Sluishuis | Netherlands Photo

The Sluishuis, located in the IJburg district of Amsterdam, is an architectural wonder designed by the renowned firms Bjarke Ingels Group and Barcode Architects. The building, shaped to maximize sunlight and views, appears to be ‘carved out’ in a way that creates a visually striking contrast with the surrounding waterways and cityscape. The structure offers an excellent subject for architectural photography, with its unconventional angles, mirrored water reflections, and the play of light and shadow throughout the day. The building’s terraced exterior also provides opportunities for interesting composition. In addition, the area around Sluishuis, including the harbor and the city’s expanding eastern docklands, offers a wide array of urban and maritime subjects for photographers. Visit the building’s official website for more details on access and facilities.
