A landmark building for two famous fashion international designer labels; Tommy Hilfiger Calvin Klein. Both brands are owned by PVH. Their portfolio includes also Van Heusen, IZOD, ARROW, Warner’s, Olga and Geoffrey Beene, as well as the digital-centric True&Co. intimates brand.
The buildings concept intents to celebrates Amsterdam’s fresh creative energy and references the city’s rich maritime history. Wanting the building to have a commanding presence, local firm MVSA Architects obtained permission to build at nearly double the permitted 21.5-metre height restriction in the area. At 50 metres high, the headquarters towers above its neighbours.
To underlines the maritime link from the ‘sand’ the architects set the upper 10 floors at a slight cantilever so that the building leans towards the water's edge. The white presence resembles the shape and style of the streamlined boats that sail past.
The cantilevered façade gives the building a dynamic look. The project architect Wouter Thijssen stated it as: "Like a superyacht, ready for departure." And of course everybody knows Tommy Hilfiger has a rather large scaled yacht in the Caribbean (St. Maarten)
Yacht theme has also been translated into the inside of the building. The offices are arranged in an open-plan layout, with different areas separated by glass walls. Thin wooden panels cover the ceiling and walls, while white-washed wooden boards provide flooring

The reason and inspiration why I started taking these kind of hyper long exposures is explained earlier in my stream. And as promised, no bridge this time.
This is a single, tripod based, shot. Taken at 200ISO, f11 (this is merely a part of the full composition. For the full composition I needed a higher aperture, 130.01 seconds at 16 mils.
Post-production was executed with Lightroom. I used several inverted radial filters and adjustment brushes. Finally, I added some copyright signs (in PS). The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.

I hope those effects are allowed :3
The lamp actually lights up.
On his first day of work in the library,Timothy Paperback had to sort returned books back into the shelves. When he arrived at the lat shelve, he realized, that it was completely full, but he still had one book left over. He tried to push in the Book with brute force, which made the Books stacked on top of the shelf fall off and onto his head. This accident made him go insane. Now known as “Page” he roams the city and breaks into Buildings, constantly looking for new Information.
Also, excuse the shitty photo, I was a bit tired while editing XD
