Sluishuis

NL-Amsterdam

A building in the harbour, with a harbour in the building

The ‘Sluishuis’ is the new landmark of Amsterdam – living on and with the water is the motto for the residents of the 442 apartments. The walk-on Jansen VISS Fire roof glazing projects out onto the water at an angle and was all custom-made by metalworker M.C. Kersten.

The highest fire protection requirements are met by the VISS fire roof glazing from the Swiss company Jansen AG, as fire-fighters can only reach the apartments projecting over the water with difficulty in the event of a fire.
