings produced by third parties, visited the site and attended project meetings.

Siza often sent us his hand-drawn sketches by fax—yes, around 2008—so we could develop them into detailed drawings.
