Arnoud Gelauff
In 2007, Arons and Gelauff architects won the design competition for the Pontsteiger building in Amsterdam’s Houthavens. Their striking design for a large, landmarking building with hundreds of homes and various amenities, was intended as a key project in the redevelopment of the former harbour area.
After long delay, the developer returned the commission for the Pontsteiger to the municipality in 2013. With a new combination of developers, construction will finally start next spring – eight years after completion of the original design.
Architect Arnoud Gelauff presents the different versions of the design for the Pontsteiger that his office has made over the years. A central topic are the peculiarities of working, as an architect, on a large project over an extended time span and with changing clients.
