Port House, Antwerp, Belgium

At its core, the new administration building for the port authorities in Antwerp is a listed former fire station, the height of which has been extended with a bold wave construction. The façade has an impressive aesthetic appearance. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the new administration building for the port authorities in Antwerp points like the bow of a ship towards the river Scheldt, connecting the building to the river on which the Flemish trading city was originally founded. The entire building combines the structural appearance of the existing building with the dynamics of the new structure. The inner courtyard of the old fire station was covered with a glass roof and is now the reception area of the new building complex. A special Schüco façade construction was fabricated and implemented.
