CasaNova is a residential skyscraper in the Maritime District of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Built between 2018 and 2022, the tower stands at with 35 floors and is the 28th tallest building in the Netherlands.
History The building was designed by Barcode Architects. Its triangular shape respects the sightlines of the surrounding towers. A unique feature of the building is that the bottom four floors taper downward, resembling a pencil balanced on its point. Casa Nova is connected to the adjacent tower of The Muse.
The tower was built on the Wijnhaven 65 plot and is the first triangular-shaped building in Rotterdam's skyline. The balanced towards the plinth volumetry of the building was adapted to the demands of the urban area. Together with its neighbouring towers, the building shares a roof garden above the fifth floor of the linking podium, a four-storey lower substructure housing offices. The garden was designed by landscape architect Jeroen Hamers and laid out by the Koninklijke Ginkel Groep.
