Rotterdam · Penthouse 60 · One residence only
The Meridian is the first residence of its kind: a 7,200 sq ft penthouse crowning a tower dressed in 14,000 photovoltaic cells. It does not draw power from the city below. It gives power back.
Dusk over Rotterdam. The facade drinks the last light of the day, as the city below begins to spend it.
The Residence
Surplus is returned to the Rotterdam grid: the residence pays its city back in light.
Frames taken from the film above.
Amenities
Every indulgence in the residence is fed by the facade. The pool is warmed by the inverters. The wine room is cooled by the night sky. Nothing is wasted; everything is felt.
Offered At
The last residence in Europe to worry about an energy bill, because it sends one.
By Appointment Only
Showings are held at dusk, when the facade turns to amber and the city lights begin below. Allow ninety minutes.
