Wijnhaven Harbour and Restaurant
Rotterdam is renowned for its harbor and river in the city. Yet there are barely places to enjoy the water from up close. This is because of the daily 1.5m tidal difference and dangerous spring tide requiring high quays. By making a restaurant with large terrace floating, the water can be really enjoyed. This is exactly what municipality and catering have in mind at the Wijnhaven. To overcome the large tidal difference this pavilion is connected to the land with a special designed ‘tidal-stairs’. The pavilion together with a new leisure harbor for 80 small boats this district will become appealing for both visitors and local people to enjoy a nice cup of coffee or refreshing cold beer.
