Apartment for rent at the Kratonkade in Rotterdam

New Construction | Living in Sawa! The first residential tower in the Netherlands constructed entirely of wood!
SAWA is an iconic 50-meter-high wooden residential building on the Lloyd Pier in Rotterdam. This building is truly special, having won two international architecture awards. From SAWA, you have a fantastic view. There's always something to do in the immediate vicinity, and all amenities are within easy reach, including schools, after-school care centers, supermarkets, shops, cafes, restaurants, and fitness centers. The city center is also easily accessible by bike, metro, or water taxi.

SAWA has important core values, such as CO2 reduction and enhancing biodiversity. The main supporting structure is made of over 90% wood, which reduces CO2 emissions because wood stores CO2. Nesting boxes will be installed on and around the building, providing a safe haven for birds, butterflies, and other insects. This will enhance the neighborhood's biodiversity.

SAWA is not only the healthiest building in the Netherlands, it is also energy neutral.

13th floor:
From the 13th floor (of 15), you enter the balcony apartment of the SAWA.
Walking to the entrance of the apartment, you come across a beautiful gallery. While you watch the action below, the hustle and bustle of the day slips away. This gives you another pleasant place to be outdoors. The front door is internal, which is a welcome bonus in bad weather.
After the front door, you enter a spacious hall with a wardrobe, intercom with video intercom, and a passageway to the compact living room with an open-plan kitchen, equipped with a refrigerator, freezer, induction cooktop, extractor hood, combination oven, and dishwasher. The abundance of natural light through the large windows and the extensive use of wood, which gives it an Austrian character, is striking.
From the living room, you can easily step onto the spacious balcony of approximately 13 m², which faces southeast. From here, you have a sublime view. You can cancel your Netflix subscription. The fantastic view of the water and the streets of Rotterdam you have here never gets old.

The first bedroom measures approximately 4.0 x 2.63 m and also has a water view.

Adjacent is a second bedroom, measuring approximately 2.82 x 2.57 m, which is perfect as a hobby/study or dining room. There is also an indoor storage room with space for a washer and dryer. The bathroom features a shower enclosure with a glass wall and thermostatic faucet, a sink with a mirror and lighting/heating, a toilet, a designer radiator, and underfloor heating. The entire apartment also has underfloor heating and cooling.

General
There is a shared bicycle storage area with charging stations for electric bikes. The "deck" also enjoys all the natural light. You'll find yourself surrounded by basil, thyme, and pumpkins, overlooking the Nieuwe Maas River. This living pleasure is a bonus for residents of SAWA. The communal deck with its vegetable plots, the green heart of SAWA, is a shared garden where, after a busy workday, you can chat with your fellow residents, enjoy a drink, or simply enjoy the abundance of greenery, butterflies, and birds. Extra space and a cozy atmosphere guaranteed.

"SAWA, also known as the 'healthiest building in the Netherlands,' is therefore a model project for new generations, an important step towards sustainability goals, and demonstrable proof that things can be done differently," says architect Robert Winkel.
